Looks the same as the day I got them. I know it's a bad pic but I cannot seem to take good ones of mycobags because of the humidity, condenstation and thick plastic. I had a little myc growth, and a little bit of good smell then everything just stopped. Mashing the bag did not help. I shot both bags with 3.5cc. The sponsor recommendation was 2.5cc to 5cc per bag.

The first thing I ever started out with was those bags. They eventually did colonize but it took like 1.5 months then the fruited before full colonization. I opened one bag and did an open air transfer of myc to the other bag which miraculously didn't result in a contamination. Either way yes it gave me some shrooms but for the money and shipping and time and hassle I could have made 4-5x that amount in the same time for less money.

I opened a nearly fully colonized one to use it as spawn for one that wouldnt grow even after being injected twice with the same syringe that made the first bag grow. The same syringe also made all of my PF cakes when I figured out how dumb the premade mycobags were. The one that nearly got to 100% was shook at 20/30% colonization but even after the second flush it wasn't completely colonized for some reason.

even after putting a chunk of good myc into that second bag it still took way more than two weeks to colonize and fruit. I can get a whole grain jar to colnize in less than two weeks. To top that a single 1 quart each spawn/coir tray in a SGFC out preforms all three bags I had.

I know what I should have done but the bags hardly work consistently. Out of the three that I had not one of them acted like the other ones.

I never had a problem with those bags :shrug:



Inoculate, throw in a closet for about a month, check for full colonization and fruit when ready. I think since bags are usually used by first time growers that things get fucked up because the bags are constantly picked up and prodded every 2 seconds while checking for growth. Otherwise bad spores or really low spore counts in the syringes. Patience definitely pays with bags. If you need to be "hands on" or are impatient I would definitely go with the PF tek or even trying out grains.

This.

Same experience.  Took my bag about 6 weeks to colonize.  Managed to do a lot of PF Tek before I even got pins.
