Is my 1st LC go a bust?

So I bought an already to go LC kit nocked it up with some GT spores on the 17th and I think maybe I caught a contamination or perhaps it’s supposed to look like this, maybe someone with a better eye can tell. When I gave it a little stir it looks like 3 little cotton balls rolling around

Looks about right to me, can't know for sure what you have in there without testing on agar. Wouldn't recommend spores to anything else than agar in general besides maybe PF tek.

I wouldn't say that it can't be done with spores, it can be and has been done in the past plenty but your odds decrease in it being clean the more spores you inject and obviously depending on how clean the spores were collected.
I'm old people used to do it all the time with decent results but it's not recommended these days.
You could test it on a small pf jar or something if you don't have agar but beware any time that you stick a needle into the jar you risk contamination if done incorrectly.
It looks nice and clean to be but you always have to test.
Get some extra syringes and needles to save the LC in without reinserting a used syringe and best practice is usually to first inject a new LC jar before anything else to continue your LC in case your first jar has any issues later.
-------------------- Quote from Stipe-n-Cap "You appear to be talking about boosting tryptamine content in mycelium by amending LC with....whatever your amendments are. I have to say I'm a tad disappointed that you're addressing us with the shorthand of a 13 yo girl who's texting her besty for make-up tips, instead of proper English, which causes me to have doubts."

Oh I wasn’t aware things are done differently now, it’s been over 13 years since I last messed around with mycology and kinda just bought stuff and went at it. I got some BRF jars and since have plenty of new syringes my plan was to use LC. Guess I’ll have to learn what agar is and if I see if I screwed the pooch on my LC

So it’s been 9 days since inoculation of my LC I seems to have grown a bunch since first pic posted I’ll be sure to take a pic when I can and post it, I was wondering should I keep giving the jar a stir every couple days and how long should I let it grow before using/store in the fridge

Is this ready to use or do I have to wait still? If it is ready can I use it and still leave it out growing longer?

It's ready to TEST on agar. It will continue to grow in lc, you have a lot of room in the jar still.
