Bulk Spawn bag

I have recently just ordered a 2LB wild birdseed spawn bag off of mycopath to start my bulk. Any word on how these actually hold up, contam wise? And do they actually work? I spent just over $30 so I wouldnt be too dissapointed if it doesn't work out.

IME i's hit or miss when buying pre-sterilized spawn bags from vendors. I did it when I first got started and also tried making my own spawn bags as a noob. The 10 bags I made myself colonized in 10-14 days. The 6 bags I ordered showed no signs of mycelium after 2 weeks except for 1 of them which had a golf ball sized patch or mycelium, and when I shook it up it never grew back.
Bottom line- if you've already purchased the bags then give it a shot. But in the future it's not only cheaper to make your own, but like they say.. If you want the job done right you gotta do it yourself. There's no way to be fully assured that it's reliable besides doing it yourself

I've had pre-sterilized rye berries before. Nothing would grow in them, they were to dry by the time they got to me. I will never use pre-sterilized product. If you do it yourself, you only have yourself to blame.

I always had great luck with pre-sterilized rye berry bags. Always got mine from OG. How far the bags were shipped from, the time of year (summer), and how long they sat in the back of the truck if it was summer might be the reason they were dried up (although they're obviously supposed to be dry on the outside so I assume you mean dry all the way through?)
pre-sterilized can be a good way to start but I have since started making my own and never looked back.

I have been doing the PF Tek Dunk and roll method for about 7 months with outstanding flushes. Not one bit dissapointed in that. I just wanted to try something different. Like I said i wont be too let down if it doesnt work because I have the PF tek by the balls so its all dandy for me.
