Myco Bags

I've been looking into getting some myco bags to work with instead of jars, but am wondering what bags y'all go for. I'll be getting unicorn bags, but I am having trouble deciding which ones to get. They would be used for grain spawn, so I know I can't use the 5 micron ones, but has anyone noticed a difference between 0.5 and 0.2 microns?
Also, is the 3 mil bags necessary, or is 2.2 fine?
I'm thinking of going with the 3T version, which is 8″X5″X19″ 2.2mil with 0.2 microns, but since I gotta get 1000, I wanna see what everyone thinks

I use the same size dimension bags but mine are 6mil thick. Not sure if its totally necessary but its what i found on amazon. Size wise they're great, you can get 5lbs of grain in there with ample room for a shake and re consolidate.

6 mil?? That seems really thick. I wonder if that is necessary/how easily do these bags break?
I want to go with Unicorn bags because I've heard nothing but good things

Agreed, i hear nothing but good things as well. Like i said, I have no idea how necessary the 6mil thickness is, its just what it is for the bags i got and have had success with. Ive never broken a bag.

I use the "extra thick" 3mil version of these and they rock. Best bags I have used so far. You can get them from myersmushrooms.com in quantities of 50 and up, if you don't want to go for the whole 1000 from Unicorn.

Thanks Asura and Ted. I think I'll go with the 3 mil ones cause I'm clumsy haha
Another quick question that I kind of already have the answer to but would love to hear some confirmation. I'm planning on going agar to a quart jar of grain, and then g2g that to bags, but how many bags do you think I could get out of one master quart jar? I'm thinking of just sticking to one or two cause I'm a fan of heavily spawning, but that might be just creating more work

Less is more... at least 10 bags. But if u g2g to jars 1st u can make alot more bags. Or just cook a couple jars and g2g some to the jars for masters and the rest to bags.

Bag to bag grain transfers huh?
I've done a million g2g for jars, but probably need to refine my bag work, but bag to bag seems like the way to go!
Also, Ted, your tek on cramming a 75x filled with bags is friggin awesome! (I have one of those on the way and am rather giddy about my new toy!)

Uh, i do those but thats not what I meant. When u have your jar and u want to expand it to bags make an extra jar or 2 and expand a tiny bit of grain into 1 or 2 jars before you noc your bags so u have new masters everythime u noc some bags.
U gotta be careful with bag to bag cause the losses are high if u pick a bad master or mess anything up. More to toss and more work lost.
Ooh, your gonna love that 75x!

Ahh yes that's what you meant haha. Yeah that's a great idea to always have master jars. I'll probably run a cycle with jars, noc those up with agar, g2g those to more jars, then have a ton of jars to transfer to bags! Thanks for the tips!
Also, yes very excited for the 75x! It needs to get here already!
