Shelf life of inoculated jars?
    #17292253 - 11/27/12 05:58 PM (12 years, 1 month ago)

Hey all,

I have nine half-pint jars inoculated with golden teachers (PF Tek). I've been really busy and have been a little lazy with my grow, so they've been 100% colonized for a month or so now.

How long will the mycelium survive after 100% colonization in this amount of substrate? There's a chance I won't be able to birth them and move them to a terrarium until late January – will they survive until then, and will they still be able to produce mushrooms after incubating for that long? Will putting them in the fridge/freezer halt growth until I'm ready to birth?

Thanks for your help.

They'll definitely be able to survive that long.  I had some slow-colonizing PF tek jars that didn't get birthed until 4-5 months after they were inoculated.  Some people say letting them sit makes them more potent as well.

Thanks for the quick reply. Would you recommend putting them in the refrigerator? Might they start to pin?

I do believe that putting in the refrigerator will slow growth for you.

Theyll last that long but definitely dont put them in the fridge. Your right on point with the pinning. Cold shock activates pinning. I had some jars a while back that were colonized and just chillin cause i went on a trip for a week. I came back and the temp in the house was like 62.8 and they had started pinning. LOL. I can only imagine what a fridge would do, that is if it didnt stunt the growth. but cheers! good luck man! and happy :crazy2:

haha. i havent put them in the fridge so i cant really say for sure :P but it seems like it would stunt the growth because you can store syringes in fridges and they "last longer" which to me seems like it means that it would stunt growth of jars. and since i had pinning at 62.8, it only makes since that a fridge would do that too. search up "cold shocking".

Main pinning triggers are full colonization, FAE and Evaporation off of the substrate.

Light is a secondary pinning trigger. For tropical species temperature is not a pinning factor.

I heard that cold shocking won't do any thing for cubensis.

I have heard a little of both. I have heard of cold shocking doing stuff and also of it not doing stuff. I guess it just depends? idk. and yes, those are the main and secondary pinning triggers as Notahacker said. Listen to him, Pretty much every question i have ever had. Notahacker has either answered or helped me figure out. He should def have a TC Tag but im not the one who hands those out :P

Cold shocking benefits some Edibles. Not tropical species.

So with all that being said... does growth need to be stalled until late January? If I come back to the jars in a month and a half, kept in the dark and room temperature, can I birth them with good results? Or would it be better to stall the growth until then by putting them in the fridge?
