GLC Jar Keep or Toss?

Did 1st GLC Lastnight
The master jar was 100% colonized but I opened the lid after separating the jar from the rest & dumped out the remaining water and I realized the water smelled like some nasty bacteria, not mycelium.. i'm separating it now but it kills me to see that huge chunk of mycelium go.. and the GLC didn't even go that smoothly.. kinda messy actually with aspirating the syringe, it getting clogged, non sterile air etc.. I feel like I screwed this up but we'll see, i just got what mycelium water I could but it's not at all like I saw in the tek..
I'm running low on inoculant & I want to be self sufficient, I think it may be time to try g2g next time.. seems so much easier & neater believe it or not I'd rather have to open the lids quickly & handle mycelium with clean gloved hands rather than have shit squirting back out of my SHIPs (maybe the lids had something to do w/ it they're polypropylene w/ the red gasket)

So what I wound up doing was separating the jar and as an experiment I decided to pop it open and break it up (crumbled) and split it between 2 other quart grain jars that had no signs of mycelium yet (no smell though either when i opened them). So it's a very simplistic ah-what-the-hell experiment i saved a bit of grain in the bottom of the master & filled the jar with a lil warm water, shook it around and wished I'd been able to do that in a sterile manner as water rich w/ mycelium I saw after shaking! Beautiful

Holy Shit am I glad I did that!
- 2 jars w/ no signs of growth now near 100%
- the rest of the grains in the un-clean master were just covered with tap water (it was either throw it away or experiment so i popped the top off real quick filled it with warm tap water & it's appearance is putting my other LC's to shame!
I'm putting the 2 jars that were separated back w/ the others (spawning to bulk tonight) & I really think I'm going to use that master-glc jar mentioned above.. what the hell? it didn't smell bad & myceliums growing ridiculously fast
