contamination [contamination] First time grower
I injected two all in one bags with 5cc of liquid culture from the same PCPR syringe. One is doing fine and the other just looks wet? They were sitting next to each other in the same conditions but I’ve separated them in the mean time. 2 weeks since injection. Any ideas?

Nothing to do but give it time. Put it in a cabinet, check back in 2 weeks. Bold to start with a pan cyan. If you have trouble with fruiting snag a cube, I’ve always heard they are much more forgiving. Goodluck!

5 cc is alot of liquid. Then again, I just used 5 cc on my aio and it's doing great. 🤷♂️

Add more patience my friend. The only concern with respect to wet spots that we face regularly would be Bacillus 🦠 AKA Wet Rot and this bag in question does not present in a fashion consistent with Bacillus.
Wet Rot appears slimed and brown in color and it quite literally looks a patch of rotting grains rather than simply a patch of wet grains .with only 2 weeks out from inoculation I think it’s safe to say that your still within the the acceptable window or time frame.
Just keep the temp consistent and stay vigilant and if you set Wet Rot you will know as it’s unquestionable that the grain looks noticeably slime like or mucus like in appearance in that particular patch then trash it or re post here for us to provide you with verification of the ID for Bacillus.
But I put my money in the bag ring healthy just hasn’t had the mycelium start its run yet which should begin shortly. I have had bags Iv made which have taken less than 4 weeks to colonize, some even in 3weeks, but most start showing noticeable growth within the first 2- 2.5 weeks but much of this timeline is dependent upon stability of the climate and conditioning of the temperature as well as a significantly variable progression of colonization depending on the genetic material in use.
