a couple months ago i injected a bag with spore solution and growth really took off. once the bag reached 50% myc growth i "massaged" the bag till everythihjng was broken up and spread out. since then everything has slowed down, almost coming to a complete stoop. is this normal?

Either stalled or stoped... Break it up one more time and make sure temps are right and stable

Sounds like bacterial contamination. Can't say for sure without nice close up pics.

I no longer question the length of time it takes grains to colonize. I've found that there is no set duration that's consistent.
I have read posts time and again that say, if it's not done in X-amount of time, then it's bacteria or contaminated, or grains are too dry, or grains are too wet, etc, etc.
If you have a jar that never started colonizing after a couple of weeks, then most likely, it's not going to.
If you have a jar that is slow, but continues to show new growth, it's best just to put it away and check it every week or so.
If you have a jar that shows any kind of growth other than white, it may be contaminated unless it's a bit of yellow from metabolites.
If you shake a jar and disperse the colonized grains, it may take a few days to see signs of growth.
If you have a jar that when turned upside down, the grains seems to ooze down the side of the glass with a sticky consitencey, then you will probably not see any colonization and if any, most likely not 100% colnization.
If you have a batch of jars that seems to smell like sweet vinegar, you most likely have at least one jar in the batch that will not be successful.
If you have a jar that begins colonizing on the bottom, it does not mean anything other than that's were the spores hooked up and started (gravity).
If you have a jar that begins colonizing on the bottom, and growth is limited to the bottom, then usually it's indicative of moisture content is most accomodating in the bottom of the jar...
If you have a jar that colonizes on the top, and not on the bottom, it's indicative that the bottom grains are too wet.

im not sure if this hurts the bag but i take it out of the dark everyday or every other day to check growth. its out in the light for maybe 5 minutes at most.

i enjoyed that post Fraggin :-)
i must add though;
If you have a batch of jars that seems to smell like a combination of foot+ass+skunk, then most likely none of your jars will succeed xD
light really isn't a big deal with grain unless it's 100% colonized

if your bag has a filter patch on it, place that surface downward. maybe there is a build up of c02. sometimes with stalled jars i unscrew the lid a little and/or turn them upside down, this seems to work most of the time. Fraggin might be on to something about the moisture content also.

In my experience with bags(More than likely never again ) They take 2 yrs longer than the day after forever to colonize and twice that amount of time to pin even when kept at correct temperatures,they are probably fine and just taking FOREVER
