cobweb mold?

Cobweb mold has a very light, transparent, and airy look to it right? out of my 30 jars on day 15 3 jars finally showed growth. 1 being a nice green mold, and 2 being this light white transparent looking growth which is growing quite rapidly. I assume its mold correct?

will have some up momentarily. from first signs of growth this took approx 2-3 days to get to where it is at now. there is a seperate spot from the large group and its a small little round dot about the size of a BB and i can see hair looking stuff coming off around it

any opinions. hopefully its mycelium. but if so 2 out of 30 jars is gunna be a pretty bad ratio, none of the other 27 have shown growth and dont really want 2 like 2 weeks ahead of the rest

Cobweb usually takes over a jar within 48 hours of visibility. If your on day 15 with no growth with 30 jars inoculated, you've probably got problems to look at. What conditions are your jars being stored in? Are they made as per the PF Tek with 4 holes and a verm barrier?

They are stored with a 12/12 6500k lighting cycle at 73-75 degrees. Followed EVERY step to the PF tek except for microspore tape over the 4 innoc holes as i read mixed reviews on it. and its been 48-72 hours since first signs of that growth and thats all its done.

Are you stacking the jars in columns? When you inoculated, did you get the tip of the needle next to the glass? I know you said you followed every step, I'm just looking for the little things that often get overlooked. If it's nothing to do with your tek, then I'd say you probably have a bad syringe/weak genetics.

Some do not use it. But it is highly recommended. For the simple fact not only does it add as an extra filter against contaminates. But it also helps keep moisture from getting to your dry vermiculite barrier upon sterilizing your substrate jars. If that happen's then it becomes a gateway for contams to get in.
For future reference, it is fine to inoculate through the tape. And if your one of those over worriers, you can add another peace of tape after inoculating.
Don't know about everyone else. But right under the lip of the lid looks awfully dark. Take a few more pics, it's really hard to tell what it is. from here it does look like cobweb.
