OK. Seven days in and have nice mycelium growth forming but some cakes have some translucency around the white. Is this normal? Thanks in advance.

Here's the pictures I got of two different jars. Have 12 in total but didn't want to take pictures of them all and it's kind of hard to see the translucency in these(stupid lighting) but here's what I got.

Take that foil off bro, it's slowing down colonization and inviting contams to grow in your jar. The dry verm layer is all the protection you need.

Thanks for that advice. Done! I will take all the advice from you professionals I can get as this is only my second grow. So what do you think? What you see look ok?

Looks good so far, nice strong mycelial growth! 
For future jars, I recommend using the half pint wide mouth jars, the cake will slide out of the jar a lot easier come birthing time.

Those look amazing! I'm about 11 days in to my first grow. I started with 12 jars and all showed growth within about 4 days. One of the 12 took off like mad with some kind of crazy white mold. By day 6 it was growing out of the lid and clearly not mycelium. I had to chuck it. It's strange that the other 11 are perfect, but that one was COMPLETELY overrun within a few days. Also, I left my foil on as per the suppliers instructions. I figured it would help keep contaminants out, but it clearly inhibits maximum gas exchange. I think Ill sterilize my box (out of fear from spores from the bad jar) and remove the foil from my remaining 11. Good Luck! Oh, What strains are you growing?

Will do(keeping updated). Thanks all for the responses. . Sorry about your one jar, unknown, but atleast you got lucky with the other eleven - it's all a learning experience. Keep up the excellent work and I'd like to know how your grow turns out.

Will do, my friend. I'll keep an eye out for more of your pix. I'm curious to see how our grows parallel one another. It looks like you probably have more overall growth than I do at this point. It's pretty exciting to watch the mycelium form knowing you're just a few weeks away from all that goodness. I'm growing 8 psilocybe cubensis and 3 of some strain the seller calls Thai Tanic. What are you growing?
