Ok so i am getting ready to put my spores inside my jars, i am using the Shroom Wizard s Grow Guide since this is my first time. My question is, my spore syringes do not come in until tuesday or wednesday of next week, Now can i sterilize my jars by boiling, tighten the lids and let them sit in the shelf for a few days until i get my syringes in? Is that ok? Thanks!

Put some foil on the lids to hold the moisture in and store them in the fridge. They will be okay for a few weeks that way. Old jars lose moisture, and proper moisture content can make or break (figuratively, of course) a jar. GL.

do i need to do anything special to the jars once i have received my spore syringes? Like leave them out of the fridge for so many hours before putting my spores in them?

Let them warm up to room temperature, then inoculate. GL.

one more question so EXACTLY how long will these jars last in the fridge? My spores should be in fri OR sat, so they will have been sitting in the fridge for less than a week, with foil on the lids, is there anything special i need to do, due to lost of moisture or just inoculate and let it do its thing?

If you're gonna store the jars in the fridge, make sure it's clean.. i.e. no moldy bread, old food, etc. There's probably more random bacterial spores in the fridge than anywhere else in the house. Just something to consider..

K so another question, I have 2 dozen jars in the fridge well i did the first dozen the way it says to in the Shroom Wizards Grow Guide by not putting holes in the top of the jar lids and not putting a dry layer of vermic. ontop, just boiled tightend lids and set them in the fridge until i get my syringes, 2nd dozen i did it how it says in the The Magic Mushrooms Growers Guide That says to put 4 holes on top do the dry layer of vermic. Etc... which i did. So NOW i have 2 dozen 1 done each way. After doing lots more research ive found that putting holes in the jar lids is the best way to go due to gas exchange etc... My question IS! Should i just inoculate the jars with no holes in the lids and let it do its thing see what happens, OR should i open them (put foil over the jars until im ready to put the lids back on) put holes in the lids put in the dry layer of vermic. and them re boil them to re sterilize them? Will i get contaminates from opening the jars EVEN though i can reboil them? Or is it just best to inoculate them in a clean room or clean box and let it grow? Thanks everyone!
