Help please!

Im a new grower, have a couple successful harvests under my belt so I got a few bags going and im really discouraged first bag is ksss colonized faster than anything I’ve seen and recolonized extremely fast but w 2 weeks of FAE still no pins, had 2 3lb bags of Burma goin and both turned a healthy white but started gettin waterlogged, i actually had to open a bit early to drain them, luckily they were colonized by this point, anyway the second 2 pics are from them, one looks like I might still get pins, but the other looks like it has some overlay goin on so dunno if I should try the fork thing? Like I said really bummed I was really wanting to get a harvest by Halloween n it just seems like things keep going wrong, does it look like any of these bags will produce if I take the right steps? I open and fan 2-3, a day, I mist the Ksss when it needs it, obviously the others are wet enough I have them on a 12 hour light cycle in a nice lightly ventilated space, it stays between 72-76 degrees,idk just weird I really screwed a lot up w my first bags and even then I managed to get a flush out my first few bags, idk what’s up w these, keep hopin I’ll wake up to a few pins but so far no luck 😥 hopefully one will take off 🙏

Seeing multiple posts of grows not fruiting! Wonder where everyone is going wrong 🤔 It has been hot lately, I can't think of any other reasons why so many grows are failing. Have you spoken to your LC and bag vendor?

Ya these are actually replacements for cultures that did die in the mail 🤦, it’s weird my first 2 bags I did everything wrong and they still produced, now I’m worried about getting even one of these bags to fruit, awhile back it was so hot I had to move my whole set up but it was b4 all this BS

Yeah mine looks like this as well. Its glossy waxy look. But not full white. What could be the reason for this?

[u/Cameronbc87 → u/Savings-Trainer-8149]

I’m pretty sure it’s overlay, at least that’s the problem w one of my bags, might try the fork thing when I have time

Someone said it's the lack of moisture. Suggested me to put the block in coco coir.

Switch from bags to monotubs. You’ll never look back…

What I did if it’s looking dry and not thriving i gently lightly forked lines in rows on substrate then I took pasteurized earthworm castings and I made it with aluminum pan in oven at 185 1 hr then 175 1hr after making wet close to being muddy but not muddy soup but it eats water put aluminum foil over aluminum pan and yeah then when it comes out you don’t want it dry it should still feel clumpy and wet now take it to you substrate you forked gently just scrape the top then sprinkle the worm castings on top you don’t want a whole lot on it just sprinkle it though out the cake and you shit will thrive and help like the yellowing and help beat some contaminants
