How do these plates and jars look to you

So first off would you guys use these for grain??
 I know some are better than the others.
Next since I’m to the point of a2g I need to learn spawn better. The only thing I struggle with is telling apart bacteria and regular moisture. I have a tendency to oversoak the wbs.

Cultures and the wbs look good. Maybe a little less dry on the wbs next time. Nice work man!

No they’re transfers from another plate, why?

What's your agar recipe? I love the sectoring of the mycelium. I have a few cultures i'd like to put on a plate like that

I make my plates with like 4-6g lme with 7-8 agar. They seem to grow really fast on that. I have some varieties I’m not planning on growing anytime soon so once I got a clean dish I put a transfer to a plate with around 12lme and it grows super slow so I can just throw it in a drawer and it’ll be like 6 weeks minimum til the plate covered.
I’m still new to agar so I’ve been trying all kinds of ratios.

The sectoring is the reason I’m not totally sure about them. These transfers went very rhizo immediately and so I can’t tell if some of the darker looking spots are from possible bacteria or just because it sectored so fast that’s how it grew.
Most of my stuff starts as a fluffier circle at first.

The plates are hard to tell when the growth is that uneven. Might be from too low of nutrients in the agar. Or could be a contam. They aren't ready for grains yet imo. Wait until they grow out more. Maybe another 5-6 days.

I’m gonna give them another 5 days at least, I took a transfer off the bottom left plate the other day Incase it wasn’t clean. I’m using these to make 4 quarts of wbs for my first big tub, so far I’ve only done a bunch of shoeboxes, so I really don’t want a dirty plate to bring the rest down.
I’m also considering only using the parts of the plate I know are clean instead of dropping the whole thing into a jar.
I’ve been doing all kinds of extreme agar recipes to see what they do and so far almost all of my low nute plates that I also poured thin are extremely rhizo.

Are you doing 4-6g lme with 7-8 agar per 500 ml water? I'll give this low nute a try too.

Ok so if anybody that’s had plates like this before sees this here’s my main question.
The top left plate in the picture is my favorite. It looks great except for around 11 o’clock there’s that darker line going diagonally out. My gut feeling is it’s clean and just sectors out like that but I’m not positive.

Thanks for the comments guys it’s weird they look so much more rhizo in pictures than in person.
