i posted these pics in the contamination forum already and havent gotten any responses yet and really want to know if i should toss this jar out. i just noticed these black spots today and the one jar that is colonizing the fastest.

Did you add coffee to the mix? Sometimes that can migrate to the wall and look like contamination.

i have about 9 other jars that are just about as colonized as this one just with no black spots... they colonize fast if everything is optimal.

What you need to do is not worry about it. Keep that jar isolated from the rest so that there is no chance (if indeed it is a contam) that it will spread to any of the others. Check the jar once a day and if the spot is getting bigger, immediately throw it out. If the spot does not grow anymore over a course of say 3-5 days then I would keep it, but still isolated from the rest just in case it is a contam. Wait until you birth the cakes and save that one for last. After all the other cakes have been birthed, birth that one and first do the smell test. If it smells straight up like mushrooms then the jar is safe If not then it's prolly a contam But you'll most likely find out if it's a contam by the time you get that far anyway... Goodluck

that sounds like a good idea, im fearing for the worst though... i just hope the other ones dont get infected.
is that really common even through the top verm layer and micropore tape???

toss it, set it aside, and see what happens, do what you want!
impressive colonization speed tho!

It does seem awfully fast, lc or spore innoc?
Like HH said, isolate and watch. Sometimes the verm gets pushed up against the jar and can make it look weird. If it is black mold don't open it!
