Newbie golden teacher grow

So I am new to the cultivation aspect of shrooming, and am i need of some advice. My situation is that i ordered 4 2 lb rye spawn bags,2 lb casing and 10 lbs of substrate kit; i also have golden teacher as well as some gulf coast. i wanted to use the bags for my first grow, so i can get the hang of this all. Ok now these are my current issues/ questions. I innoc. my first two bags about 3 weeks ago. 1 week in i had mold in one bag and threw it out. a few days later i innoc. my second set of bags. the first bag is about 90% colonized in 3 weeks,and the other two have spots about the size of your thumbnail at one week. i would like to put the 10 lbs of substrate in a tote with the three bags(instead of the 4 it called for). How long can my bag stay colonized before i move it to the sub? What are some factors to help me speed the collonization along, because most people on here are getting 100% in the time its been taking my bags to be at 50% or below. Will the 3 2 lb bags of rye berries be a sufficent ratio to the 10 lbs of substrate i have? Or should i just put the one bag thats already at 90% in the 2.5lb of substrate that it calls for and do the same for the 2 bags that arent ready yet? Will it hurt it if i put the fully colonized 2 lb bag into the 5 lbs sub. it came with, even though its meant for 2 bags? Any help would be muchly appreciated!

6lbs of spawn to 10lbs of sub will be fine it wont hurt the bag that's colonized to wait for the other two to catch up but you should've noc'd em all at the same time if you planned on using them together good luck and we lcome to the shroomery

Why re-order the same kit that didn't work, when you could be saving money and prepping the rye grains yourself?
I have to admit, I bought into the whole "grow kit easy step-by-step crap", but after multiple failures, I got fed up wasting all this money and that's when I made my shroomery account and started reading and reading till I felt comfortable enough to get started.

It wasn't the bags. When I had the needle in the port I accidentally broke it off in the bag. I bought the pre made bags to familiarize myself with the process before I jump into all the "moving parts" of it. I'll get there.

Damn that sucks dude. I personally never worked with grain bags before, I find jars easier to work with.
