another newb question with picture

alright so both containers where done in the same day using bod's freakin awesome tek (disregard middle jars) about 15 days ago. few days ago i sprayed some water in the one on the left and it resulted in the difference in mycelium (forgive my spelling, my spell check is an asshole and i just discovered these really delicious thc infused candy strips.)
so question is: was my sub a little drier and needed water and thats why the left exploded when i misted the top?

Take a closer non blurry pic of the mycilium because a quick explosion of growth makes me think of mold. I cant tell from your pic but usually thicc clumpy pale white mycilium = trich.

I can't say anything about the tub on the left with any authority, but the one on the right worries me a bit. My shoeboxes were all completely consolidated and pinning within 10 days. Not as crazy as the one on the left, but way more than the one on the right.

Don't panic just yet. I have been wrong before, on a great many topics. Let one of the pros weigh in first. You could be a-ok.

Smell, if it's bacterial. I did six jars of wbs and apparently didn't pressure cook them long enough, because only two made it to full colonization. When I cracked open the others, it smelled like someone took a sh** in a grain silo during the summer heat.

Sometimes bacteria can have a sweet, fruity smell.
Anything but fresh mushroom smell is no good.

Thanks for the heads up! That mushroom smell is extremely distinctive, making for a very good indicator of healthiness.

Might have just misted too much...just keep an eye on it and give it plenty of air.

Yes. If it is contaminated, it isn't going to hurt anything to separate it and observe it for a day or two.
