SO again we PC'd some jars up and inoculated them with an LC. We 2 jars at first to try out our solution and everything went well those are contam free. Then we did 12 more jars later and all of them have the black mold in them but my thing is it only starts at the top of the grain no where else and it happens when the jars are about 80 -90 percent colonized. We did the same steps as the first two jars which went well. What could be the problem ? And they are done in a S.A.B we even did some mod lids, my guess it could be the LC ? so SHould we g2g with the 2 jars that are good ?

Stop using shit without knowing its condition. Use agar to test your lc. Small Brf cakes if you got it too. Once you know it's clean I'd start from there. Also use proper filters for your lids.
I would recommend you stay away from liquid culture until you have a better understanding of everything and have the sense to make sure it's clean.
LC is cool, but you just fucked up 12 jars because you didn't want to test it.

Honesty it sounds like your lc got contaminated after the second jar knocked up. Or your filters failed. Recently while knocking up 45jars and had 21 of them fail with black mold at the top. All 21 jars had new polyfil lids but they where last 21 knocked up. Testing with agar is great but w Has its limits. I wish you luck losing a bacth of jars sucks but its better at that state of the grow then in fruiting.
