i inoculated my 1/2 pint jars a little more than a week ago and recently i noticed a lot of new growth and it was spreading, but when i looked at them today the mycelium was starting to dissolve from the inside out. the jars were getting light for about 13 hours a day.
ive covered them now, will it still grow?

did you read any guide or anything on how to do it?
did you put the jars in a pressure cooker to kill all the germs and bacteria? I guess not since you never covered your jars and you have to cover them before they get put into the pressure cooker.
the growth could be contamination,what colour is the growth? , i think the jars will most likly be contaminated , can you post some pictures?

I agree what youve done isnt the brightest thing. I dont however think you need to just toss them. Assuming they were PCd correctly your mycelium should be the only thing germinating there. Get them into a TiT and monitor growth, at the same time gather materials to start a new grow in case this one is botched.
Although Mycelium should be put in complete darkness, I dont forsee light exposure being an irreversible mistake. Give them a week to ten days in incubation and post us some pics.
Anything other then white mycelium is a contam and the jars should be disposed of. If mycelium continues colonization, it is a good sign that they will recoup accordingly.
Good luck,
Kido

this is what you need to do. read the teks about 10 times. you abviously dont understand the fully because not only have you left out the cover for the jars but you are giving them light while incubating.read read read untill you know everything by heart

lemon he never said he left off the covers of the jars. He said he was giving the jars light and he is now going to cover them.
He certainly shouldn't be giving them light, but judging as best as I can (from his ambiguity), he didn't take the covers off of the jars.
Kido, good response, most people around here like to jump all over newbs.

Giving them light while they are colonizing isn't exactly a bad thing. Look into invitro tek. It says that you need to give the jars light from the beginning. I'm not sure if the light did the damage to the myc, I think it might just slow down colonization and induce pinning.

hello myfriendly, good day to you. i was judging by the title of the post that he didnt cover his jars at all. also the fact that he said he covered them a week after inoculation. please dont follow me around my post and say im jumping on newbs now. i told him exactly what he needs to do. you can tell he doesnt understand the process fully so he needs to read, i read everything a bunch of times and everybody else will have to do the same to fully understand. and shroomsbrr you are right about invitro but the odds of this being what he is doing is rare cause he is a newb. and if this is what your doing im sorry.

oh man, growing shrooms is not for a weed grower or a stoner. i had the lids on, lol, i just didnt cover the jars from the light. i sterilized them in boiling water for more than 2 hrs... i followed the Simple Cubensis Growing Tek, and it didnt mention anything about keeping them out of light.
the "mycelium" looked like a thick white fuzz, and there were 2 blobs of fuzz in each jar, but the other day the fuzz started to dissolve from the inside of the blobs out. i just checked one now and theres basically just a white outline of the white blobs that used be there. blobs a pretty funny word. ill get pics by the end of this weekend.
i am gonna do another 2 or maybe 4 (ive got a little more than 4cc's left) jars this weekend and use a pressure a cooker this time round. this was just a test run anyways. has anyone else in shroomery history made this mistake?
if anyone could send me a resourceful link itd be appreciated.
thanks for all the feedback

sometimes the mycelium can get crushed down and look like its dieing but it comes back. try not to handle the jars to much. welcome by the way the shroomery will help you on any questions you may have just try to explain exactly what you are talking about cause it can get very confusing.

lol, lemon has a stalker. Ummm well read the teks, they'd help you a lot. I read this one on brf cakes, it's pretty good, but here's several links to help you with our vernacular speech around here and some things that might help. Gl.
Tells you how to build an incubator but mainly explains the environemt your jars need to be in and may explain a few vernacular terms
http://www.mycotopia.net/site/article.php?24.255
This is a site to a bunch of teks, and well they explain pretty much everything lol, Gl
http://www.mycotopia.net/site/article.php?2.255
Well I hope that helps and after you read some post back or hell Pm(private message) me and i'll see how I can help, Well Gl and hopefully your next attempt won't be made in vain, you usually get out what you put in....later

I was wondering if I was reading it wrong, glad I wasnt. I would hate to have him throw out his jars over a little light. No big deal.
