Popcorn Cultavation Problem... Please help!

I tried to start my first mycelium jar with the popcorn method but I have run into a problem. When I was sterilizing my jar I couldn't use a pressure cooker so I was boiling my jar in a pot but I wasn't paying attention and the water in the pot boiled down. I had a cloth in the bottom to protect the jar that was still wet but I am afraid that I lost water from my jar and the popcorn is not saturated well enough. Is there any way I can tell if there is the right amount of water in the jar or a sterile way to add more? thanks in advance.

from my experience with popcorn, i dont think you're going to be able to do it any other way then 24 hour soak, simmer for about an hour, then PC it..

have to PC everything besides pf tek try again.
Next time follow a basic tek to the letter instead of trying on your own.
Especially on your 1st grow
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Popcorn Playa Tek
Without PC'ing you cant sterilize grain of any sort its not gong to work. The only thing that will work without pc'ing is pf tek. Use a tek and follow it to the T. Untill you gain some experience
