Hey, first time grower here. We're using 1/2 pint BRF cakes and are almost to the consolidation phase. while most of my cakes are >90% colonized like so...

One side of of a single jar looks like so...


The difference in the rate of growth is what concerns me.(growth continues albeit much slower than any other inoculation point.) The other inoculation point on this jar has grown at the same rate as the other jars as well. Am i being paranoid? Is this some kind of contamination? and if not then why the stunted growth? Any shared knowledge would be greatly appreciated by this novice!

Looks good to me. 

If it is done consolidating and there are spots that won't colonize.  That usually means something else has moved in and it wont touch it.  I don't see any indication of contamination, it does look a bit wet inside though. 

Next time, get the wide mouth jars if you don't move on to grain.  They significantly speed up colonization time, and while in the fruiting chamber, water stays more even throughout the cake instead of sinking to the bottom.

Phew okay so should leaving the jars upside down take care of the extra moisture?

If its a BRF jar, moving it any which way other than keeping it straight up and down can have consequences.  You want to make sure your verm barrier stays a barrier or there is nothing to protect your uncolonized brf/verm.

Next time you do the recipe, just use less water.  That is all I was implying.

Alright, sounds good
so I should just let it continue to colonize and add it to the FC when it catches up to the rest?
Thanks in advance and sorry for all the questions
