Alright, I have had two spawn bags colonizing for the past six weeks, they are three pound rye bags. I mixed them up on the 25th, today almost a week later there is no growth.
the bags were about 20-30% colonized when i shook them
any idea whey they are taking so long to recover
also they had been colonizing slowly to begin with, almost six weeks and only 20%

Sounds like bacteria to me too, but no matter what it is, it's not worth using.

Take a good sniff around the filter patch and it should be easy enough to tell weather bacteria are causing your problem. Any sweet rotten apple type smells pretty much mean that bacteria have managed to overgrow your bags. How long where they PC'd for and what temp you incubating at?

I bought them pre-sterilized before i got my pressure cooker
and they have been at room temp around 72 degrees
EDIT the product description states they were pcd at 15psi for 120 min

The place i ordered from guaranties their bags are 100% sterile so does that mean they should replaced these bags since they went bad?

The bacteria could have cam when you did the g2g or knocked up your jars to begin with... practice your sterile technique and try again :-)
Also, since you have a PC, don't buy anymore pre-made jars or bags... WAY more expensive than needed!

yeah, no more pre sterilized bs. bought them before i decided to buy a pc
is it possible that the bags were prepared too wet? isnt that a major cause of bact?
I practiced pretty strict sterile technique, but there is always room for improvement
