Pf tek condensation

I'm starting to see condensation build up inside the jars. I don't know if this is normal or a bad sign. I took a pic but it doesn't do any justice. I have 12 jars and 9 of them have this happening. One thing I'm doing is I put the heat up to make it about 80 degrees in room all day. Turning it off for the 6 to 8 hours I sleep at night. Can this temp change in the room be the culprit. They were looking so promising and now I'm getting worried. Please help. They look worse in real eye view. The pic sucks

Don't trip unless they stall out or turn colors... What are the temps like in your room without the heater?.

Looks fine. You should probably stop using that heater, 66-70 is a better temp range.
The temp changes + the water produced from the oxidative respiration of the living mycellium in there are probably combining to produce that water. No problem.
--------------------
I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

I thought those temps would be too low for this stage. But I'm going away for a week and I can't leave the space heater on. Could burn the house down. If there was contamination would it have shown up by now ? It's been 5 days

The heat gives the contams more of an advantage than the mush mycellium. Also, shittons of spores in that syringe, not much in the way of contaminants. They can take their time to show up.
It can definitely be fine at lower temps than you have. When I started it was like high 50's low 60's most of the time, no problem. Just a bit slower growth.
