Would you put this agar to grain?

I seem to have hit or miss colonization when I put my cultures to grain. I've been transferring a lot and I'm want to check myself. To me these 2 look good to put to grain. I don't see any contams. I imagine it could look better but it looks good to me.
I'm seeing 2-3 week colonization times wether its with corn or oats. I'm also not getting full colonization. I get enough to create a small shoe box with half ass flushes. Basically I'm getting approximately 20 gram dry flushes out of 1 shoe box. Its also taking 4-6 weeks or more to get to that point.
I'm thinking of putting these two to grain.


The last ones I put to grain that looked like that was on 8-27. This is what it looks like after 10 days. Stored in a closet. Temps get about 78 degrees during the day and 72 at night when I get home. Zero light.

Maybe let the first plate grow out a bit more. The clearly defined edges of the mycelium in the lower right side of plate 1 worry me a touch. Usually when I see mycelium encircle a patch of agar like that, it’s because the agar has some bacterial contam.
Second plate looks great, though.

Makes sense about the edges.

To colonize grains? Never heard of that.

I do grains in light or ambient light.
