About to lose power, what should I do?

Quick question you guys...
I'm in FL about to get hammered by category 4 hurricane matthew, and losing power for days is a guarantee.. I have 2 quart jars of rye that are a cunthair away from being fully colonized..
Now when we lose power and a/c, the house is going to be a toasty 85-88 degrees after the storm.. I'm not sure if I should leave the jars be, or go ahead and spawn to trays.. Can the spawned trays colonize in these temps?
My other option is to keep the rye in the jars.. Would temps that high toast my jars? I could also put the jars in an iced down cooler that we will be using for food.. Would this keep the jars too cold?
Just struggling on what to do here.. We're about to have big problems in a matter of hours but if I can save this grow I would really like to.. Any help is much appreciated..

I don't have anything to say about helping you with your problem, but...
You sure it's wise to give out your location so freely?

Do not spawn your uncolonized grain to bulk, you're guaranteed to fail. They can colonize at those temps but, the nasties like those temps. They won't toast. They will grow faster. Don't cold shock them either.
Chances are the high winds will cool the air around the house and it won't be as hot inside.
If you do anything other than leave them be until they are 100%, your gonna kill the grow.
I know you want other people's opinions so just wait and see what others say when they weigh in.

I wouldn't touch em. If they're pretty much fully colonized then they should be free of contams. Leave them in the jars for a few days till you have the environment suitable for spawning then crack em open and setup your grow.

If your windows are boarded or shuttered closed you could crack the window in an unoccupied room to cool it as well. If you have a sunroom or screened porch and a card board box you could put them outside in the box for cooler temps too. Use the wind to help?

I'd just leave them alone, they'll be fine for a few days. It's cubensis after all.

no, they won't. posting a city isn't that bad, who even knows if you're telling the truth anyway? There's a lot of people in my city.

I was on an island in florida during the last major hurricane that hit the east coast, and my drunk ass was on the beach staring at the chaos that used to be an ocean, 40-foot waves and wind blowing so hard the fucking sand was shredding my clothes, and I lived. Your jars will be alright.

I think this is bad advice.

That's fine. The guy is buggin because of the storm. I told him a few times not to worry,open, or do any thing drastic with his uncolonized jars.
It wasn't advice per say, but mere alternatives to freaking out about a couple of days of elevated temperature.
Besides, cracking a window during a hurricane or storm does nothing but alleviate the pressure differential and would aid in helping windows that aren't boarded or shuttered from shattering. Jars outside in the wind is a little more risky.

Yea the risk of failure would be much higher if you open an unfinished jar as opposed to leaving them be in elevated temps.

Starting to pick up a bit in cocoa.. Prolly blowin about 40.. Power is flicking on and off sporadically.. Looks like there might not be a brevard landfall and it might stay just offshore.. As opposed to yesterday's track that showed the center of the storm going straight up merritt island literally a mile from my house.. THAT was a scary track.. And I also found out that my house is on the same grid as the elementry school a couple hundred yards away so we'll be one of the first to get power back so the jars may not be in as much jeopardy as I originally thought..
Thanks for all the advice yall!

fuckin obama. thats his face in that storm. clear proof hes the devil and global warming is a liberal conspiracy funded by the chinese.
considering where OP lives electricity shouldnt have any major effect on your grow. if possible you could put in a room with ambient daylight.
might get hot af tho which would f-up a fc but if your at the colonizing stage id be more worried about clean water/food :p

This storm was no big deal.... I ended the day like any other,.....boned the wife and went through bed lol. The power flickered a bunch and I heard the generator kick on a few times in the middle off the night.

I wonder how trump is able to stand up, he's shot almost all his toes off with crazy statements like that lol. I don't know what's worse, the shit he says or the fact that people actually buy into his verbal vomit. And don't get me started on Hillarious Clinton.

obama is the first nobel winner to bomb a nobel winner. everyone thinks it was a drone bombing that hit the kunduz hospital but it was actually an ac130 gunship. which has a crew and much more knowledge of their target. hence the crew asking if it was legal they bomb the hospital. Just following orders, no nazi stuff they did it anyway, because orders.
Quote:
The first bombardment targeted the Intensive Care Unit, where an eyewitness nurse said,“Patients were burning in their beds.” And a hospital caretaker said that he could hear women and children, “screaming for help inside the hospital while it was set ablaze by the bombing.”

Boooooom.. Power is back on... Jars never got over 81 degrees.. That one lone jar on the right is sucking ass for some reason

I do have what looks to be a bacterial spot popped up in one of the jars though... Certain it was pre existing.. Hopefully smell will help indicate their condition when I open up to spawn.. Should be ready to spawn soon by the looks of them I would assume
NOOB out

Ok cool, 81 degrees isn't bad although it was probably a few degrees hotter inside the jars. Still ok, not optimal but ok and the jars look ok too. The most colonized in the pic has some bacterial wetness on the grain. The myc seems to be overtaking it (possibly not eliminating it though)
The first jar on the left is almost complete, the second is a day or 2 behind. Spawn them in separate trays. The lagger you should hold on to and spawn when ready, separate of course.
The big indicator of bacterial level will be when you go to break them up. If the clumps at difficult to break up, bacteria is definitely present. You will still be able to get fruits from them. Just pasteurize your CVG properly and skip the hpoo. When you open it you should get punched in the face by a strong pungent mushroom smell. If it's sweet smelling or moldy smelling its bad.

I spawned the one farthest along yesterday morning.. When I opened the jar it was a heavy smell of fresh mushrooms.. Probably stupid but couldn't resist taking a quick peek just now and it looks like a little myc showing.. I was torn on whether to layer or mix and have seen valid arguments for both so this one I decided to mix and the next one I will layer.. Thanks for all your help fellas it's much appreciated.. If you experienced cultivators see anything fucky definitely let me know, criticisms are welcomed because that's what you learn from.. I won't get butthurt at any harshness like a lot of the noobs here do lol..

Get some Saran Wrap on top if you haven't already. Poke holes and cover them with micropore tape. You don't want any grains exposed.

Layering is old shit. Always mix.
No saran wrap. Just put the lid on. A few uncovered grains are just fine

I'm using the lids that came with the trays.. heated up a paperclip and put a hole in each corner plus one in the middle.. You reckon I should micropore tape the holes off?
Also, should I be worried about the condensation inside the tray? In the first pic..

You didn't need the holes. The lid isn't airtight. You definitely don't need to cover the holes you made with micropore
