q1: what color is mycelium suppost to be? mine had turned hes color from white into greenishbluish color and i notice more yellow spots growing on the side (future pinheads) but im not sure if its a healthy color that the mycelium has. q2: in the kit instruction it says that i should water the spawn every two days and that means that tommorow i should water it once again, but tomorrow im leaving to montreal in 5am (technically today) and im definatily not gonna remember that i have to water it in the rush. so is it k if i water the shrooms earlier, like right now (usually i water them in the morning)?

Greenish = Not good Bluish = Just bruising...Try scraping off the blueish part...if it comes off, thats bad and a contam...if not..then it's jsut bruising  Yellowish = typically just myc. piss.
Water them as in Mist, not like cannibis...
A light mist is all you need...You don't want pools of water at all.

Mycelium is white.
The greenblue could be bruising, no big deal.
The yellow is mycelium waist, no necessarily a bad thing either.

2: How exactly do you plan on watering it? Standing water is bad. And you definitely don't want to soak/saturate the mycelium as that will inhibit the formation of primordia. Take Ignostic's advice on misting.
And if you get the chance sometime soon, pick up a bag of perlite from the garden section of a walmart or something. You can saturate the perlite by mixing it w/ water then pouring off the excess, then line the bottom of your grow chamber w/ it. It will keep humidity high, and you won't need to mist daily.

Use a spray bottle, and turn the nozzle so that when the water sprays out, it's a very soft, fine mist, rather than a hard stream.

k ive planted the spores like 3 weeks ago and the jar wasnt showing any sights of life at all as i was adding alittle of water. but 4 days ago ive extremly encreased the watering and ever since the mycelium had turned into that greeblue color i was telling about (i think its more blue now im gonna check up on it in a couple of minutes). ive also noticed some rings that look like foil growing on the sides of the spawn but now theyve dissolved.

ive checked on the spores and the color is more bluish rather than greenish. also most of the mycelium had turned white again and i almost got an bacteria in by almost crushing the lightbulb inside the open jar . another q: when im going to be fruiting how am i going to take the soil out of the jar without breaking it up?

If you have jars with shoulders...Then you should have thought about that BEFORE you bought them lol.
That's like putting a basketball in a bucket..inflating it...Then trying to get it out without breaking the bucket or poping the ballon.
Looks like you're going to be doing casings my friend

Shouldn't really lol.
Why don't you just break up the substrate and then case it? I've got a bunch of great links that would help.

Damn, I hear ya...But don't feel so bad...
I pc-ed about 50lbs worth of wbs...all for nothing...My pc is only big enough for 4 quart jars at a time...and i did about...8-9 hours worth of pc-ing...and i read abunch...I slept every other day....yeh, it really sucked, esp. since NONE of the jars came out right...moisture content was FUCKEd every time.
So, it can't be as bad as that

no the worst part is i have 3 hours to read all of that text and take the soil out. so basically what i should do is use the sterile fork to pour it all out into the plastic bag and seal it for a couple of days?
thanks for the links. the first one i opened alredy helped

k it says there that i should wait until the growth cover the top of all the soil before i put the soil in a bag so ive decided to let them be in a case until monday. on monday the growth should cover the top of all the soil (boy if i could only get a hundred dollar bill for every time i say that . no, make it a $1000 or more ). then ill pour it out in a bag that i dont have right now anyway (maybe i do but itll take me time to find it anyways) let grow in there and then put it inside the proper spawn. and to make sure ill do it right this time i guess ill be doing it sober. P.S. do smoke plan kids . make a healthy choiche and smoke sess instead or at least dont do it when u have to do something with a kit or ull suffer like i suffer now .

Hmm I feel kinda bad for you as you seem pretty confused about what to do with your kit...but sadly I can't really make out how your kit works. Your speaking about grains in jars, then soil in jars, then putting it into a plastic bag for a couple days and then adding it to the proper spawn??
All I can imagine is that you have a jar of grains, which u have to let colonize first. Since they are grains (I think I read somewhere in your thread that there were grains in there) theres no problem with having shoulders on your jars, just shake them up and pour them out. You could then utilize this colonized grain as a spawn for horse poo or straw or something (not sure what you kit is all about), or easier would be to just pour it straight from the jar into one of those aluminum cooking trays and case it directly.
if that helps at all...
