bummer, I have used grove bags for a few years now with great curing success and zero failures, granted I am careful and easy on goods but I've seen quite a few people online and youtube recently say exactly what you are, my only thought is that perhaps they are knock-offs or possibly a bad production batch or an alteration in the mfg process, or or or, your pic is the first decent one I've seen to really understand the failure point, thanks, and best of luck
