Subtle blueish green spot in jars? Possible contaminated workspace :/

So I currently have a tub that is colonizing its substrate with spawn that also showed the signs that this jar is showing:

This is that tub about 7 days in:

Definitely some questionable spots, (pretty sure the black spot is liner) but upon getting a positive second opinion here, decided to just roll with it and birth. I hate to sound like a broken record but I figured uploading the pics to shroomery would produce nicer quality pics. Could my jar space be contaminated? the blueish green makes me think of trich but its almost as if I turn the jar a little it fades to just blue and could be bruising instead? Any experienced opinions would be appreciated, thanks for any help in advance

That blue in the jar is bruising, doesn't look like trich (yet) -- trich has a much more snowy-white mycelium, and opaque forest-green spores. I can't see any bluing in the tub.
The only source of bruising in a jar I can think of is temperature changes, or fighting something unseen. The uncolonised grains in the bottom right aren't a good sign.
A side note: How is your substrate that thin that the liner is poking up through it? Do you always make them that thin (or uneven)?

It’s like a peice of debris that must’ve fallen unnoticed when I cut the liner to size. I will admit I set this tub up semi drunk after a night out with coworkers. I was responsible enough to shower before handling the coir/Verm.
I do think it’s taking abnormally long to colonize completely. This was a g2g batch in a SAB performed on 7/23. They’ve been shaken only once

I did however increase my thermostats temp which gives a slight sense of hope

Well I guess you should stop the G2G and reset back from agar.
But as for the tub... I can't imagine anyone here will give an opinion different to "let it ride".
I don't think it's trich yet. You'll know when it's trich, it's terrifying and depressing and unmistakable.

For sure. If no other problems emerge I’ll drop a grain onto agar and do a few transfers before putting it to grain. Thanks for your help man, hoping I’m in the clear.
