First Tek - Mistake?
    #12566678 - 05/15/10 10:17 AM (14 years, 8 months ago)

Hey guys! Just a little background on the situation, this is my first grow. I decided to go the PF Tek route because based on what i've researched its the simplest and best way for a beginner to begin mushroom cultivation. I bought all of my supplies, jars, verm, rice flour, and i set up an incubator in my mini fridge. I ordered my spores and they have not yet arrived so i decided to save some time by mixing the ingredients and placing them in the jars, sterilizing when my spores came and then inoculating. After my first five jars were filled i realized that there are many spores in the air and i'm afraid that other spores from the air will now start developing in the jars. I didn't know what to do as i wont have my spores and pressure cooker until monday at the soonest. I've put them in my fridge at the highest cold setting in order to prevent growth of contaminants. Should I be worrying? If so are there any other methods of preventing contaminants from growing in my sealed non inoculated jars? Thanks so much for your help.

It should be fine when refrigerated.  You shouldn't be worried about spores that have just begun germinating as they are easier to kill than dormant spores.

You can steam sterilise the jars in a big pot with about an inch of water in the bottom for an hour/hour and a half.  Then innocuolate when the spores arrive on Monday.

That works too for the PF tek. But if you have a pressure cooker it's pretty much top dog for home cultivation.
