Title: Dunknrolldunknrolldunknroll
Post by: Vandal_xx on February 25, 2010, 04:58:13 PM
So I know that after birthing my BRF cakes, I should dunk in cold water for 12-24 hours in cold water and roll em in some dry verm. After reading many other posts I have concluded that it is best to dunk and roll after every flush as to moisten them up for the next flush. I was looking for someone with experience as to how long to dunk them after the first flush. Also, what might be some pros and cons to dunking them longer or shorter.
Hope to have my first 4 Pints ready to birth in 2 weeks or less. Colonizing fast, but not fast enough.. ha ha it's never fast enough is it?
Thanks guys

@ least 12 hours but no longer than 24. Less than 12 they won't hydrate enough and longer than 24 opens up possibilities to contamination.

Sweet dub.... I'll try the 24 hour dunk between flushes. Can't wait to post pics of the "fruits" of my labor. Well actually of the myceliums labor, but whatever. I hope I am successful.

The ver you grind up fine is for the roll? I figure as much but want to be sure. What is the difference in getting it fine or leaving it as is?
