mycobag with golden teacher strain question

Hello everyone,im new to the community but have been reading trip reports and mushroom related info for a long time,where it is so hard to find mushrooms where i live,i decided to take a shot at growing my own.I purchased a grain based myco bag and a spore syringe of the golden teacher strain.I inoculated the myco bag with 10cc (the whole syringe) of solution.I know that was probably way too much (i inoculated about 2 almost 3 months ago) mycellium has completely colonized the bag,and i seen a few little sprouts starting,but since then i havent seen any growth at all in the past 2 weeks.I know it is not contaminated (checked very thouroughly) they are in a 75 degree enviroment and i have no idea why i havent seen any growth in the past 2-3 weeks.Did i put so much solution in the substrate that it would stunt theyre growth? I know this is kind of a newbie question but i love mushrooms,and I would really like to know if anyone knows whats going on so I can understand it better and if due to some error on my part they dont come to fruition,I would like to know what I can do better next time.Thank you and i greatly appreciate anyfeedback I get from you. Peace

its not too much inoculate, if they halted its either environmental stress/shock or lack of nutrients.

Hey and welcome. It definitely sounds like you over saturated your bag w/ too much spore solution. If you want my advice: Pick up a a set of quart jars, make yourself some filter lids, and buy 10+LBS. of wild bird seed, then go to town. Read the various birdseed teks and get them down pat, and you'll have an endless supply of spawn for yourself. I've worked with bags and really don't care for them at all, jars is where it's at IMO.
Just ask if you have any questions...

Thanks for the response guys,I really hope this bag does colonize,like i said its my first try,ive always thought they would fruit within 3 months but oh well,Ill just wait and see what happens.And thanks for the bird seed idea,i will definately check that out.Im really interested in growing my own and being able to pick what strain i get.Im definately going to be a bulk cultivator after i get the basics down .And ill keep an eye on the enviroment mickey,thanks for the tip.If they dont grow its all good,as long as i find out why so i can get a good flush next time. Happy shrooming and if anyone else has any more ideas,please let me know so i can understand better

On another note: Just go straight to bulk, it's worth the effort. Get the grains down, and learn to spawn them to horse poo, etc. You can also fruit the grains by themselves and move up to poo at a later time.

And according to several vendor review threads on another OMC, it will be the better part of a month before you see this 6lb bag.

havent had one problem with contamination with ET,(lol you probably caused it yourself, bro)
and yes, they do take a while to ship a FRESHLY PREPARED and warranted 6lb bulk substrate bag made in a 0.0 contamination chamber with NO EFFORT on the customer's part to make it...kinda nice for people starting out with practically NOTHING, amirite?

I dunno what your situation is but $100 to me is at least 10 hours of effort at my JOB. compare that to ~$10 for materials and lets say 1-3 hours of "work" filling jars with sub and innoculating.
I would def go with pf tek witch is perfect for someone starting out with practically nothing.

never used earths tongue and with thier rep and that silly black syringe thing i doubt i ever will.
12 pf jars-about $10 bag of brown rice $3 bag of verm-$5 distilled h2o .85 cents lets say you have to buy everything- coffee grinder -$15 stock pot-i bought a pack of 3 different sizes for $20 OR small pc-$40 roll of tape, lets say $5 and of course, spore syringe-$20
so-$73.85 if you go w/ a stockpot, $93.85 if you go w/ a pc. plus you gain the knowlege you need to do it all again.
