First grow- day 8

First grow, got Peurto Rican. Injected Monday 3/19/18. Experimented a little with grain I had on hand. Popcorn, wbs, and barley. Only jars with white fuz are the popcorn only jars. Started noticing white fuz on day 6 in one jar now day 8 and 3 jars of popcorn all have white fuz 3 other jars are showing no signs but I will leave them Incase the nutritional content of the other grain isn’t as good as the popcorn. All jars are sitting inside a 5 gallon bucket with the lid just set on top. The 5 gallon bucket is in a grow room for marijuana. The goal was to keep them as warm as possible. The biggest mycelium spot isn’t about the size of a silver dollar. Should I gently shake the jars around? Or leave them and allow the mycilium to continue spreading the way it is? Any advice is greatly appreciated

I wouldn’t shake them just yet. Also be careful keeping jars warm during colonization. Warm jars can accelerate contamination potential.

I'd shake them to distribute that moisture around.
Only on the jars that have growth like the one in the pic.
68- 72 is perfect for temp.

I would guess wait a little bit more till the mycelium has spread to at least half the corn and then shake.
Please correct me if I am wrong

Thanks guys! What about substrait for them once they are fully colonized? Good mixture for Peurto ricans?

Coir will work fine very noob friendly, manure or straw can work to with pasturization.

No difference essentially. And coir is foolproof.

Looking good. You'll have clean spawn to use within the next week at this rate.

Contamination?!?! Blueish. Only 2 small spots in one jar. Other 2 jars look good. Anything I can do? Yesterday I shook jars and In 24hrs mycelium growth was crazy fast all 3 jars look almost fully colonized. Do you guys think my mycelium can overpower the contaminant if that’s what it is?
First 2 pics are the jar I’m worried about other 2 jars look good to me

Yeah sorry man trash those jars and start fresh, try to dry your popcorn more before loading it in jars to pc, your popcorn looks kinda wet and that coulda been part of your problem brother.
