If after a few days you don't see any contamination, you should be good to go. If you do see contamination, then check over your whole setup and methods to try to find out where it is coming from. Even with a professional setup and experience, contamination can be a problem and it would be good to make sure you are at least capable of having a truly sterile environment before trying to TC anything rare.
