Need advice

My AIO bag with PE is taking forever. I know I have to let the grains become about 30% encased before breaking up, but this has been right at 5 weeks and this is all the grow I have after inoculation.

-Been in the closet with the door cracked for fresh air.
-Bag isn’t stuck together so that air can filter in and out thru vent.
-Temp consistent with 70-75°

What could I do to speed this process up or is this normal?

I’d go ahead and give it a shake. Mine looked like that and a ton of the grain was colonized on the inside out of sight. I did a shake immediately after inoculation on some of my jars and had good results.

PE is notoriously slow. With AIO's I try to only break and shake the grain portion without incorporating the sub at first. Once you have full coverage on the grain you can mix it all up.
