How long for inoculation?

How long is TOO long for inoculation? First time grower here, so no clue. Have 2 sterilized grain bags going for about 12 days with various areas of colonization, but most of the grain still uncolonized. Thanks!

Pics will help! I use 1lb rye bags that take anywhere from 20-30 days to colonize, all depends on your conditions though.

also depends on how you inoculated it... did you use an LC? Syringe? Agar cuttings? What are the temps its sitting in? My first grow i let them sit by a window seal and I think the sunlight fried my spawn lol.

Well it looks a bit bacterial but you can still let it ride. Just stop handing the bags - let them sit until about 30% of visible grains are colonized, then shake.
12 days isn’t much, esp since you used an MS syringe. In the future, if you have to go MS>grain, inoculate pint jars. Then transfer colonized grains into bags.

Was traveling for a few days so I upped the apartment temp to 74(can't keep it above 68 because the Newfie gets warm). Some solid progress was made, though Im not sure if the dark spots are okay/normal. Would it be good to shake now?

If you click on 'Pics' up top, below your username, you'll find the place to upload pics. You can then paste the code and get thumbnails (while also ensuring that pics remain viewable in the future).

While it's obviously not a science just looking at a photo, how close am I to being able to move this to my tub?

If it's 100% colonized then now

Agree, I would start casing that ASAP... personally I prefer lots of coco coir in the tubs after breaking up those grains.

It was about 50% vermiculite 50% grain bags. Is that not enough?
