    rehydrating PF cake jars HELP!

    Ok so I used a method similar to this one:

    http://forums.mycotopia.net/steriliz...re-cooker.html (Fractional Sterilization - mushrooms without a pressure cooker.)

    Except I boiled my pf cake jars for 4 days, and on the last day I left the jars on the stove for too long. Damn, well I decided that I would try and grow in them any way and it worked for 7 of 12 jars so far. 3 of 4 hawiians are growing 4 of 4 Cambodians are growing and 0 of 4 Equadorians are growing. Anyone know if the EQs take longer to grow? they have been incubating for 9 days now (all jars)

    I have seen absolutely no signs of contams in any jars. I don't think that the substrate has been burned as the pot they were boiling in never ran out of water I do think that the jars themselves need water though.

    Here is what I propose:

    I want to fill a syringe with well sterilized water, maby even boil the syringe? and rehydrate the jars by injecting them with more water anyone think this will work?

    Yes/No it will work answers. With an explanation or link would be of great help.

    Thanks guys
    ps I posted some pix of the best growing Cambo and Haw for all to see

    do not rehydrate colonizing jars..
    you will have to wait for it to fully colonize then you can dunk..

    its only been 9 days.. those jars in the pictures look good.. just be patient..
