Unicorn spawn bags are they worth it?

So I'm sitting here looking at the I think T5 bags from unicorn but can't help but to wonder if there worth the $300+ for 1000?
First off that's 1000 bags!
Second are they that good of quality? I mean I buy amazon bags the 50 pack .5 microns no problems.. maybe I'm a cheap skate idk but I would value any opinions. Before I spend $300+ on bags...

I mean if you read any reviews they are of the upmost quality and standard. Can you get away with using a lesser bag? Absolutely but with unicorn bags they are very durable and also have a very high vent filter. They are the best for a reason. Do you want the best or do you. Want what will work?

If you really plan on cultivating 1000 bags worth of product... you’re kind of at the point where every extra bit of streamlining and efficiency can go a long way!

I've been super impressed with the 3T 3mil I got from Myers. Not sure I really needed the extra thickness as the bags are very high quality, but hearing stories of inferior chinese bags made me hesitant to start with the 2.2mil thickness. I can abuse these squeezing out excess air without worry and the 2 micron filter does fine with a sealed bag - just pack your PC full enough so they can't expand to the point of exploding.
You're only looking at $.35-$.40 a bag when you think about it and that replaces 5-6 jars/lids. That's probably cheaper than the cost of washing your jars when you think about the time it takes vs. the value of your time. Not to mention you can use 1 jar or bag of spawn to knock up LOTS of bags of grain further reducing your jar load. If you're ready to stop cooking jars all day, make the jump - it's worth it.

Tru dat.
Everything in your first paragraph can also be said of unicorn bags. They're quite sturdy.

I believe the 3t 3mil bags from meyers are unicorn bags. That's where I get my bags, his deals are better than my old supplier on the bay.

I buy all my bags from Meyers Mushrooms, and yes Unicorn bags are the shit. Absolutely worth it, but keep in mind 1000 is a lot of bags! I actually think he is having a sale right now on the 3TL bags. Worth looking into of that size will work for you.

Yes but then! You’ll have those 1000 bags for a long time! And even longer if you avoid contams haha! I’ve used ziplock gallon baggies, but for $.40-.$75 a bag they are worth every penny

Exactly...I was speaking about Unicorn bags as that is the topic of the thread 
So far it's been one of my bigger efficiency gains as it has dramatically reduced my cleanwork time. Can't wait for my FFU to arrive so I don't have to play tetris with all the stuff in my SAB.

Yes I do like having top-of-the-line stuff.... Maybe when I get my money up I'll buy a thousand bags... But money is pretty tight with the kid on the way plus just got done rebuilding flowood replacing filter. Also bought a 75X last month which still has not shipped...... Then again I do have a credit card... Hmmmm. To be broke or not broke that's the question!

Why not buy less than 1000?
It's not like they have a minimum and you can only buy 1000 at a time, yo

Wait where is that option? I swear I looked last night and 1000 was the only option.

Look at the shroomery sponsors, I’m pretty sure I bought 100 bags for $68 or something like that. 100 bags will last me forever! Especially since I use jars too. Lol if you buy 1000 and decide this hobby isn’t for you, lmk. I’ll buy them off you. I’ve been doing mycology for 3 years and have only used 100-200 bags

I might take you up on that deal! I mean I do run 10 bags a week waiting on my 75x before I go ham and start making a full on grow room. Separate from my grain room waiting on the right stuff to come in.

better start working on agar if your doing 10-15 bags a week. It’ll increase your success rate. Just remember my name and I’ll buy em, haha I’ll send some prints in return as well?

Dont know where youre looking but meyers sells them in packs of 50-1000
Check some of the sponsors. They all sell bags and none of them require buying 1000 at a time
