How are my LC jars looking? (pics)

I began my first grow EVER recently, and am using this BRF Tek: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18381574
I made 10 LC jars made of water and 4% honey, and injected each jar with 1cc of treasure coast spores about 1 1/2 weeks ago
Since I am a beginner I'm not sure exactly what to look for in a LC jars, so I've attached close up pictures of each jar and I would very much appreciate any feedback for how the mycelium is looking so far!

3rd to last looks exactly what your looking for a couple those look cloudy, best check is straight to agar here’s some of mine that test out on agar and grain. What’s your broth of choice? I’m currently having a lot of success with 1g of LME to 500-600ml of water.

all my jars are honey and water and i’m planning on injecting them into brf cakes once they’re ready. Which jars look cloudy to you? also in your experience, how long does it take for the lc jars to be ready to inject, and how do you know they’re ready?

4th from bottom and last one would be the of most concern. I just used a whole agar plate cut into pizza slices and had a jar colonize in 3 days but I’ve heard it taking up to 14 days it helps if you can stir them every now and then. Magnetic stirrer would be best for constant stirring. Best way tell see a cloud of mycelium floating in center of jar you don’t want to have things clinging to sides or just cloudy mixture. Not matter what once you get some growth going test on agar can’t stress it enough, fuck prepping grain to have it flunk due to improper LC. By the way how are you inoculating?

Honey tends to get the gritty looking fall out at the bottom. I'd leave them to sit for another week or so, you're looking for little globs of stuff to float in the mixture when agitated. The gritty stuff should mix in when agitated. Once you see globs floating, suck some up with a syringe and throw it on agar, or into a grain jar if you don't have agar. Keep things clean and sterile.

Spores to lc is super high risk.
These are made with lme, I’m not sure what honey should look like but in these pictures the cloudy one is bad.

You normally want nice clear water with myc floating in it.

thank you for clarifying, i’ll make sure to keep watch on the cloudy ones. oh and i’m planning on taking an empty sterilized syringe and sucking up some mycelium and injecting it evenly into four holes of my sterilized brf jars

thank you for the feedback! all the gritty stuff in my jars does float once i agitate the water, so i’m going try just leaving it for a week. Would you suggest mixing throughout that week or just let it sit and check in it every so often?

I can't tell much from your pics. Give it some time and swirl often. My LCs look like this.

how long did it take your jars to reach that point?

Are you using a magnetic stirrer? If so, when do you start and for how long and at how often? Speeds? That stuff is thick.

Yes, stirrer for the win. I generally just throw them right on and keep them stirring. Those jars are roughly two weeks old (I think). I don't really to on time though. Just used them when they're ready.
