Mycobag Expansion Question
    #12768697 -

this may be a stupid question, but I am alittle confused still after researching these bags for days. I think I got everything down, I bought 5 bags from themadseason.com for my first grow attempt and so far after about a week and a half their is strong mycellium growth in all the bags.

The only thing i'm alittle confused about is there doesn't seem to be any room in there for mushies to even grow, will the bag expand with CO2 as it goes along? it looks like all the air has been sucked out of it, should i try to pull out the sides and make room for fruits to grow? When I got the bags they looked like the air had been vacuumed out so i'm not sure if they will expand by themselves or if I need to pull them out manually to make room for mushies to fruit. does anyone have a suggestion or answer for me? thanks in advance guys :o)

You don't need to give them an airspace until you're fully colonized - preferably not until 5-7 days after that. You can give it an airspace to grow in the bag manually but you'd get much better results using a real fruiting chamber.

Pre-made bags that are compacted and sealed should be broken up and expanded to blow them up with air through the filter patch. You can still help gas exchange and growth by gently pulling the bag apart and leaving the top standing up. You can even hang it. At about 30% colonization you will want to break up the existing mycelium and spread it around in the uncolonized grain evenly. From there the rest of the colonization should be rapid.

Fruiting can be done in the bags, but you'll get better results placing them in a humidified fruiting chamber. Spawning them first to at least an equal volume of bulk substrate would be best.

Changing your mind is one of the best ways of finding out whether or not you still have one.

I've been using bags for a while now ditching the whole tub idea, too messy and time consuming for me.  You can open the bags after it's fully colonized without fear and hold it shut with a paperclip.
