How do I dunk a casing?
    #1171224 - 12/26/02 09:40 AM (22 years, 26 days ago)

I ended up getting MASSIVE overlay on one casing and it dried out bigtime. All the fruits aborted after about 2inches of growth, the sides pulled away about an inch and a half. So its very dry. Wondering how Id dunk this casing ??. Just pour water over it?

Pour water into the container so it completely covers the casing, then let it sit for how ever long you want to dunk it for. When the time is up, use a piece of aluminum foil and put it over the top of the container. Then, push it down so it touches the casing and flip it over while holding the casing in and drain the water out. Make sure all the excess water is out before you put it back in the incubator or fruiting chamber.

you may also want to look into scratching(again, look in the faq) the overlay, and then inducing a cold-shock/dunk... dunking procedure as follows, use 200:1 water:bleach (hippie), pour water on side of casing container until water is 1/4" from bottom of casing layer,
dunk about 12 hours, maybe 24 for spent casings, mist casing layer before draining(this helps keep it in place), drain by pouring out one corner (assuming your usin rectangular in nature trays), some use holes in the bottom of containers and simply set one container in another without holes(joshua). pm me any ?'s
