i have recently cased a colonized tray of castings/coir/verm with 50/50 coir verm and its been 5 days and i cant see any sign of the mycelium colonizing what could be the reason of this stun? could it be the bleach when i first misted the casing? the concentration was about 1:20 bleach:H2O . could it recover if its the case?
thanks..
stunned growth?

I've never had bleach anywhere near my casings, so I don't know about that. How deep is your casing layer? When you applied your casing layer, did you cover it with foil, poke holes in it, and put it in you incubator?

casing layer is 1 inch deep, covered with foil with holes and put back in incubator as usual, been doing that for a year now with no problems at all, its the first time i encounter this.

also i wouldnt tamper with a one inch casing
unless i saw obvious signs of infection
Ive grown impatient and messed with many casing before
its best to wait them out
and I hear you, thinking the bleach could have stunned
in the archives its been said that a three day wait is usually had after
cakes were spritzed.. i believe, with that concentration
ive seen some casings take in three days, some in six
it might be the temp or numberous things
also bleach can help hide contams..

you might want to keep it at 80 or a little higher
i believe the word is casings throw off a 5 degree addtion to the room temp..
or that might just be innoculate with jars..
you can case at the same temps you incubate at..
witha faster degree of success..
correct me if im wrong

Did you cover the casing after the bleach spray..? If so you may have gassed em ..1:20 ratio is pretty strong for mycelium...

might have water logged it..

update: one pin!! lol woke up today and theres this small pin sticking out of the side. seems like the myc is still alive, but still no signs in the middle , just this lonely side pin. could it actually be waterlogging so its only pinning from the side?
heres a couple of pics to illustrate.
