LC Questions

First off, sorry for asking so many questions 
1)Since I don't have a PC, would I be better off to use Karo rather than honey in making a LC?
2) I have a LC with honey going right now. I steamed for 30 mins, and there's definitely growth in the jar. How can I tell if the growth is myc or contams? The liquid is not cloudy, but theres a lot of individual particles at the bottom that swirl up when i swirl the jar around (is this myc? i thought myc would all be connected but maybe not in a LC? )
Thanks!

You don't need a PC for an LC. The myc should look similar to this:

The stuff at the bottom of your jar may be sediment from the honey. As long as the water itself isn't hazey looking, you should be OK.

doh mine looks nothing like that. yeah it could just be sediment. theres also like a 1mm diameter white sphere in there, it looks kind of fuzzy. i would say its a contam but since it looks kind of fuzzy i dont know what to think. i'll just let it grow for another week and see how it does.
in the meantime, i bought another case of pint jars today, time to do some innocs! 
edit: After looking more closely at my jar in the light. I think my "sediment" is just really tiny things like what you're showing. Because they don't look uniform and they seem to have tiny "hairs" coming off of them. I would take a picture, but they're so small I doubt you could see anything.
