So this is what happened
Colonized birdseed

Got crushed up and put into autoclave bags
A makeshift tyvek filter was construed
In addition, pasteurized horse doody added to birdseed
Ratio 50/50 birdseed to poopies (with some coffee grinds in the poo, as well as coco coir)

Weird thing is....seems to be taking the bags a longer time to colonize than the monotub setup. Maybe the bags got a too-wet-batch of horse poo and the monotubs were drier, but the monotubs are colonizing visibly while the bags are just sucking.

Not sure why the bags would do this.
Seems simple enough: Add birdseed and poo in the bag, just like a monotub, and let go......anyone?

Also...whats up with coco coir, people seem to say you need to squeeze the crap out of it to get the excess water out. It seems like even when you squeeze the water out, the coir still retains enough moisture to make it suitable. Maybe the bags were just too wet, but still, the moisture was at a level where you squeeze quite hard (harder than most firm handshakes) and water dripped....Arg

You shouldn't really crush up bird seed, you just messed up there moisture content as a substrate but it does have lots of nutrition.
Did you make sure the Hydrated poo/coffee grounds were at field capacity?
How did you pasteruize/sterilize?
Coco Coir holds a lot of moisture and has a lot of nutrition just like horse/cow poop
What are your incubation temps?

shrooms put me on the ground everytime, they made me scared like the police was coming for me any second. I flushed 1/4lb floured shrooms down the toilet. I just couldn't enjoy them.Their religious purpose was served and i think everyone should try them at least once.

peace

crushed as in crumbled after taking out of the jar, breaking up
pasteurized by putting in jars in h20 raising to 140F-160F for 1 hr
temps = 72

the problem seems to be a) way too much coffee grounds (some say don't even bother with them) and b) too much moisture because of underestimating the coco coir capacity
 
Your Contaminant Prone...because you took the PC'ed jars of WBS into the autoclavable bags and Pasteruized instead of PC....that's why people don't pc manure...you have to treat it like an LC because of how easy it is to contam. did you inoculate it? Temps seem about right...I'll have to talk to my FOAF to recall on the coir/coffee method

Beautiful Bear!! I just tripped earlier today for the first time in a couple months and as always, loved it. :)
Nice tub there... and it looks like a nice pull too. Good luck with the new tubs... grew puerto ricans awhile back and they were good producers. Enjoy and good luck!
