They look like they are doing good and will probably fully colonize without a shake

So no shake may be needed at all? I like the sound of that. This is my first agar to grain go. Would it make it harder later when it’s time to spawn to get the grains out of the jars?

I’d shake them. If you do, they’ll be done in 3-4 days, tops. If not, you might have to wait a week or so.
If it’s too clumpy, hit the jars harder🤷🏻♂️ They’ll break up

did you tint your agar blue or green? couple jars not sure i'm seeing the agar or something to be concerned over.
also bottom jar (4th from top) need close look, that uncolonized space from top of grain going down an inch, looks dark/mold like on the lower edge. if looks clean to you then no worries, i cannot see it well from here.
as mentioned above also no need shake any of them, they will finish. shaking helps speed it up but can also destroy if hidden contams are present- they get redistributed and myc has much harder time overcoming such. otherwise, if not worried or pressed for time to finish colonizing, you can shake them all (i'd watch that bottom one, no shake). they will either bounce back quick and finish colonizing or will stall- which would say they probably bacterial.

Well bringing out hidden contams is good. You WANT them to come out or else you end up spawning them and ruining an entire tub🤷🏻♂️ Sometimes I shake 100% colonized jars that look suspect, just to be sure.

The agar plates I poured were THICK. I cut maybe quarter size chunks and put an entire plate in each. Added no color. Golden Teacher.

Also not sure what to spawn them too. So far I have only used BFR cakes to coir only in shoeboxes.

that's a real good point on shaking them always anyway feldman, kinda thing that just flies on by me, waving sarcastically and laughing maniacally on its way
Kyhoops, 3rd from top jar, center top of grains was the bluish/green i was seeing, not sure what i'm seeing on first two jars, but assuming it is agar as well (bit grey/darker)
for spawning them..well, 1:1 - 1:3 is good grain:c/cv/cvg ratio. so pick yer poison
I follow ShaperDreaming SFF shoebox assembly using eat's unbucket tek for cv prep, but under field capacity. 1q grain to 1q cv (under field cap), tamp sides in good, then case with 1p cv, hypermist it and latch lid till pins form.
see also Shaper's SFF factory for beginners, it is what we are sticking with until feel like moving to bigger/monotub level stuff.
mushboy also has a great making shoebox tek
