Therefore the bacteria needed to be introduced at some vector and unless that is fixed OP will continue tp grow contams regardless of whether he has proper GE or not.
He had germination, but he had the common symptoms of lack of gas exchange. Weak clumpy myc.

Does not sound like he had germination at all in the OP. As for that link you posted it seems like you were the only one with the GE diagnosis. Too me they looked bacterial indicated by the hard leading edge and the weak growth elsewhere which looked yeasty to my eyes. Like I said before, bacteria is not caused by lack of GE, but will thrive in it. The bacteria needs to be introduced by something, either contamed inoculate or germinating endospores.
If you want to see what a clean culture that is stalled looks like refer to the PP5 containers in this pic.

There were no contams present, and as soon as GE was reestablished they finished colonizing.

No. The whole concept of v tek is that there is not much myc breathing in the container to begin with. I made the mistake of not taking into account how much they would get filled when I G2G them. It would be far better to not have them stall period. All in all my v tek experience thus far has been rather frustrating. For me bulk was much easier. Gonna still keep trying the v tek tho, I think it has good potential for exotics.
