hey whats goin on, this post isnt actually for me, its for a friend of mine. hes trying to grow and having some difficulties. hes been too busy to ask for himself, so i decided id ask for him. anyways, he is trying 'Psilocybe cubensis B+' spores in a bag he purchased from ebay which i believe consists of: brown rice flour, corn, kelp, vermiculite.
its been 24 days and only 2 fuzzy white patches have appeared. anyone see any reason for it not growing yet?
please refrain from pointing out my ignorance and overall stupidity haha just kidding... but seriously... i, myself, have actually grown once but it was pretty easy with the mycobag anyways,,,

it is growing. that's mycelium. that's good.
it should grow throughout the entire bag.. just leave it alone until it's fully white..
in the mean time, figure out how you are going to fruit it by searching forum posts.
or how 'your friend' is going to fruit it

when he inoculated the bag did he move the substrate inside the bag around or just let it sit the way it was and does he have it in a dark warm place?

Yeah ask your friend if he is incubating the bag and not just letting it sit at room temp. It should be around 80-85 for optimal growth. If its taking longer than either the bag was old and ruined or he is not incubating at the proper temp.

Hello to u all 
Sorry Select for posting here but..
Please all...I have this questions below posted on a thread 2 days ago and nobody answered me..help.. 1. If I put the print in a sterilized jar and pour sterilized water above it, sealed it with foil, shake it and than draw with the syringe the content will do well? All the teks I have read say about injecting the water into the zip-lock.. but I want to try the stuff I mentioned.
2. I bought 2 large casing semi-translucent blue. They are very expensive in my country so I don't want to buy more so here is what I thought off : - put black plastic bags in them an use them as double tub - also use them as fruit chambers but without the holes... I do not know if leaving the lid cracked open will suffice but it has too... if I fan it 2-3 times a day u think it will be OK? 
3. I have a pressure boiling pot that goes to 70KPA not at 100 will do if I boil for 90 minutes?
Please answer cause I'm staying in front of my comp and eating my fingernails...
