so this is my spawn bag that is starting to pin already as you can see in the pic below. ive never done spawnbags but i dont think that this bag is fully colonized yet. if you look at the 2nd pic, thats a shot of the one side that hasnt colonized yet. what do you guys think i should do?

Personally I grow mine right in the spawn bag, for me it is just easier. I also use boxes to block off the light from all four sides so I get no side pins

yea i plan on growing them right in the bag. but dont i have to cut holes in the thing and introduce it to lighting? should i do that or should i wait for it to maybe colonize some more?

Personally I am very lazy....
I knock up the bags, let them sit for about 2-3 weeks, shake them, then wait about another 2-3 weeks till the bags look about 100% and leave an osolating fan and the light 12/12

Aren't you supposed to fluff the substrate before you inoculate? I have no clue, I'm a nub, so that question is for myself as well.

i got 2 sub bags in a trade and i was just told to inoculate and wait. so thats what i did. when the mycelium starts to colonize this stuff they become very solid.

If you're doing it into jars then definitely shake, if you do not you will end up with a cake. I would imagine the substrate would be more packed too so there's every chance it will take longer to colonize.

I have always not shaked and got tired of breaking up WBS cakes that quite often stalled before finishing. In future I would shake if I were you.

the red circle on the top picture is the injection port.
no i didnt get them on ebay.
fuc man! i had no idea i was supposed to fluff these bags. so should i let it sit a little longer and see if it colonizes more? or should i go ahead and cut some slits in it and give it lighting?
i also have another bag thats not colonizing very well but its not pinnig yet should i try and break that all up?

Looks like Trich. I hope not, but in the bottom picture it looks like you can see the line of separation between the green area toward the top center and the whitish mycelium.

okay so if this is trich where do i go from here being that there are mushrooms starting to grow?
do i just toss it?
or leave it be and see what happens? (dont put slits in, maybe just give it some lighting)
or cut some slits in it and give it lighting and try and fruit this thing?

Had the same thing happen, green mold, I cut open the bag right on top and in the middle of the densest growth(wiped the bag down with alcohol) used a sterile spoon, scooped out chunks of myc and noc'd up some Hpoo pans. Pans made it, I watched the green mold reek havoc on the bag for a day or so before i threw it in the burn barrel.

You should be able to tell within a day or two whether or not contamination is present. The green will spread quickly, especially in an enclosed space with limited air exchange like a jar or a bag.
If it looks good, fruit it. If it shows green, get rid of it immediately. Trust me, a bad outbreak of the Trich can haunt you for months if not disposed of in time.

yea i just squeezed all the air out of it and now i have it hanging.
even if it is trich (which im not sure) im still going to try and fruit this one i think. unless it gets overwheminly over ran by the green. the filter patch shouldnt let the contams into the air right?

i think it was 5 cc's of spore solution. im pretty bummed about this. i injected a few other things with solution made from the same print i injected this sub bag with and they all got contaminated also. so its looking pretty grim. i already threw away the print because i think that was the culpret.

i got it through someone in a trade but he gives prints to sponses all the time so i dont know.
yea they are 5 lb bags and like i said before i had no idea i had to fluff them otherwise i would have.
if it is trich do you think it got into the air when i squeezed the air out of the bag?

cut back the plastic to expose the pins but dont let the uncolonized sub hit the fresh air. Put a tight rubber band or some duct tape around it to form a seal. AS soon as the pins grow up they will suck the moisture out of that bag and the rest will colonize rapidly
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.
