How to add injection ports to my growbag
    #26415046 - 01/03/20 07:38 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

So honestly I have never bought a grow bag that came with injection ports yet and was almost getting ready to buy some premade with ports already installed on them until I found someone selling packs of injection ports by the hundreds and after doing some math I realized I could save some funds. I've looked at some pictures online but can't seem to find any clear cut answers as to how they are installed. I am wondering if they are just taped on. Do I cut a hole into the bag and stick half the injection port through?

I know silicone in a caulk tube will work but my thing is that I have injection ports on the way and don't know how to use them lol. Just trying to go for a cleaner look. I'm super OCD about things like this, idk why...

The injection ports are not for bags they are for plastic and metal lids. Silicone will not work it will not stick to the bag well enough. There should be no need for an injection port anyway. A syringe in meant to go to agar 1st then agar to the bag. But if I was going to use a syringe straight to my grain. I would heat the needle to sterilize then squirt a drop to cool needle. Then poke the needle straight into the bag inject your desired amount of spores then tape over the hole that you made with the syringe with packing tape.

I've never used an injection port at all. I do spawn transfers but i do see them being used. Good advise on the injecting and taping. Now that you say that id recommend. Rtv will stick to the bag though. Ive used it to put tyvek filter patches on.

That black injection port is literally just a piece of rubberon inside of spawn bag only reason i know is cuz i got some premade bags and they forgot to put the port in one of my bags they did ship it outside the spawn bag at the bottom of the box. The bags that were done right had the rubber inside them. I knocked all 4 bags including the one without the port and put tape on the portless bag it colonized just fine.

All the injection ports I've seen on bags are these simple foam circles. Always sealed under a second layer of plastic, in the same form the filter patch is attached. Not sure if they are also glued under it in any way.
Are these the ones you ordered as well, or did you order the rubber cap type injection ports?

I've seen more people just using a needle to the bag and taping over it. Sometimes first placing a piece of packing tape to push the needle trough. Seems to work fine for them, would be even cheaper.

I ordered bags and ports seperate. The bags do have a filtered vent up top.


I'm really just going for looks guys. I'm aware I can just poke thru and tape over it but I'm really wanting to know how these vendors are adding injection ports to their bags. Like does anyone know?

Is there a way to melt them together? Like when you seal your bag? Idk. This is just complete speculation.

Since you are just going for looks. Seal your bag with a ribbon and you are done.
