Looks good to me so far. 
How did you inoculate?

I like that technique with the pp5's,  I just crack the lid open about an inch turn to the left and it gets plenty of gas exchange. 

Are you prepping one jar at a time?  :lol:

I inoculated with agar and no I'm not doing one jar at a time I'm only using 2 quarts for a mini mono and I didnt have the other wbs jar prepped(wasn't home ) but last night I ticitac toe tiger dropped into another one

I'm isolating a strain on pasty plates right now then doing a 66qt mono but for now I decided to see if I could produce a good fruit to clone

It's. Little early to tell

I see some condensation tho

Try to keep temperature fluctuations to a minimal in the spawn colonization area. Wherever it may be.

Large temp swing leads to lots of condensation which can cause more problems

U will prob be fine tho. Look like those will be done in a shake or two

Once fully colonized due the shake test. I love it.

Hard to tell just yet. 
Usually you can tell if there is bacteria when the jar is almost fully colonized and some areas won't colonize.  Those areas will then turn all gooey and wet and will never colonize. 

Depending on how badly bacterial it is you can sometimes get away with spawning, however spawning with bacteria is more of a pain in the ass with a good chance of getting trich before a first flush.

Personally I shy away from tiger drop.  In my experience bacterial contamination on agar often starts at the edges, so I tend to think bacteria are probably hanging out along the rim and sides of a lot of clean looking plates and just haven't had the luck of finding the agar yet.  Basically I consider the sides of plates a contamination vector.  Tiger drop involves a lot of potential for agar to touch the sides of the plate which makes it more likely to pick up stray bacteria... maybe not enough to cause a problem.  Either way It's not my preferred method.  A single wedge can also do the same job and not have that vector.

Another main source of bacteria is undercooked grain.  1.5 hours at full pressure for those pp5's should suffice, but longer won't hurt.

I would wait until full colonization with those.  No shakes needed.  Once it's ready just pop them out into the bulk sub and break it up with your hands

For the jar in the picture I picked agar from the center and avoided edges actually my second jar that that is a different story

When to shake is a personal preference. We cannot answer that w out pics or great description with reference to the amount of colonization in last pic...

Ime it's not always obvious if bacteria lies hidden.

If metabolites form, sure sign NOT to expand the jar into more JARS.

U may be able to get away w spawning it tho to bulk.

The shake test is used to ensure a jar is worthy of making more JARS for expansion. Once fully colonized wait few days to ensure full colonization.

Shake the jar. Wait 24 hrs. No longer than 48 hrs. Then check for signs of wetness and metabolites. U should see all the kernal fuzzing back over with white growth and zero  wetness.

Any wet jars should be set aside and if they do not fully recolonize I never use those for anything personally maybe outdoors.

U can also after 24-48 hrs tip the jar upside down to check thay the kernal are held together again by the new fuzzy growth.

It won't look fully colonized like before but u will know when one jar is wet and bad then u will always know I swear by it

I have a hard time being able to tell using smell.  I can open a jar that is clearly bacterial and it smells fine to me.  By the time you would really smell it I would think it would look rather obvious that it was bad. 

visually though you can tell a lot by what has been mentioned.  Metabolites, or wet grains, or even slightly damper looking grains that don't fully colonize over. 

Also when you achieve very clean spawn you'll notice that the mycelium do not grow as white and thick, but rather lightly cover all the grains.  This is actually the best indicator to look for because it is how you can tell very slightly and mostly hidden bacterial from totally clean nearly bacteria free spawn.  Hidden bacteria that isn't causing metabolites or wet spots will often still be identifiable because the mycelium will grow more densely.  That can take a bit time to learn to see, and it can also depend on how you inoculate and how that particular culture grows out on grain.

Here's what I consider very clean spawn.  This is probably the cleanest I've grown so far.
