Slight sour smell from “all-in-one” bag

I’m on my first attempt at cultivating and today makes 15 days since inoculation. I got a little curious about the smell of my grow after reading that the appearance alone can’t be trusted when it comes to monitoring for contamination. I bought a 5lb “all-in-one” bag and things look good, but after sniffing the breathing port, I can’t help but notice a sour smell. I know there isn’t much you guys can tell me without smelling it yourself, and I also know that there’s nothing I can do about anything at this point, but I am hoping that there are some additional signs I can look for along the way.
 Not sure if I posted the pic correctly, but I would really appreciate any feedback. Thanks

Sour smell is idicitive of bacteria. I wouldn't throw it out just yet. If it's still colonizing let it do it's thing. Edit I don't think the antiperspirant will help the smell. Lmao jk bud

Lmao. It's a all in one. That there is substrate. Once the grains are colonized you mix it with the sub. I had to double take as well.

Lol. I know the all-in one bags aren’t optimal, and I’m collecting supplies to upgrade, but everything looks great at the moment. I really appreciate the input tho. I’m just trying to curb the excitement I’ve had since seeing that stuff colonizing. It’ll be fine in the closet while I wait and see. So as long as it continues to show mycelium growth without visible contamination I should stick with this bag?
