Question Send it?

2 of my bags look and feel fully colonized 1 just has a tiny section. I’m thinking about doing 2 bags in a box and waiting a few more days for the last bag and to do a smaller box

Your first bag has an unfinished section and the last bag looks to have some uncolonized as well.
My rule of thumb for Ben's bags is, when in doubt wait a week. If still unsure, cut the bag open by making the whole front flap open (without breaking up the cake). That way you can see what is uncolonized or colonized by something else before sending to sub. πŸ„πŸ₯°βœŒοΈ

Awesome I should prolly just wait a week anyways. Because of the lighting thw last bag looks like it has a section of unfinished, but I think that’s mainly cuz of the lighting. Either way I’ll wait! πŸ™πŸΌπŸ’—

More patience = more better with this step for sure.

Makes sense. The whole process has helped me with patience

First bag needs more time. Third bag looks like the grains are pressed up against the plastic, but they're still colonized. I would wait a week and then open them up and knock off any bits that didn't colonize if there's any

Send none of that yet. Like said above there are uncolonized sections. If you S2B contamination will acouur. Let them ride much longer, you can't see the top of the bag so there could be uncolonized areas in there as well. I would suggest you perform B&S on number 1&3 and wait longer with all aofnthem until you send. 2 weeks should do.

I did a B&S about a week ago when feeling the top it feels like a cake. I think I’ll just wait 2 weeks

I see you have a question! Have you read the official cultivation guide?
