best way to kncok up a spawn bag,

I couldn't find a good answer for this. whats the best way to knock up a spawn bag? mines pre made through a vendor here, but the injection point is a good 2 inches from the grain. do I just let it drip onto the grain? try to get the needle in the grain? I know this is simple, but I also know it can have a great deal on growth time if I do it wrong.

I don't know I've never worked with a spawn bag but can ya move the injection spot around so it is right over the grains?

Just do it like you would a jar, you want the spore solution to hit a wall and drip/slide down the side. It really shouldn't matter, but this way you can see the growth so you know when to break it up. Depending how much you're injecting, if doing a whole 10cc, I'd do 3 or 4 points on the wall.

I have used mycobags and spawn bags quite a few times, they are very hard to screw up as long as you pull the bag an inch or two away from the sinsteate amd heat needle then alcohol wipe the injection port and squirt on top of the sustrate or against the rear bag wall. Also works alot better if you break the bags contents up prior to innocing.
The great thing about bags is you can mash em when 25% colonized and it makes the mycelium spread like wild fire.. ove had bags fully colonized in as little as 9 days from innocing in the past..

I would advise against putting 10ccs into a spawn bag..many times pre sterilized bags i have ordered have had too much moisture as it is. Ive made 5 pound mycobags in the past and still had great success with 3cc or so

10CC is way overkill. Waist of syringe.

I don't know how prebaught spawn bags come, but I make mine on the dry side and inject 10cc of LC, then shake. Last bag I did was fully colonized in about a week.

LC is different than spore solution. You can use the 10CC of LC just fine but 10CC of spores is overkill and adding a lot of water. I don't suggest using a LC at all ever though but that's another thread.

Yeah 3cc for a one pound bag should be ok, but you can def get away with using less. I break up the substrate and try to spray the multispore solution around the best i can.

i'm going to be doing a monotub and will be adding theses 1 pound bags to other 1 pound 50/50 bags, so I thought using a good bit of spores in each bag would give a good colonization time through the whole grow. I have a thread of my grow, its dead right now but soon as my spores get here it's back up.
