No, just shook one right out of the PC when it cooled, mainly cause my last time i couldn't get them to shake at all. like to the point i thought i would break the jar, it was just all stuck together.. so i'm just happy this time that it seems to be going a bit better.

Why shaking so soon? I (and pretty common practice) wait until ~20%... this makes spotting early contamination easier bc (assuming you only inoculate one place, towards/on the glass) you should only have one primary source of growth... if you inoculate the "top left" and 2 days later, notice a spot in the "bottom right", there's a good chance (very probable in fact) that you're dealing with contamination... g2g can be performed, if the spread is minimal and clean mycelium can be accessed/removed without disturbing said contaminant... large fruit coming your way in bounties!

Had amazing results using the pf tek the first time, next grow moved on to wbs shoeboxes in a Martha again great success, the next three runs all types of contamination. Moved onto monotubs and had some killer runs.

Still waiting to find out but so far, so good. My BRF jars are nearing week 3 and no signs of any contamination. Mycelium growth is on-target. So I went ahead and inoculated 8 more jars the day before yesterday.
I'm getting into mushrooms for health reasons, and I really think my grow is #blessed somehow. Can't shake the feeling that all will go well.
If problems do arise, no biggie, I'll just pick myself back up and try again, try better.
