Hello, Newbie here first grow 2 tubs look contaminated. Pretty sure this are a no go, but want confirmation before throwing them out. Thanks for your help.
Tidal Wave2
Grain popcorn Substrate:
65g Coco coir 350g Vermiculite 50g Gybsum 50g Calcium Hydroxide .5 Qt Water
Pasteurized in a Bucket. Forgot to mix before putting on the tubs as a result Tub # 1 had too much water and tub # 2 less water.

Tub #1 fully colonized lots of Mycilium piss as you can see no sign of pins at 2 weeks fruiting using micropore tape and lid without the lock.
Tub #2 never fully colonized

Yipes! Calcium hydroxide is only needed with peat casings. Got anything brewing behind these?

Tub 1 and 2 don't look good at all. 3 and 4 look far more promising. Bad pics but those agar plates don't look too great. Can you get some individual close ups of each plate? Try experimenting with different angles for lighting so we can see the plates as clearly as possible although from here, it looks like you've got some cleaning to do. Any pics of the jars you used to spawn these tubs?

i would toss tub 1, keep an eye on tub 2, and wait around for 3 and 4
you definitely need to do some transfers before putting agar to grain

Jars all bacterial and those two bottom agar plates likely got some riding along. Those other ones look better IMO.

Thank you all, i will throw away tub 1 and 2. Will wait for 3 and 4 and hopefully they will be ok. So much work and waiting in vein. But expected for first grow, from now on only transfers from agar to grain for my spawn.
Thanks to all for your help
