can i make it a few days b4 my prints arrive? not sure when my prints will get here, but using Otto's LC tek, can i boil up some honey water early and have them sit in a sterile environment until my prints make it here, or should i wait till i have everything.
btw, this week old LC from a syringe of Koh Samui isnt really doing much. just a lil layer of white cloudy on the bottom. any thoughts???

Looks like a lot of honey was added in to it. Looks like that is either honey at the bottem or some kind of contam. Picture is kinda blurry.

Sure, LC usually lasts about 2-3 months without refrigeration, with refrigeration, 6 months maybe tops.

yeah, i know i didnt add too much, i went under what most ppl use, bcuz i read someone who seemed like a reputable sources suggestions of using as little as possible, i used like 3/4 of a tsp, and i think it calls for 1tbsp/250 ml....
ooops maybe i added way too little, i didnt realize those 1/2pints are about 250 ml ive got about 200ml of water in it, and added, like i said, 3/4 of a tsp
either way, after i get done stirring/swirling it, most of the water turns cloudy, and there are several marker tip sized clumps of white shit in there....is this one trash? if so can i PC to clean it, and with the tek im using, how can i substiture a PC for just boiling, i feel safer PC'ing now after using one for the first time recently

The cool thing about making it early would be that if you notice any growth you know it's not what you want.

I think it's safe to assume you could make LC a month prior to inoculation, not ideal, but I don't see why you couldn't wait 30 days or more.

if you shoot up one jar with a full syringe of LC you will know within a week generally if it is good or contaminated
this seems to be the only way

Yes you can. It's easier to control carmelization though if you boil because you can actually check to see whats going on.
