First post—questions about moisture and space in grow bags
    #29677216 -

Hi everyone!
New member here, finally stepping out of lurking mode. Happy to be joining you 🙂

I have two JMF kits in bags, and there are a couple of things I’m unsure about. I’ve attached photos to show what I mean.
Moisture: There seems to be a lot of water inside the bags. Is this amount normal, or could it be a problem?

Space: The substrate blocks are quite large compared with the space above and around them. It looks like the mushrooms would soon touch the sides of the bags. Is that a concern, or am I overestimating how much room they need?
Thanks for taking a look. Still finding my feet here!

Well it technically means that your grow room (where the bags are) is colder than the humid environment inside the bags

It could be a symptom of bacterial contamination although I dont see any other syptoms of that

I would say to let it run its course, it should be popping out fruits any day now and it is not a problem if the mushrooms touch the sides of the bags :thumbup:

Thanks for taking the time to reply and for the welcome!
These bags are new to me, so I’ve probably been staring at them a bit too much 😅 Appreciate you looking at the photos.

Quick update on these two bags — they’ve progressed a lot since my first post.

Bag #1 is now fruiting well and several of the largest mushrooms have broken their veils, while lots of smaller fruits are still developing.

Bag #2 is much further behind and has one larger fruit plus smaller pins.

I’m now unsure how to handle harvest timing with such an uneven flush. Should I be thinking about the mature fruits separately, or is there usually a point where you harvest the whole first flush together?
I’ll attach current photos of both bags. The condensation is still impressive 😅
Thanks again for the earlier advice — leaving them alone definitely seems to have been the right call so far.

Quick update on bag #1 — Operation Semi-Harvest happened 😅
I finally opened it and harvested the clearly mature mushrooms, while leaving the smaller fruits/pins on the block to keep going.
The mature ones came to roughly a quarter kilo fresh, which surprised me a bit considering how little I could actually see through the condensation 😂
Everything looked, smelled and felt fresh and healthy when I opened the bag.
What I’m unsure about now is whether leaving the smaller mushrooms behind was the right move.
For an uneven flush like this, do you guys normally:
harvest only the mature fruits and let the smaller ones catch up, or
clear the whole flush once the larger ones are ready?
I’ve got bag #2 coming along much more slowly, so I’d like to know what I should do differently when that one gets there.
I’ll add photos as soon as I defeat the ancient technology involved in uploading pictures to this forum 🫣

I'd have done exactly the same, those "small" ones are still plenty far along, it'd be a shame to cut em. Some big boiz in there!

It’s just condensation.
