Trying to get better at IDing jars that shouldn’t be spawned - w/pics

Long story short: - 18 months ago I tried and wasted money on my first grow kit - moved to knocking up jars of oats with a syringe and failed - tried it again with rye berry seeds and had a respectable yield out of a monotub, trich appeared and I only had 1 flush - i have been leaning on RR and bod’s teks - had 2 rounds of contaminated jars, I could tell by the smell - had what I thought was a clean set of jars that had a good surge at colonizing my tub and then the trich showed up - i have one last set of jars before I start practicing with agar, I already have all the supplies for agar
So seeing this is my last round knocking up with a syringe how are these jars looking? They took over a week to bounce back after the first shake. A few jars are lagging some appear to be 100% colonized. My questions, what’s up with that stray grain in pic 2? Myc branching or a contam? And in pic 3 those grains look grayish to me. Does the jar look viable?

1 and 2 are maybe viable, probably at least a bit bacterial. Do a tiny tray with just them, keep it separate. When you open them up, smell them. If it smells like fruit or dust, toss it. If its mushroom smell its good. If its faint mushroom, it will probably contam after a first flush.
Jar 3 is trash do not open it inside.

Thanks for the input! Jar 3 will go out in the garage with a few other sealed/never opened contaminated jars. Wild stuff going on in those jars. 
Since my jars seem questionable, should I do 3 or 4 jars in a 30 qt tote or try a shoebox size tote for each jar?

Shoebox for each would be safest, that way if one is iffy, but one was fine, two dont get contamed.
