2nd Grow help

This is my second grow and I tried UB Tek, did not care for myself. One bag had mold so of course pitched it. The other 7 bags were okay but the mycelium was just not growing. Thtough it in my monotub with substrate and now have this.























There are some also under microscope.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Also started some on agar

Noob here. Hard for me to say, pictures are a little unclear, but there are some yellowing patches. But it looks early still. Let it ride and you'll know before long what's up.
No idea what to make of the microscope pictures

Parasitic mold. All over yo shit. Cool scope picz by the way.

Gotta train your eyes a bit. This is all mycelium, just really not the kind you're after. People would refer to this one as cobweb or something but I doubt that's exactly the kind. Definitely some shitty mold though.
The yellow bits are metabolites from cube myc trying to defend itself. It's not always indicative of bacteria, they release them when they're stressed.
The black round dots on the scope pics are most likely mold spores.

So on second thought, I'm gonna say parasitic mold all over your shit sorry, bro

Yeah, there's sadly not much to do with this one.

Its trash - nothing worth even attempting to save.
Start a new project and actually focus on creating clean spawn instead of blasting dirty syringes into unsterile rice bags.

That is what I was afraid of. Started some new one already. This time starting on agar to check for contamination 1st. The yellow definitely looks like metabolites or myc piss in person. There is no off odor at all. I do agree that it looks like cobweb. I have sprayed with hydrogen peroxide mix and kept them away from the main area I work in.
Thanks for your input. Trying to check under the microscope for contaminate.

Haha my thought too. Sprayed w hydrogen peroxide mix and kept away from my work space. Just inoculated some agar plates to start the next phase. There was no off odor at all so I had been hopeful. Also not spreading fast like I have read cobweb mold does. But, I am also agreeing that it is contaminated.
Thanks!!

The peroxide only sort of works when you want to give them a day or two to finish a flush. Salt paste does the same thing, perhaps a bit better. There's no getting a mold out of a substrate once it's there. For the most part it's pretty much a desperate/outdated "tek". Sometimes you can just cut off the infected part to the bottom and get away with it if it's very localized.
Molds tend to smell like substrate or eath or forest floor or something weird more than pure dog shit like bacs tend to.
Agar is definitely the way to go. Your tub for sure 100% won't fruit though.

Thanks for your help. My 1st go round was great with pf tek. I do have a completely sterile environment with a laminar flow hood etc... but thanks for the lovely response. I was toying tithe UB Tek but the bags were old. So I do believe that was the issue.

UB "tek" is the start of where everything went wrong
