Let me first clarify that the recipe is my own. Agar (Kelp meal) and Blue Helix (WBS) gave me some tips on ingredients, but the recipe is mine. Okay, everything you did, assuming you followed the recipe, is 100% correct. The WBS is mixed in dry and is not simmered or soaked.
The moisture content is perfect if you use the recipe and try to keep the measurements on the money. I sent you a PM on this Omni. I would like to see a pic of your LC before making any judgments. By the way, 3 days is not always going to show an extensive amount of growth. I tend to find 4-5 days to be the mark for noticeable growth.

dry uncooked wbs means dry uncooked wbs 
Oh yeah, and why not get filter patch bags? they cost me $0.40 a bag shipped, already have a built in filter and work in the PC...

I think you should get a metal for that recipe. Seriously, it works great. Everyone should use it. The shrooms are SO potent, people love them. USE CARLITOS RECIPE.

day 5 1/2:

i guess im used to LC Knocked subtrate colonizing much more rapidly. there was literally next to nothing last night... sneaky mycelium. probably a little behind, but it looks like they will pull through.
heres a pic of the LCs used:

And sorry about not giving you cred for the recipe! im apparently getting dumber by the day...

had i known the bag thing would get so much response, i would have started a new thread. unrelated they are.
the colonizing bags are that last of my mycosupply spawn bags, so then i ordered the uline bags, which apparently suck. just by feeling/pulling them, i can tell that they are weak and probably wont stand up to the PC. i still must try, tonight, its too fucking hot right now.

do the thing i suggested... a bag in a jar, so you don't make a mess :P
Does anyone know why no one uses small oven bags? other than they are rather expensive? they are rated to 350 degrees in the oven... just wondering

some people use oven bags, and you can even use the large oven bags if you want. they can only handle so much abuse though, or they might rip a little seam that dooms your whole effort.
i like the bag in a jar idea, with an inch or 2 of water in the jar, for weight and added moisture for protection.

Yeah, I'm a genius (literally).
You can thank me later :P
Yeah, I have a huge box of oven bags that I got from a restraunt supply store. I did a jar test with one of them and it survived, so I had always wondered why no one ever used them, but you answered my question! I also like your 'filter patch'. I was thinking about doing something similar, a 1 inch piece of pvc, pull the open end of the bag through, pull it down, then duct tape a tyvek patch over the open tube...

Omnicracker-
I got duped as well but the 3 mil should be PC'able. You just jewed yourself into 1000 casing bags. Thats what I use them for. Pack the PC till there is no room in two bags and polyfil rubberband the top. It works just fine but you have to cut the top off as the bag will melt at the top. I have also used the 2 mil successfully without the top melting. They suck do not get me wrong but I Pasteurize a ton of manure so they work great for me in that respect. Ill probably order some 3 mil for the casings as well. Just be careful if your PC gets running around 17psi then the bags may want to start sticking to one another. Just take them out slowly.
