Title: Dunking question
Post by: Baphom3t on March 02, 2007, 04:07:51 AM
Good day all,
I was gonna do the dunk tek of pouring distilled water in my trays,(I got that from another set of forums)unfortunatly I noticed upon doing this tek that may trays have small holes in the bottom of them.
what is the best method of dunking them since this is the case for me?
And since the cakes like to float what can i put on them to keep them in their trays?
Thanks,
Baph

first off with the dunking you can take a sterile pitcher and fill it with distilled water and dunk them in it then roll them in dry vermiculite and place them on the trays which you will have lined with clay pellets that you can find in a pet store or a hydroponics store. remember to wet the pellets or your fruiting chamber wont have enough moisture.
best of luck

thanks man.
I said "cakes" when i have cased trays Doh!
I just took the ones with the holes in them and put them in a bigger tray then just filled them with distilled water,seems to work great cause now I'm seeing a 2nd flush from those trays.

I wonder if you could use a nylon stocking around the tray?
