Should I do a second break

so this is my first grow and i am wondering if i should do a second break or i just need to be more patient. i innoculated on june 15 and did my first break on june 28th its now july 6th and i want to make sure i have full collonization and i know im not close right now. so should i do another break i just dont want to stall it either. Patience may not be one of my virtues.

Hello and welcome on forum 🙂

'Break and shake' has its pros and cons. On the one hand, you spread mycelium throughout the substrate, in this way you can speed up the spreading.

On the other hand, every time you break and shake the mycelium will have to recover after stress and reconnect its anchors.

It makes sense to do it when you have 30-50% of colonization. In your case your bag is almost colonized, over 90% already. So I'd skip break n shake for now and give it another week ;-)

Also for better colonization and avoiding stalled mycelium there should be at least minimal gas exchange in your bag. It shouldn't be completely sealed!

Do you have an air filter in your bag (I just can't see it in your photos 🧐)?

Is the air filter dry?

Do you have some air in your bag or is it completely sealed?

Could you pls also show me the bottom view of your bag?

yea it has a filter on it and air in the bag and the air filter is dry

Should be fine then :-) You’re welcome!
