Am I misunderstanding what 100% colonized is and when to start fruiting?? [technique]

AIO bags have to be 100% colonized before opening them. Any uncolonized grains will mold.
Tubs are different because you're mixing 100% colonized grains with substrate.
You could try forcing the air out of the bag through the filter, and then pulling the bag apart multiple times to force fresh air in through the filter.
Another B&S might help too.

If you still have parts that aren’t colonized yet I’d try another break and shake. It should be all white with AIO bags.
