Is that trich or something else?

IDK, Derrayld always says triched out tubs won't affect healthy tubs.  I tend to be more paranoid.  I'm also not sure if contams other than trich are more risky for your other tubs.

I'd also recommend adding at least 30 minutes to your PC time - 90 minutes for quart jars is borderline and "more is more" when it comes to sterilization.

Millet (usually the primary component in WBS) can usually be loaded a bit damp and it will absorb the extra water. Especially if you don't boil, you'll want them a bit damp IMO.

But ensuring still air is probably going to be your biggest help - hopefully that's easier in the non-summer months.

You’re in decent shape. Some slight yellowing where the sub meets the bags.

Sometimes I use a clean paper towel to dab off areas that accumulate “puddles” of water. You’ve got a small outer moat forming

I'd call it ALMOST too wet.  It's probably fine as it is, or you could try to give it just a touch more fae.

C02 is heavier than Oxygen; undisturbed will layer at surface level.
A shoebox is shallow and a monotub is deep.
Mycelium produces heat; hot air rises (like in a hot air ballon) and exits through the top holes, creating a vacuum effect,  forcing fresh air in through the surface holes disturbing and replacing the C02 layer.

Looking for opinions.   

Top# 3-5 beginner friendly  Cube varieties to work with? 

Im nEw to the hoobby and I don't wanna jump into anything that's obviously outta my league.

I mean does it even work like that?
Are some harder to cultivate than others?  Speaking specifically about cubes. 

And I don't assume that just because somthing is easier, means  I'll be successful. I understand it's all relative. Especially  Considering how much of my actual success rate actually depends on my sterile technique.

Honestly, just get any of the classics like B+, Ecuadorian, Golden Teacher, etc. I'd say stay away from Penis Envy in the beginning because even though they're not any harder to cultivate, they take a lot longer to grow and if you're just starting out, you don't want to test your patience even more than your first grow already will.

Have fun!

Also, I can finally say the thing, yay!
"A cube is a cube."
