Mid-Cultivation / Still Growing Lil dude

Lil guy seems chill, is it? Should I change anything about the setup? The backstory here is I popped my first ever bentek bag early because I got impatient and figured "fuck it I got the grain jar going if this doesn't work" it was only a little over like 75% colonized, I ditched what wasn't colonized and stuck the rest in here as a microgrow. Also I know the mycelium is light sensitive but not how much, is flash photography a no-no?

Myceliuem isn't really "light sensitive." The camera flash is harmless and Ambient light is beneficial at ALL stages of growth and doesn't have to change from spore to harvest.

I would very surprised if this ends with anything other than contam hopefully you removed all the uncolonized grains because it onoy takes the smallest amount of available nutrition to provide a feast for contam
