Once you extract myc water from a colonized grain jar, is the jar reusable again in any way?

Once you dilute the myc water into sterilized water, and then use it all up, can you come back to the colonized grain jar and extract more mycelium? Or should you use it to make another grain lc? I guess I'm just confused b/c sugar based lc's grow while sterilized water does not provide any nutrients for growth.

If you get all the moisture out there is a good chance it will recolonize then you can use the jar for another glc or g2g or w/e

Pint jars work great for making GLCs... Once done; G2G to 4~6 quart jars... Then G2G those quart jars to 7~12/ea

The only time I use popcorn is for GLC's in half pints then g2g 1 of those to 2 quarts.

I am new to this and have successfully made a few litres of glc. I was never able to get all the water out of the pint jars and the grains are really wet. So what I have done is to put the wet jars back into my tub in tub incubator and lay them on their sides. Then I shake the jars 2 times a day I will shake the jars up and keep trying to move the moisture around. The temp in the incubator is 80-82 then after a few days the myc seems to bounce back once the jar stabilized I keep shaking the grains every other day or so so they won't bind together. I have done this with cubes and edibles . I have been lazy as of late so I've been shaking jars of colonized grains not giving the recovering myc a chance to bind everything together then it seems to stay separated. I have then successfully spawned these grains so far 3 weeks later. You can then spawn the grains to coir or sawdust blocks or bags. It works just fine and I have had no contam issues. I used pints of millet of atl #7 and mex-a for glc then spawn them to bags of rye for sclerotia. or you could just throw them out !

That's mycelium abuse.
After draining the water out, the grains can be used as-is to inoculate bulk substrates without further re-colonizing. RR

I wasn't intentionally trying to abuse the myc its just that with my busy schedule sometimes I just don't have enough time to get everything ready all at once. I did leave a blue oyster sit after making glc and it went completely solid after 1 week. I have read you can scoop it out with a spoon but I am a bit wary of that. I was simply trying to delay the re-colonization till I was ready, having only 1 pc trying to juggle pcing water, bags, bulk. I wonder if refridgeration would also work
