Clean Spawn? Ready? Please Chime In

I shook 12 jars 6 days ago around 80-90% when colonization was slow. I was unsure if my cooler temps (64-68 degrees) or a bacterial contam was to blame. Since shaking all 12 jars seem to have recovered and I don't see any colored metabolites and my Oats don't look wet at all. I followed bods oat Tek and allowed the grain to dry for 10-16 hours prior to sterilization. Do these jars look ready to spawn to 100% coir?

Thanks Bod! I have been reading your teks and memorizing your advise from other users posts for years now. You are a mycology God. Does anything in these jars pictured give you any hints at bacterial contamination or should I be safe for G2G?

Thank you for your input! I guess I got some work to do today between grain and coir prep.

In pic one I see two black marks. Are they on the outside or inside of the jar?

Those are on the inside of the jar. I don't know what they are for sure but I believe it is a hull or shell of some sort. Either the oat itself or some sort of other grain or Hull or whatever that ended up in the bag before I purchased it. They float after hydration process and I try to get them all out but I guess I didn't get em all. They are black pre sterilization

Wouldn't that be a concern if its clearly on the inside of the jar? I'm not trying to sound like a smart ass or anything but it seems Quote:

Okay. I thought it was on the inside and that is what concerned me. If its pre sterilized than its good to go. But it was worth questioning just to be safe. Btw, those jars look great.

I think its just darker grains or some of the shit mixed in with bags of oats. It doesn't look like a contamination growing to me.

Yes, definitely would be concerning if it wasn't black before going into the jars. I appreciate your input and willingness to help

Usually the mycelium looks funny around a contaminant as well
