Dunking bulk subs ?'s

So, I've (gasp) never dunked my subs. Just let em fruit out for a bit and restarted, but after lookin at some vets results I believe I could have a rather good second (maybe) even third flush(not just a handful of shrooms).
Not sure if it was Eatu's journal or Fahts but they recommend to blast the top of the substrate with the water hose on your sink, to knock off debris and aborts and shit.
Anyone else try this? Seems like a good idea in conjunction w/ dunking bulks. I always do uncased so no real hassle there(as others find cased may be a bit more in weight but smaller fruits = more work).
Input prz!

I watered my last tray with a steady drip after the first flush, until it was flooded. Let it sit for a few minutes and the drained it well. It fruited larger fruits afterwards, but my sub was dry and needed it. I suppose the loose density of my sub with a lot of coir and some gypsum was loose enough to be hydrated after such a short time, whereas cakes take 24 hours to rehydrate. I wouldn't have done it were it not for the fact that I could tell my sub was dried out. The container was very light, and the surface was visibly drier. The edges of the sub were drawn in too, though this may not have been due solely to the lack of moisture. After soaking it and draining it was noticeably heavier. I don't think it could hurt you to try it out, just make sure you get all the standing water out.

No, I mean is it best to blast off anything growing after the first flush? Obviously aborts but everything?
Would the second flush be more prolific?

i just mist heavy for the next 3-4 days after each flush or you can dunk but most dont dunk bulk for more than 5-10 hours

OP- It's Eatyualive that has talked about doing that. Here's one of his posts: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/9795578#9795578
I actually briefly discussed this with him in some messaging between us. He's just sprays the substrate until there's enough water in there for the dunk, than puts a weight or two on top of the substrate to hold it under. But he told me he doesn't do it really often. ~P~
EDIT: Also, it is a good idea to wait a couple days after the flush finishes before you dunk the substrate. There is a couple/few day break inbetween flushes.

Well I'm def gonna try dunking this time, before I would just pour water into the bottom of the tub from the edge where the sub pulled away and let it sit there for a day before draining off but I don't think it hydrated the entire thing.
I've misted heavily before but with really big flushes misting doesn't really do much for me in expanding my subs. I grow OI though so the fruits are huge uncased and they suck up a shit ton of water.

it dose and letting that water sit like that is not a good idea. but if you did the top is good to.

eat the aborts
-------------------- i don't know, but i know i don't know. i'm sure i know this. if you can't grow it don't take it
it wants me to get involved, but i won't. if i get involved why would i come back? I'll just set here and watch. it will be better for now to stay here. but i sure would like to get involved...

So after a dunk, it's just popped back in the tub again as fire and forget?
