How Long Can Jars Sit Without Sterilization?
    #7985803 - 02/06/08 08:07 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

I made around a dozen jars using vermiculite and BRF, put the layer of verm. on top, put the top on and taped up the holes. i was planning on sterilizing right away but due to some unforeseen circumstances i wasn't able to get around to doing it for about 2 days. My question is this: should i dump them and start over since the extended period of time could have let something else start to colonize the jars, or would the act of sterilizing them be enough to kill whatever is in there and once I inoculate they'll be fine?
-Appreciate any help I can get =]

you're fine, sterilize when you can but there really is no need for an urgent rush

once you sterilize (properly) you will kill anything that started to grow in there. the only thing you have to worry about is the jars drying up but that won't happen in a matter of days, it would be more like a matter of weeks or months

however, if you do happen to see significant mold growth then it would probably be best to properly dispose of the infected jars and start a new batch, but this is very unlikely as we are talking about a matter of days, not weeks or months

You should be fine. Keep them in a cool place. Warm temps will accelerate the bad stuff. PC as soon as you can.

Wait wait wait. I would say 2 days max. Kick your parents out of the house and get cooking.

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.
