Mid-Cultivation / Still Growing Is there something wrong with my bag?

First time grower here. So I inoculated this 3lb grain/substrate bag with P Nats in the last week of December 2024. Long story short, I did 1 break and shake around a month after inoculating the grain. This seemed to have cause a stunt in the mycelium’s growth, and so for around 3 weeks there were seemingly minimal changes in the bag. This however changed in March when I started noticing changes in the bag. Not sure if it’s mycelium but the grain/substrate is slowly starting to get whiter and whiter, yet there seems to be condensation on the inside of the bag which I’ve heard is a sign of contamination.

Condensation doesn’t mean anything other than a high humidity content. If it was my bag, I would cut some holes and cover with micropore tape to improve FAE. I’ve had stuff slow down just like you, and that was what fixed it and got it to start pinning. Good luck, and happy growing.
