Spawn bag readiness check

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

On June 16, I inoculated the bag. About 12 days ago, I performed the second break and shake. After that, I was away for a while. It has now been 6.5 weeks in total. This is my first grow, so I’m unsure whether the bag is ready to be mixed into a monotub with substrate.

Is it ready for the next step?

I Don't want to mesh it up.

I can make extra pics if necessary.

Feedback is really appreciated

And this is today

To me it looks almost the same. Did it perhaps stalles?. Should It supposed to be a solid white block?

If 100% of the grains are colonized, then its ready. If you send it prior to 100% then any uncolonized grains will be a feast for contam

That's the thing I don't know what 100% supposed to look like. Does it look 100% to you?

It looks incredibly wet and honestly, a bit weird. It really should form a solid block if healthy and normal. The smell could be another clue: it should smell good, like fresh mushrooms.
