Dunk and Roll
    #7739284 - 12/10/07 05:35 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)

Hi i'm a new memebr this is my first post.  I have four jars of HUAUTLA.  have been fully colonized for about a week.  This will be my first time using dunk method with BRF cakes.  I want to know if its necessary to dunk for 24hours as i've heard before, what will happen if i dunk for less than 24hrs? also whats the purpose of rolling them in verm?
peace to all the shroomers  :1up:

You can dunk from 1 hour to 24 hours, just make sure you do it in a fridge [to slow down contams]. The shorter you dunk, the less time you're giving the substrate to absorb the water. I've dunked for one and a half hours with a marked improvement, but it would have been a lot better to dunk for 6 or more.

Rolling in dry verm provides a contam barrier and also when you start misting it will trap moisture for the mycelium and also humidity.

The rolling has nothing to do with contaminations. A DRY verm barrier will protect from contams but the verm you roll in is then moistened by misting. The function of the verm is to create a humid microclimate on the surface of the cakes which favours pin formation.

That's true. I only dunked for an hour or so, my verm was pretty dry on the outside half. To be honest dry verm is useless after you've reached 100% colonization anyway, that's the best contam barrier there is along with FAE.

Many thanks for the replies, really helpful. I'm about to birth these suckers. Off now.
Peace
