First time agar to grain

Just wanting to get some opinions. This is my first time working with agar, I've been mostly focusing on working with the spore print from some monstrous golden teacher fruits I was gifted (the clones didn't work out). I did one transfer from the original plate to try and cut down on some of the tomentose growth, I want that rope rhizomorphic growth.
But anyways I'll provide some pics of a couple jars in question, they are currently sitting at 5 days old and I have pics of before and after a shake up I did literally minutes ago. On these in particular I cut the chunk of agar into smaller pieces and gave a good shake at the start. This is all new to me and to see a jar look like this after 5 days is a little mind blowing so im worried it may be something else, although maybe I'm just a little paranoid about having to open the jars after PC to introduce the agar, currently i dont have a flow hood or still air box made although based on my results with my plates my house is relatively clean. I'm not sure I just want to make sure I don't make a mistake on these so im asking for any and all opinions. Thank you!

Wait, you're doing agar work and inoculating grain jars without a flow hood or SAB?

A SAB consists of a plastic tote from walmart with some holes cut in it. Do what ya want but I don't know why you would waste all that time and effort playing the luck game when you could just make a SAB for $10 and 10 minutes of your time.
Those jars look pretty ok so far though, maybe you'll get lucky!

You know if these jars go to the garbage then ill probably change my methods and learn a lesson but this is just a hobby man. I can pull out every stop in the book and end up with contam or no contam or I can do this the way I do and still end up with a contam or no contam. Its all a luck game no matter what you do, in my eyes at least.

Surely you'd want to minimize the "bad luck"? And bad luck in this hobby can waste weeks/months... But you do you

I’ve been stressing hard because I think I left my plates exposed a couple seconds too long in the SAB when doing a recent a2g. Idk if this thread makes me feel better or worse lol
