Is this LC ok?

I made my first LC, I used light malt extract with a touch of honey and inoculated with cube spores.
When I inocculated the LC I also did a bunch of jars, the jars have not shown growth yet but this is what the LC is looking like. I was shocked when I pulled it out today. I put it on the stir plate for about 30 seconds just after I took this picture.
Any feedback would be great.

LCs from spores are sketchy. No spore syringe/print is ever 100% clean.
This is because the cap from which the spores came was more than likely fruited in the open air.
You cannot know 100% if an LC is good or not by visual inspection.
Test jars must be shot up and grown out.
Conditions are not correct for germination of spores in sugar LCs, grain LCs or extra light malt extract based LCs are perfect for spore germination.
For best results, make LCs from a fully colonized grain jar(GLC) or from an agar wedge.
Or skip LC entirely and just G2G(Grain to Grain) transfers to expand your mycellium.

I am just experimenting, I have been hearing that they are hard to keep clean alot, but I just wanted to see what my results would be and how it would effect colonization and such.
