popcorn

I am going to sterilize some popcorn jars soon. I know the popcorn needs to sit in water for 24 hours before simmer, jar and then sterilization. I am not sure if I will be able to sterilize the jars after 24 hours or not, is it ok to have the popcorn soak in the water for over 24 hours.....like 48 hours or so, then put into the jars for sterilization?
I am only using the popcorn because I always seem to have great colonization with it.
let me know
thanks

corn probly, but not grain because the grain begins to germinate in 36-48 hours...

Thanks. I will probably get to it tomorrow, its just that we are live with our new Meditech software conversion tomorrow at 3am so I will have to stay at work for at least 13 hours and Im not sure if I will be up for jarring and sterilizing by then.
thanks for your input

It's best not to soak too long. Many bacterial endospores once germinated, begin to form new endospores very soon. I'd stick to 24 hours. Simply begin the soak sooner.
Note to previous poster: If you rinse the grains in hot tap water first, they don't sprout. RR

personally, I've had pretty bad experiences with popcorn. My jars always colonized pretty quick, but it never worked that well as a spawn. Give it a shot, hopefully it will work for you. I've moved on to WBS, probably gonna get some rye eventually.

Try not to go over 24 hour soak. Just start soaking it the night before you go to work and drain it well when you get home. popcorn is a very good substrate it just costs more than wbs etc.

indeed. Never had contams with it either, except for a jar that I stupidly let sit next to my open window. Some people said it made fruits less potent but that's not true, they probably need to check their proceedures. My avatar was grown with cased popcorn.

Check out my "faster germination popcorn" tek. It's not picture filled, but it works to germinate your popcorn substrate about ten days faster. It just takes a little more work, but its worth it. My sig was made from popcorn spawned to horse poo.
