Is Not dunking fine
    #14022646 - 02/24/11 09:43 PM (13 years, 9 days ago)

My jars have shown major rizomorphic growth, my theory is cause, I would keep them on a high shelf in an area about 65-70 degrees with good gas exchange, then I would stick them under a heating pad on low for several hours then turn pad off for many hours and repeat. Anyway, one of my jars has like 4 pins starting so I decided to put it in fruiting chamber without dunking, is this fine.
These jars probably took 15 days in all.

your fine but they would do much better with a dunk. your agressive growth is just genetics
also no need for the heating pad

I would drop the whole heating pad thing you got going on.
A dunk is prefered to rehydrate it before it fruits, but youll be fine. Just remember for next time to dunk, and do it after your first harvest etc etc.

Goodluck:thumbup:

most of your moisture in your jars are gone, they will still perform just nowhere near as good as if you replenished the water with a good 24 hour dunk, then roll.

If its not good I don't want their moisture gone.

yes your perlite will be fine..

and once you put back into fruiting conditions each time you mist your cakes you're going to be misting your perlite as well..

By dunking do I just fill a tupperware container with tap water and put the cakes in, then put it in fridge over night or at room temperature?

put something on top of the cakes to hold them under the water...and you can dunk at room temp.

you can put them in a pot, and put a small plate or something on top of them..with something heavy to hold them down....a brick, a jar of water, anything really
