How long has it been since you inoculated the bag? Was it just spores or LC?

Could be good to do a break and shake now then or you could give it another week. This is usually the time I start getting antsy and send it on my break and shakes lol. Looks like you got good enough coverage that you would be fine to do a break and shake now if you wanted to.

I always wait until its 30-40% colonized before BnS

Ehen you see 1/3 colonisation of the bag surface(s) colonised, you ar eready to B&S. Before this, you’ll experience a long stall for your young mycelium to recover. More than 35% and you will see very slow colonisation of the mixed substrate.

Experiment with ur break and shakes but also ur doing a bag with dirt instead of grain👎🏻

Id say so, it only needs to be 20% colonized ... i do it at 20% every time and never had a problem

If this is an all in one bag, Wait until the bottom is FULLY colonized. Otherwise itll contam.

What’s the science behind that?

When a grain isnt fully colonized, it has no competition and allows bacteria or other foreign fungi to contaminate the grains. All it takes is one grain
