Well i shot up 3 pounds of rye 10 days ago and today I noticed that all 3 bags had contamed with greasy smelly shit, I guess its wet spot.Anyways Im not sure were i went wrong probaly should have got jars instead, some1 told me not to shoot up bags should have listened.Im hoping out grow will replace the bags. Topia is awesome as always they r replacing the spores. I heated the syringe tiP and wiped with prep pads after each injection .Temps were around 75-78 always condinsation in the bags every morning I woke up. If any1 has any ideas about what I could have done differnt with same products pls chime in .Also strain was burma.Wich has always done well for me.The Spawn I got from Outgrow seemed very moist when it arrived grains were all broken and looked like they exploded not sure if thats important.

Yeah monkey thats what I think.10 Days is not really even enough to see growth of any kind unless it was present in the bags. I think i got a bad batch.Do you know anything about OutGrow? I know they r trusted sponsers.I hope they will replace it. Im waiting on an email.I doubt very seriously it was the spore vender Ive never had a prob with them been getting products on and off from them for 5 years now.

It sux when shit like this happens. Cause you have to start all over and wait for products lmao I sound impatient.I need to invest in a PC and get my own supplies some jars some brf and just do the damn thing and stop waisting money and prepare my own spawn and subs then and only then will I truly be pleased.

Nothing wrong with shooting up the grain bags,just swab the injection site with alcohol,make sure you flame your needle and have some tape handy so you can patch it quick.I use Tuck Tape but you can use any non porous tape assuming your bags have filter patches.
Use a cc or so,don't shoot too much spore solution in the bag,you don't want soaked grains again

Shoot a cc a close to the side of the bag against the grain that way you can see when/if it germinates,don;t shake the bag until about 25-30% colonized then knead it and distribute the colonized grains thoughout the bags as best you can and then wait untill 100% colonized
