Mycelium stopped spreading in spawn bags

I did my research and most of what I read was more airflow, I'm not sure how to do that with a spawn bag. I'm using a Rye bag. I have 2 bags going and one is almost finished but hasn't seen any growth in over a week. The other bag is taking only about 70%. I have made sure there is good airflow, I have made sure the filter patch isn't folded or stuck, and I have broken apart the mycelium and shaken the bags.
How can I get these bad boys finished up, its been months.

You can mix them up...most people do this to spawn when it is 30% colonized or so. Also, the bottom of the bag may be cold. All my bags, whether spawn or bulk are slow to colonize on the bottom as they sit on a cold bench. Those grains look a tad wet which could also be slowing things down...

Thanks, I'll break it up a little bit more and heat up some water for them to sit in

Don't do that...just flip the bag over.

It's not going to finish colonizing, it's bacterial

I agree its not going to finish do to bacterial boom is stopping myc grow. Good news spoon out the colonised grain to a bulk tray and fruit it. Leave the bacterial grain in the bag and throw it alway. Yeild might be the best but no use crying over the bad if you can save the good

 Looks like grains knocked up with a bacterial spore syringe. This is why spore syringe to grains is not recommended. Run your spores through some agar plates and get a clean culture to inoculate with.

LoL Bacterial Boom. I would not recomend spooning out the grains and using them. He stated the bag has been shaken many times. The bacteria isn't just on the bottom. It's most likely distributed all thru-out the bag at this point, it's just noticeable at the bottom.

 Hence the wet spot
Start over OP. This time take your spore syringe to agar. Or inoculate a grain jar and transfer a colonized grain jar onto agar.
