Mad Season Grow Bags (pic) update

I have a couple mad season growbags that I knocked up with z strain 18 days ago. They are about 50% colonized I'm wondering if I should shake them or just leave them alone?

Is Z strain not good in bags?

IME, they suck in bags.
I had four strains going at once. Koh Samui and Alacabenzi both gave me several epic flushes but Z Strain and Brazilian both gave me pathetic flushes.

I was wondering, could a contaminant creep through the air patch of a grow bag?

The tyvek filter patch on bags are designed to allow filtered gas exchange while the micron size is small enough to trap contaminants. RR

9 days after shaking the bags they seem to be just about 100% colonized. The tops seem to be really rhizomorphic compared to the rest of the bag but its hard to see through with all the condensation. Its been a total of 28 days so far do you think they are close to pinning?

Should I let them fruit in the bag or is it better to dunk them and put them in a terrarium with perlite like the pf tek?

Does "shaking the bag" literally mean shake the bag. Or does it mean use your hands to gently break up the big white chunk of myc and spread it evenly through the bag?

After you guys knock up the bags, how do you have them sitting in the dark? What I mean is do you place them in the dark with the top of the bag extended up to allow gas exchange or does it matter?

the strain is important when fruiting in bag some do great with flush after flush and some just need more space. and there is plenty of air that is why there is the patch at the top. for putting in fc it is by choice, i fruit in bag first time to get sterile caps for printing and then dunk and case or put in fc the way it is

I know its a little after the fact, but I always let mine fruit in the bag. I have done them in a fruiting chamber before to. I actually get a better yield, with most strains, in the bags. I dunk in between flushes and put it back in the bag. Never used a mad season bag though.

Its been four days since I put them in the fc. One of them seems to be doing great while the other still has no pins. Is the other one just slower or should I be worried about it?

Its okay man. It looks like its still forming pins. I've had cakes/cased substrates take up to 9 days to pin good.

that's not to bad but i did expect more. I'm still waiting on mine to finish colonizing and I'm leaving it in the bag to see if any different

I think you get a better yield dunking it before the first flush because it rehydrates the substrate but let me know how yours turns out.

What are the best conditions for fruiting in the bag? Temperature, hours of light?

I should have dunked my bag of black poplar, never making that mistake again...
its been almost 2 weeks in the FC, no pins, JUST starting to get some hyphal knots.
it really needed some water.
