slow myco bags

I have two myco bags that are roughly 3 weeks since being inoculated with two diff. types of spores, one of them started showing myc at 2 and a bit weeks, and the second bag didnt, so i hit it with more spores because i figured the first syringe i used was skimpy with the spores, and still no signs of growth on that bag. the first bag has stalled out now also... so my question to you guys is should i just let em sit in the incubator a few more weeks,or maybe add some LC in the mix to speed things up.

your best chance of success is to remain patient and leave them alone
they've been inoculated, they'll work, or they won't. more inoculate means its just more likely you'll introduce a contaminate.
more info would help us troubleshoot. any smells? how have you provided for gas exchange (i.e., filter patch set up?) incubator if any, and what temperatures? did you prepare the bag yourself or get it pre-made - and what's in it - and what is the moisture content like? etc..

I have never seen anything take longer to colonize(Or fruit after full colonization) than bags.I see some people here,most notable Monstermitch get great results with bags,maybe you should ask him,his bag grows are awesome

when I did bags two of my own and two of monstermitch's bags I had faster results with my own bag .. I used 1 qt of rye spawn to 2 qts of my own substrate . basically coir Hpoo coffee verm .. etc the spawn to bags were colonized in about 2-3 weeks MM bags which I used 30 CC of LC took a month to colonize and several more weeks to fruit .. if you are going to do bags you should A. spawn to them . or B use at least 30CC or preferably 60CC of LC per bag .. never use spores to knock up bags. that will take forever.. BTW the instructions from MM's bag say 30CC at least or better yet 60CC but never spores good luck

they are rye,hpoo,verm,coco-coir bags with filter patches, i put the growing one in my incubator wich stays at around 75-80, and the one that hasnt done anything i have hanging in my closet wich is 72 degrees. moisture seems optimal for both bags, no weird smells. I think its probably just impatience, i didnt realize how fuckin slow bags are when i got em. ah well, least i've got plenty of old faithfull pf jars to pass the time with.
