Oat jars ready for spawn?

First agar to whole oats attempt, I was thinking I'd try the SFF shoebox tek with these four quart jars; They're not quite as thick white in some of the pictures in the "What it should look like" thread, but they've been getting progressively thicker each day. I also tried a G2G with a jar that was similar to these (probably too early), and those seem like they're coming in well.
Should I leave these to consolidate further or go ahead and try to spawn? Thanks!

I'd give them some more time bud.

The wet look and grains pressed against the glass make me wanna say they are bacterial. Not sure how much more colonized they are going to appear from this point
An example from Eat on what a healthy jar looks like for comparison:

Pic #4 especially, looks a bit suspicious to me. But no reason not to try 'em anyway.

especially if you are spawning them separately to a shoebox or something

Good eye; I actually just noticed today the presence of white dots in that specific jar that appear to be yeast, unfortunately. I guess I'll give them a bit more time like others have said, and then try to spawn them separately to shoeboxes.

Damn. So if I don't notice any significant progress in a few days-week I should go ahead and try to spawn? Or would that mean they're a lost cause?

Here's some pictures of that specific jar with the suspected yeast. Odd because the white dots only appeared in the last couple of days or so
None of the other jars seem to be showing it, so I guess that's good at least

Yeah it's definitely got some crap in there. But I've see worse jars work fine!
You'll learn to notice it's not just the white dots, but the smashed up against the glass grains/ wet look (sometimes off color, sometimes not) that indicates contamination (bacterial in those cases).
