First time growing, growing in a pf tek mushroom bag getting close to fully colonized do I have to let it colonize fully white? And can I just cut the top off an put in my Martha when I'm ready to fruit or must you soak pf tek for the 24 hours what would be the best method to do? Sorry for lots of questions I've just found so much info contradictory other info, please help will be muchly appreciated

Got any pictures of this PF tek bag?
Maybe a link to a similar item?
A picture says a lot when you're asking for help/advice.

Honestly I really do not have much experience with PF bags, none in fact.
Hopefully someone who does will come along and offer some solid tips.
I have a few more questions for you if you don't mind.
You mentioned a martha, do you have and pics of your set up? What are you running for fresh air exchange? Humidity?
Martha can be fickle and sometimes a little tricky to dial in when she is empty or only has a little substrate in her. The reason the shoe box setups, monotubs, ect work so well is because they put a very small limit on the amount of air that needs to be controlled. When you start expanding your fruiting chamber size without expanding the substrate to be fruited it becomes very easy to fall out of the optimal condition range for your project.
I would recommend that you set the bag somewhere that it can get at least 20 minutes of direct sunlight every day, I have found an easterly or westerly window works great.
I personally wouldn't go through the hassle of trying to set up a martha for one little bag, if you got 20 of them maybe, but for one bag I would use a small tub or just fruit it in the bag itself.

I'd probably go with a water tub.. there are different ways of doing things that are based on preference; I would personally just case it with hydrated substrate and place it in the tub without a dunk.
Fruiting it in the bag is also a good option. Just open the top of the bag once colonized (don't break up the spawn, keep it in a block), add some hydrated substrate on top (coir, vermiculite, or a mix of both, and re seal the top of the bag (unless you also put it in a tub)
Note: be sure that your hydrated substrate is at proper field capacity to ensure optimal surface conditions
