ted does G2G

Hey, everyone! Had a few people asking and just wanted to share how I do g2g lately. Nothing too special and I don't have a go-pro or any fancy camera so the pics aren't the best but hopefully this helps.
This is 15 bags. As you can see the "master" spawn bag has been cut just below the filter and 7 bags have been opened and are ready to receive grain:
Now I was unable to take a pick of me holding the bag to pour but I basically just grab 1 of the top ends and clench it shut creating a "spout" on the other end. I place my other hand on the bottom and fondle it a bit to get the spawn to pour out evenly into the receiving bags.
Next, I seal the first round of bags that I noc'd. the first gets sealed diagonally like so:
And the rest are a bit easier. After the first round has been sealed, I place the master bag on the sealer like so and lineup the remaining bags:
And then open, pour, and seal:
... Ta-done!

Do you sanitise your sealer seeing its in front of your clean bags?

dont get me wrong, Ive done alot of bags in front of my 2'x18" hood and my 3'x3' RIP. you can stack em deeper with a hood thats got a dayton. my smaller hood has better flow than the 2X4' so I work up close to it(the 2x4. its wired for 270V tho and I had to modify it a bit to get it to run on 120 so I think theres a bit of power loss there

this is great! All lined up like that really looks like a time saver. Ill be trying to g2g with bags soon after seeing how you do it.
Im a little surprised to see you leave them folded in when you seal, so you are sealing through 4 layers of poly on either side of your bags. I tried that and could not figure out the right setting on the impulse sealer. In order to get a good seal through all the layers i needed it to be so hot it would often melt the middle where there are only 2 layers. Less heat and I had the opposite problem, it wouldn't seal through all the layers but the middle was good. I have the same one as you, with the timed magnetic hold. So i started sealing them all the way open, which requires 2 seals since the bags are too wide when opened up like that. Whats your secret to getting a good seal?
PS- I know I ask a lot of dumb questions, so you can tell me to go fuck off and that will be perfectly understood
edit: the impulse sealer is currently set to 4-5 on the heat dial and the magnetic hold "cool down" on 5-6

no question is a dumb question! don't doubt yourself!!! I love to help. thats the whole point of the thread. I know exactly what ur talking about. I have mine set about the same, just before the 5 and congeal setting to the max. my secret is I keep a hand over the sealer arm and prevent it from popping up which tears the middle like you were saying. release it slowly and peel the bag off with care. I used to do 2 seals on a slightly lower setting to prevent this but I like the current method. hope that helps!
BTW, killer grows LP! you're doin' it!

man thank you so much! thats a clever trick holding it down to keep the bags from ripping. tricks like this save people like me countless hours and material. I ripped a bunch of bags and almost went back to zip ties..again, thank you.
