i had 2 quart jars of rye about 50% colonized and i decided to make a makeshift incubator. long story short, i got a lot of unsterilized water into my jars and now they are sloppy and wet. i opened the lid to drain out excess water. am i completely screwed or do my jars have any chance of drying out and growing without contams?

there is always a chance, but i personally think it isn't worth saving. the moisture content is probably screwed up and I'm guessing that you didn't use a glovebox or flowhood so contams are a real possibility

i dont know why everyone bitches about incubators...the only thing they have ever done for me is speed up my myc growth. if your jars contam, your procedures suck, not your incubator. and i dont know how you could get water into a tub in tub unless you poured water in with your jars or built some other kind of incubator and that is where you went wrong in the first place.

I only suggest not using it for new people as things like this can easily happen.
More experienced growing can however have good results using incubator setups

if you say that then you have probably never used an incubator...but the main reason i use it is when it gets cold i dont like to pay the heat bill to keep my house at 75 degrees all the time. so an incubator pays off because it gets so cold in my place sometimes. no need for it in the summer though. talk to me then and i will agree.
