Enough colonization in grow bag to mash up yet?

Hey guys!,
So I have 4 grow bags going at the moment and unfortunately only 1 has colonization signs so far (been 2 weeks since inoculation). I have the picture below of the 1 bag that has colonization. My research on these says that once you have ~30-40% colonization, you should massage the bag and spread the myc around to help the entire bag colonize. Based on the picture below...am I ready for this step?
Thank you for the help, everyone!

I would say go for it but I'm not a trust cultivator so you may want to wait and hear from one

Thank you for the reply! That's reassuring at least...I'll see if anyone can offer some more insight as well.
Thanks again!

I would wait a few more days but it's just a matter of opinion

Thanks for the advice! I'll see what the growth rate looks like after 2 more days and then massage the bags and distribute the myc around.
Much appreciated everyone!

I think most cmon advice is to mash at 40%, and i dont think yoir is there. I recently mashed 6 bags,but not until the growth slowed down, they were at about 60-70% each. Worked out great, but it took a long time for them to colonize.

Hey All,
Wanted to follow up with everyone who commented or happens to stumble upon this post. I ended up massaging/mashing up the bag 2 days after my original post. I'd say the bag was around 30% colonized. I spread the mycelium around the entire bag and 3 days later it seems to be recovering fast.
Definitely happy I did it and still crossing my fingers for full colonization and some tasty shrooms!
Thanks again for all the help, everyone!
