important dunking question!
    #6929380 - 05/17/07 10:03 AM (16 years, 10 months ago)

I just thought of an important pitfall when dunking!

When you've birthed your cake you have to clean it from aborts right? but won't that make your cake have exposed parts(missing mycelia from removed aborts)? Won't that give you contams when you dunk?

You shouldn't let any shrooms grow before dunking. If it happens, pick them and D&R anyhow.

He's talking about dunks subsequent to the first flush.

supposedly dunking before the first flush is the best. just after you've birthed it

Dunk and roll after birth and after every flush. But to answer your question, I have found the first flush to yield the most shrooms, while subsequent flushes yield larger shrooms (BRF cakes). I can't speak for everyone else.

Yes, dunk and roll after birthing. After each flush, leave the cake alone for a week or two (even letting it dry out a bit), and then do another dunk.

Do not let the cake dry out. WTF?

Spooning water in the divot of the cake is fine as well as fine misting. Just dont soak pins or shrooms.

Where did this crumbly cake tek come from?

This is an RR-advocated method.

Quote from this post:

"After picking a flush, allow the substrate to 'rest' for several days to a week. Let it dry out somewhat during this time. A substrate will not flush again right away. After the 'rest period', give it an overnight soak to bring the moisture content back up and place into fruiting conditions. Dunking right away is counterproductive because the mycelium is dormant for a few days and the dunk only supplies moisture to the contaminant molds that might be present, then it dries out before that moisture is actually needed for the next flush."

Mycelium is pretty strong stuff once it has fully colonized the cake. Don't sweat it. Just be sure that you pick all the little pins off before you dunk. I have found it easier to spot them once you rinse the cake off before dunking. BTW: rinse your cakes before and after dunking (just before you roll).
