How long does,

LC take to finish?

Grain Jars to Colonize 100%?

I am trying to schedule my inoculations acordingly becuase I;m leaving on vacation and want my LC to be done and my jars to be inoculated before I leave.

Timing on these things is completely subjective on a hundred different things - sometimes it's faster, sometimes it's slower. But more importantly, I would suggest you just wait until you come back from holiday to start your project.

Grains are tricky if you let them over-colonize as they will eventually turn into a solid block inside your jar if they're not tended to.

Liquid cultures may seem slightly more forgiving but if you don't have a really good method to break up the mycelium and a very large gauge syringe, you'll have troubles getting it out as well if it's left too long.

Keep in mind that inoculating or whatever in front of a flow hood won't help your bad substrate, your bad inoculant, your bad sterile procedure, etc. etc. etc. It's not a +3 flowhood of magic, it's just a tool.

You can use LC as soon as it starts to colonize, so the answer to your question relies upon how much LC you plan on using. I have seen grain jars inoculated with approximately 3cc LC colonize within ten days or so, but nothing is written in stone. Just make sure you shake up your jars pretty well after innoculating with the LC.
