Contaminated? Not sure if I should toss or let it ride.

Contaminated? Not sure if I should toss or let it ride.

I tried growing a single time in the mid-90s using PFTek. I was moderately successful despite poor growing conditions (sweltering heat in deep south, US).

Anyways, trying to make cultivation my new hobby after not having one since I got out of homebrewing several years ago.

Not sure if this -- --  is bacteria-infested or not, so would love some input from the community. Not in the pic, but the entire bottom also has no mycelium growth, but not any visible dampness on the glass.

This has actually been a few weeks, so with that time frame, I'm assuming contaminated, but thought it'd ask before ditching these and trying again. All of my jars are about the same. This is white millet, but I also have some with rye berries. I used a SAB. Also tried both agar wedge transfer and direct multispore syringe. All are roughly the same after this length of time.

I just got a spore print, and was going to try that on agar plates soon instead of the syringes I used this first time.

Just wondering if I should keep these around a little longer and try to move to shoebox, or just focus on attempt #2.

Don’t look bad to me, maybe a few more pictures though. Also you can trace on the jar with a marker allowing you to monitor the growth over the next couple days and see if it’s still colonizing or has stalled How long has it been colonizing exactly? Did you shake the jars at all? I’m still pretty new to this so don’t take my word for it

Thx. Will add more phoos.
This has been about 3 weeks. So, incredibly long considering the normal reports that I've read.

Yeah if you shake it up it’ll either finish up quick and be good to go or not if it’s contaminated.

Looks pretty good to me though.
