how long till

i'm doing a wild ferment with cheesecloth, how long do i wait till i seal the jar with the metal lid? will the fermentation continue after sealing it? after you seal it, do you want to burp the jar every so often to release gas?

It depends, yes and yes.
 
You can still do a wild ferment with a sealed environment. Why didn't you use an airlock? You don't have to use a lab and let the fermentation happen naturally. While keeping it safe from nasties. Using cabbage leaf method for waying down mash. This also helps start fermentation. :)
