ATL#7 condensation

I have a quick question about some jars I made from an ATL#7 syringe I ordered so my issue is that I have them in a TIT incubator only because I have a lot of friends and family coming over all the time in this very small apartment so to keep them concealed from nosy buddies and family who visit almost daily I had to put my old tit together. The problem is that the grain jars have been in there for about 2 weeks and have only maybe 5% colonization but the inside of the jar has tons of condensation so unlike cubes I know it's not such a good idea to shake the jars up to redistribute the moisture also I only have about the size of 1 or 2 50cent or half dollar coins of colonization. So does anyone know what I could do to distribute the water or if it's best the way it is?

Yeah, sounds like some sort of contam. And you'd be better off not using a heater for your tub. Just put the jars in a tub and they'll be fine. No need for a TiT.

I don't really have any way of posting a pic but the myc is bright white and only really popping up where the the spore drips hit the grain. This is the first time I've ever used SFDs cut into coin shapes and RTV silicon to attach with an RTV SHIP so there should be very little room for contams also the myc looks just like all the pics I've seen on here for ATL#7 myc right on the dot "snow white and somewhat fluffier than most cube myc I've seen although fairly similar. If I come across a way of posting pics I will do.

Yep Oregon it looks just like that almost to the T just on rye. It also seems to be colonizing fairly slowly even though it's only been just over 2 weeks
So why do people expect contams when a jar has condensation above the grain on the inside of the jar?
Also does all ATL#7 myc look like that throughout colonization or does it get more rhizomorphic as it keeps growing?

if its been just over 2 weeks since inoculation and its that small of growth thats normal. if its been 2 weeks since you spotted growth and its still that small, thats indicating somethings off maybe raise ur temps a bit.
you should not be expecting contams if you have condensation its just because of a temperature differential in the room they are colonizing in, causing condensation to form. if you dont want condensation keep a more steady temp.
ATL7 mycelium will change colors a lot. it will show "brown-like and orange-like" hues in color as it ages IME. it looks pretty trippy and will show its true colors more once it colonizes fully

Usually an acronym for "in my experience".

Hey Oregon I have my ATL#7 jars in a TIT incubator which could be causing a lot of the condensation and the main reason I used the TIT is because the temp where I live inside stays about right at 70F most of the time except some times it can drop a bit on a real cold day and I have no way of raising the temp so if I were to take the top tub that's holding my jars and just pull it out disassembling the TIT would that cause any more problems other than slowing down the colonization?

bacteria will usually start as goopy little wet rings around the grains (if the grains look wet against the glass watch out to see if they start to look 'rotten'). if you suspect a jar has bacteria, you'll for sure be able to smell it once you open the jar. itll smell like rotten socks or bad milk type smell.
if it doesn't get below 65F at night, you can just set them on your shelf in the room right in the open maybe with something on top of them to block dust and you'll be fine. i use a space heater with built-in thermostat to keep the colonization closet at 70-80F because its a constant fluctuation between 23-60F outside this time of year right now and it reallly slows things down unless you got a heater or something.
ive never dealt with a TiT neither have i looked one up so idk, if you got a heater in your house to heat the room temp up to 65-75F it'll be all good you wont need an incubator
