Sterilized Jars Storage Question
    #8980203 - 09/24/08 06:47 PM (15 years, 6 months ago)

I started my first grow today.

Due to my lack of a PC, i ordered presterilized jars from mycopath.com, which arrived timely within 10 days i believe.

I knocked up 4/12 jars and ended up using 75% of a 10cc syringe. I flamed the needle between jars and sprayed down small bathroom with lysol.

My question is, can i seal the box back up and store those sterilized jars in my closet until my next grow attempt?

ive setup a shotgun FC for my closet. I live in florida and have a MONSTER computer in my room so my room is hotter than the rest of the house, im sure its 80 or above.

Yes, you definately can.  Just make sure you follow sterilization procedures properly, and don't dehydrate your jars!  Peace.

1 syringe should do 10 jars atleast. Just make sure you shake it to stir around the spores. 80 plus is hot to be honest. you want ur temps from 70-80 degrees.  Check ur temps first to make sure what your constant temp is. Room temp is great for colonization.. 76 degrees. ... 84 degrees is what you dont want to go beyond. I have a outdoor patch thats fruiting at mid 60s... it takes longer but it still works.

Its recomended to use your sterilised substrate quickly, leaving it for a period of time will allow the substrate to dry out.

If your not leaving it for very long you will be fine. I have always used them as soon as cooled.

I would recomend using a glovebox for all inoculation procedures.

So what should be my course of action? Should i order another syringe and noc up the rest of the jars even if i dont have enough space to fruit them?

I dont want to waste the $70 i spent on presterilized jars.. to be honest i was gunna fruit 4 cakes as a trail then do the rest.

Should i just space the innoculations of batches a week or two apart?

I only have one small shotgun FC, probably enough for 6 cakes, but i have 12 presterilized jars, which arrived in the mail yesterday.

get another syring, noc up all your jars, and get a couple more FC's.  You won't regret a huge harvest.

Well you see, i just have a small area in my bedroom closet to use. I really only have room for one FC, and the smallest amount of jars i could order was 12.

I just inoculated 2 more jars with the rest of the syringe, and i will order another strain for the remaining 6 jars and hope the dont dry out within a month of storage at florida room temp

Stack the cakes once colonized, so if you can fit 6 stack em and you can fit 12

:thumbup:



prolecat,

I would inoculate the substrate...

let the mycelium fully colonize the jars...

then store the jars in your frig til you are ready to use it.

I second that :foshizzle: inoculate then when they reach like 90-100% colonization store them in the frig to slow them down..

can't really afford another syringe right now :frown:





Depends on how long you are going to have them laying around.

If you are planning on waiting til you get some fruits and make some spore prints of your own to make up some more syringes...
that might not work.

The longer your jars lay around the more chances your substrate has to dry out or get a contam growing in them.

The faster you can inoculate your sterilized substrate jars...
the better!~

i really appreciate your guys' help. Ive been a longtime reader, this is my first post asking for help, i must admit the community is a bit intimidating, but you guys are so awesome. such a wealth of knowledge on here, and alot of traffic!

So i decided to order another syringe, i chose Mexican because i just read that B+ can be slow :frown:. i used http://www.micro-supply.com, i found them to be fast and discrete shippers.

I will inoculate the last 6 jars with the mexican strain, and try to be a bit more conservative with the syringe this time.

Do you guys think maybe using 2cc's per jar will speed up the B+ colonization? they are sealed up in a styrofoam cooler in my closet, how long until i should take a peak? when i do should i dim the lights, what other precautions should i take? Should i take them into the bathroom and do the whole lysol thing again? I left the tinfoil over the tops of the jars.

Im trying to reduce the chances for contams since i paid $65 for presterilized jars

70$ is alot! now that you have the jars, make your own substrate mix.

You dont need a pressure cooker for the pf tek.
