Contamination question

hey guys first post here and i have 12 brf cakes inoculated with texas strain p. cubensis, all of which seem to have good growth except two jars.. the two jars i am mentioning have weird orange spots on the sides of the jars and they are definitely not mould they are either a contamination of some sort or what i think might be rust water because the lids i put on had rusty inoc points and they were pretty wet, my question is that if this is a bacterial contamination or rust, will my jars still be good to fruit? the contam hasn't grown at all since its appeared and myc seems to be taking it over which leads me to believe it may be the rust. although i know that seems very slim.
please let me know thanks !

Hard to say without a pic... but rust is probably the culprit.

That first jar looks wet. I would continue to grow it though.
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

That shit is not right...I'd toss it...you could rinse it off really well...dunk n roll, isolate it from the rest of your cakes and see what happens...but I would bury it in a flower pot.

I wouldn't toss it. Do whatever you do and fruit it.
