Water in substrate during sterilization
    #7637015 - 11/14/07 07:26 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

What problems will occur (if any) if you get a little water in your substrate (Verm/BRF) during sterilization.

eg. Water bubbled into jars during pressure cook sterilization.

many.

first off, the vermiculite filter is wet.
which means it can't work right.
which means it will actually wick contams into the substrate.

secondly, the extra water in there will throw off your percentages
and possibly stall or stop growth.

thirdly, that extra water that might just become standing in the
bottom of the jar is perfect for bacteria to form in and bloom
if those jars are put into an incubator.

personally I would open them, scrape out the verm on top,
put new dry verm in there, and re-pc them with foil on this time.
I would not use them as is.
