wuddup. I just wanted to introduce myself and start off by sayin the shroomery is fuckin sick. Im a newb to mycology but I have experience with growin pot witch is just a lil too risky for me right now so I figured i'd give this a try. I got all the supplys and followed the PF tek and 4- 1/2 pint jars are in my lil pressure cooker right now. I just wanted to know what i should do after the cooker cools down because I havent received my spores yet and i also wanted to make sure no contaminants form for a couple of days b4 i inoculate. Any suggestions would be great. My bad for the long ass post

Inoculations are best carried out right after they have cooled enough to be inoculated.
But u can leave them in the PC until u get your spores.
U can leave one where u plan to incubate and leave it for a week, if nothing shows its good.
But with a pressure cooker its really hard to go wrong, i would just dive in and knock up ur jars once they are cool (leave overnightis best after PC)
While your waiting on spores make a glovebox if u have not done so already.
Great simple peice of kit for carrying out sterile operations

You probable should have pced them wrapped in foil. I would leave them in the pc until the spores arrive. next time wait until you have the spores in hand.

U dont want to let an unsterilised jar sitting around to long, i made that mistake when i didnt make enough pf mix and just closed up a jar that was half full. Came back to it a few days later and it smelled so bad.
If u have a glove box, transfer the sterilised jars to your nicely cleaned glovebox. And leave there till your spores arrive, PC your remaining to jars and transfer to glove box.
You can give the glovebox a quick spray of lyol/bleach before closing up and leaving just to make sure.
Your inoc holes should be covered so nothing can fall in, if u have done everything right, then there will be tinfoil covering the lid.

so while the PC cools down in a few hours these unsterilized jars should be ok? The holes are taped and the lids are on loose and then covered with tin foil. Thanks man

another stupid question... now that ive made a glove box should i put the sterilized jars in there with the lids loose as they would be during incubation, to check for contaminants, or should i tighten them until i get my spores? Thanks for the help

The jars sitting waiting to be sterilised will be fine waiting for the PC to be cool,
ONce its cool put the sterilised jars into your glovebox that has been cleaned, and leave in a clean cupboard out of harms way until your spores arrive.
Any contams will show themselfs in a couple days to a week.
As for tightening the jar lids i think that u should, but dont quote me on that as i dont use canning jars with lids, i use drinking glasses wth tinfoil. I just checked teh teks and it doesnt mention it
