Hey all, I'm a newbie here and I'm looking for some advice from knowledgeable growers. I ordered one of the pre-mixed bags from non sponsor without really thinking my time table through. I'm expecting the bag to arrive around the end of the month, but I can't start fruiting any lovelies until the end of December. I'm expecting about 4 weeks to colonize because I can't provide anything warmer than about 72 F for the bag to colonize in, but then I have 3-4 weeks downtime between colonization and fruiting. Non sponsor recommends inoculating the bag right away. Can I let the colonized bag sit for the remainder of the time, or would contamination be almost certain?
