What do I do with dud jars?
    #17308456 - 11/30/12 11:25 AM (12 years, 1 month ago)

I have four jars of popcorn substrate that didn't colonize and two jars of BRF that didn't colonize.  Do I re-inoculate them, run them through the pressure cooker again and then inoculate them or just throw out the substrate and start again with a whole new batch of substrate mix and clean jars?

I'd just run them through the PC again, but I'm still a noob so there might be a reason to not do that.

Personally I would PC them and then throw them away... Some will say to PC and re inoculate them.

I've thrown away and re PC'd then inoculated with mixed results.

It's better to know why they didn't do anything first; bad spores, contaminated grain, grain too wet, grain too dry

It's a grain issue.  I have one that made it so I think - for some reason - the grain was too dry, but I did see one kernal had split, so maybe something else is wrong?

Yeah, I figured that would be the verdict.  The jars are salvageable though, right?  Just clean them out and then sterilize them and I should be good to go?

Dump it, wash it in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher, let it dry, re-use :thumbup:

Okay.  Also I noted there was some discussion as to whether or not one would case cubies.  Is this right?  The popcorn I am growing now would not be cased?

If you're fruiting directly from the grains, you need to case it.
But you can make a bulk substrate and skip the casing part after it's colonized. You'll get better yields this way.
