I respectfully disagree with a 12-24 hour dunk....I think that dunking for 5-6 hours is a great idea, not for 12-24. If its the same depth as a normal tub sub then follow the same directions for dunking a normal tub. Just because it has a larger length and width doesn't mean you should dunk it longer, it will take almost the same amount of time to hydrate.... Put a bunch of water in it using your bath tub and weigh it down with something so that it stays under water...May have to tip that bad boy a few times in all directions to get the water drained out
Took a few edits to get this post right but oh well...

I only mentioned distilled because my buddy had nasty tap water that would infect his grows.

Do you guys think this is colonized enough to put into fruit conditions after dunking? It's been colonizing for 13 days.

I say give it another 3 days after another heavy misting and then possibly dunk if growth continues enough...

Generally, if you can drink your tap water it's safe for your grow.

I'd let it go for a few more days.
For bulk dunking the 4-6 hours is ideal.
Distilled or tap will work. ( If you don't like your tap go with distilled to ease your mind )
If it's so dry you can tell a noticeable difference in the weight, then you might want to dunk her. If it's just top portion that looks dry, give it a good misting. Might have to do more and heavier misting depending on how dry it is where you live.
