 Awesome Mycobag Results?

Hey guys, as some of you may know, Im currently growing some MadSeason bags w/ some Sporeworks syringes.. Now I did tons of reading on this site, for research, and to get an idea of how much time to expect it to take.. And it seemed like most of the people waited a long time to get results - sometimes people waiting a month or more!
Well I followed the procedure to a tee, and did as best as I knew how to - but I was still 2nd-guessing myself.. That was until I woke up the 3rd after - and saw the 1st signs of growth.. Well its now 6 days after inoculation, and the bags are doing GREAT! I'm not sure what percent they are - but I just cant believe how good they're doing..
Has anyone else gotten growth this quick in a Mycobag? And also to the other n00bs out there - this is the potential MadSeason bags have, with just plain Multispore solution.. So if you're waiting nearly a month to see anything, youve gotta be doing something wrong..
Day 6

... Keep it in this thread from now on. I'm interested to see what you do with this. I've been thinking of getting a similar bag and spawning it to bulk sub.

Will do - I'll keep updated w/ pics.. This seems like a really fast colonization going on, and I can't see why I wouldn't be fully colonized in another 2 wks, tops.. I'd really love to have fruits by the end of the month, so that's my goal I'm shooting for.

awesome man, did you inject the spores right on the edge of the bag or in the middle of the sub?

Right in between the sub and plastic, as far left as I could go, and as far right - I actually saw the liquid coming out of the needle, just to get an idea.. This is the proper way to inject a bag, and will be the fastest way to see results.. I've heard nothing but bad things w/ injecting into the middle..
Just think with jars - they get 4 injections right in between the sub and glass.. So with a bag, you want to use the same idea.. The worst thing you could do is 1 injection in the middle.. Multiple injection along the bag - and this what you can expect.

That thread was a huge help, along w/ the recommendation you gave me.. Another big help was when searching the site, Cervantes has given tons of tips on Mycobags.. Everything is going alot better than I thought it was gonna.

Thanks, and I'd recommend getting at least 2, just in case something goes wrong in 1, or you contam, etc.. I ordered the 5 pack and started with 2.. Now that they're doing great I'm noc'ing the other 3 tomorrow.. But I was just so unsure of what to expect, there was no way I was gonna have my eggs in one basket, lol.

Cervantes's posts were what I went off of when I was using grow bags for the first time. I would highly recommend anyone using grow bags to read up on his posts. He gave me a lot of good tips

How is your other one doing compared to this one? and what strain are you growing? (sorry if I didn't see it)

my mycobag died, lol, i think. madseason bag w cambodian spore from lilshopospores. colonized alright in a few weeks. put it in light 5 days ago and no pins yet but its been like crumbling apart. little crumbs of the mycellium have fallen off all over and also it split into like 3 chunks of mycelium. iguess its dying or something. probably because i handled it too much moviing it around n shit. oh well, now i know for next time...

The other bag doesn't have as much growth yet, but it's not far behind.. The faster grower is Amazonian, and the 2nd one is Ecuador.. It makes sense cuz the info I've read says Amazonian is a fast colonizer, but Ecuador is just average..

Sounds like your bag ended up drying out, Yonny - that sucsk.. What's the humidity like where the bag is, do you know?

u think i might still be able to salvage it if i inject the remaining 6cc of spore solution i have to kind of 'water' it? also the room is kinda dry but from now on i'm going to run the humidifier right at it

The #1 thing w/ them is after you inoculate them - DO NOT massage, mix, or touch them. I've seen so many threads of kids who do this, and get no growth for weeks. The one that really sticks out is a thread where the kid says he massaged it every day after inoc. thinking he was helping - but nothing grew obviously.. So at this point, he starts re-inoculating the bags and more massaging.. See, he thought he was helping, but he was ruining it for himself and ensuring failure..
When you get the bag, if the sub is compacted and tight, then you massage it a little BEFORE hand.. Then when you inoculate, try and do 2 injections on each side, and most importantly, don't inject in the middle! Keep it right in between the sub and plastic wall.. This is how jars injected, and it's how you'll see results RIGHT when they 1st happen.. I've even heard someone say that an injecting right in the middle of the sub is as good as gone.
The only other time you will ever massage the bag, is when it's 30-40% colonized.. You mix all the colonized parts up into the uncolonized parts.. The mycelium take a couple days to recover, but they do, they come back STRONG.. But this is the only time you're massaging the substrate - doing it in the days following inoculating is ENSURING failure.

It's tough to say.. If the substrate is FULLY colonized, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to dunk it overnight, then transfer back to the bag and tape it shut.
