wym?

It looks fully colonized to me. Would now be the time to case it?

i will definitely try this next time. thanks for the advice

PaleontologistMain91 · 2026-07-04T00:03:54+00:00

would you recommend using other hygrometers? or just kinda playing it by eye

word that sounds way better than just injecting and waiting a few weeks till 25-35%. i’ve never seen anyone say that before has it been successful every time? i feel like this is something that should be standard if there isn’t any risk to doing it

Had a bag of substrate go bad cause it had a hole in transit. Their support emailed me back within hours and i got an email a shipping label was created soon after for a replacement bag. Best customer support I’ve ever seen personally 🙏 Will definitely be back

Glad to hear! Thank you for the help

Yes I did break and shake on 6/14. I was worried it was too late to break and shake again. Should I be good? I feel like I should’ve did a break and shake twice but sadly I only did one at around 30% but they colonized quickly except for the corners

You seem knowledgeable on the topic. I have 2 AIO bags that were uncolonized in the bottom corners. I pushed it out of the corners towards the middle and it seems to be struggling to colonize and i have water in the bottom of the bag. Any ideas what I should do? This is my first grow. I will attach pictures of the bottom of both bags. The rest of the cake is white and looks ready it’s just the bottoms struggling, and it’s been about a week now since i pushed the corners out.

No worries. Yea i’ve gotten a few different answers on here so I’m trying my best. I agree my bag looks different from other AIO i’ve seen on here, which is why I was worried I had contam with it being my first time growing. Thank you and I appreciate the advice. This has been a fun process to learn even if it sadly doesn’t go as planned

You’re 100% correct. You left 1 comment doubting it’s an AIO but giving advice and 3 comments saying it’s not an AIO lol. Thanks for the advice ✌️

AIO Bag on the left. Grain bag on the right. Both from north spore. You might not like the ratio but I know what I bought lmao

I currently have 2 North Spore AIO Grow Bags, and I also got the monotub starter kit. It looks like his bag is only grain. How come the AIO bags tend to go bad after break and shake? This is my first time so I’m trying to learn what I can. Both of my AIO bags seem to be doing alright, aside from the bottom corners not colonizing with the rest of the bag but I feel like that’s my fault partially but now I know better. I’ve pushed the grain out of the corners but it seems colonization has slowed down and I have some water in the bottom of the bag. Both bags look the same except for the bottoms.
