How long can prepared WBS jars sit before PC?

Yes, I did do a search for this but couldn't find anything. Early this morning (6/9) I prepared 20 WBS pint jars in anticipation of receving my new PC via UPS at some point today. They're all ready to go with the tyvek, polyfil, and 2 layers of foil. When I got home from work I found out that something got screwed up with the shipment and now I won't receive the PC until Weds 6/14. Will that be too long to let them sit while I'm waiting for the PC? Considering that they have 2 layers of foil, how long before they would start to dry out? TIA.

Yeah, drying out isn't a concern. If your window is that far ahead, dump them and re-do the jars then.

In general, colonizing jars is a race between mycelium and contaminants over who can take over the jar first. If you wait 5 days before you inject, two things are going to happen.
1) You're going to give contaminants a 5-day head start.
2) You're giving the jars 5 days to lose precious moisture.
I would strongly suggest that you simply ditch the WBS, eat the $3 you paid for it, buy a new bag and redo the jars once the syringes arrive.

i just had the exact thing happen with my jars (its also my first attempt at growing).
i prep'd 2 sets of jars; 1 set i left sitting for 3 (i think) days then prep'd another set, sterilized each (in the exact same way) and inoculated all the next morning. within 24hrs (yesterday evening) every one of the set i prep'd several days before were bright pink with contam and the other set were fine. so yeh thats a lesson i learnt the hard way.

Well I find that whith jars that are left out for more than 24 hours my wbs will begin to sprout shortly after the bacteria I allowed to germinate will multiply so as stated before you have a short period before pcing especially that more endospores will be created during that time.
