first flush dunk and roll?
    #14358271 - 04/26/11 10:22 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Hey everyone. I'm  about to fruit my first two brf  cakes EVER...he he he I'm so excited. just a quick question.  Should I dunk and roll, or  just do that after the first flush?  I'm using perlite and  I have a heater next to my terrarium that has adjustable settings. I have a 6400 kelvin/2232 lumens, 24 watt, daylight "sun blaster" florescent. That gives off low heat. So it can be put closer to the shrooms. I know that has nothing to do with my question. I just figured by writing down everything. people might see something they can give me a pointer on. p.s. they are still in the jars. I'm waiting on responses before I take them out.

get rid of the heater, Dunk for 24 hours, roll in dry verm

Mist and fan 30 mins later (mist first, then fan)

cubes are ~90% water. if you want some decent results, then you need to dunk them cakes. i also recommend 24hrs.
then roll them in fine verm.
dunk them again after the first flush is done, but dont roll them again.

getting rid of the heater would bring temp down to 5-15 degrees. I live in canada it's still pretty cold here. I have to keep the heater so it will be in the mid twenty's. since it's outside the chamber it doesn't dry anything out. I'm positive cause I've got a high quality hygrometer.

if you do have use that heater and run into humidity issues you may want move it further away from the terrarium.

i live in an apt and have no control over the heat during the winter. to keep my humidity up high in had to cover it with a blanket and keep a window cracked open.

the terrarium is indoors but my landlord's a hydro Nazi and turns the Temp down to 10 degrees at night and never past 20 during the day. so I do like Awakendone, and use a space heater with a blanket over it. I have it tented so the heater isn't touching anything. I've decided to use an ultra sonic no mist humidifier and the perlite. this humidifier is GREAT. At full blast it produces %80-%95 humidity at all times, and never leaves ANY water condensation all. So, while the cakes are dunking. I'm letting the humidifier do its thing with the perlite. When I go to put  the cakes in the terrarium.  I'll check the hygrometer and see how the humidity and temp is. figured it would be best to test it with nothing inside.

actually my problem was the opposite. they would run my main heater all day and night. since i had no control over it, i covered it with a blanket. no space heater involved. i see how you read it that way though.

the reason i posted this is because you mentioned keeping your space heater right next to you FC. it was only during the winter (heater months) that i had to monitor my humidity. before the heater and now after, i have no issues with it at all.
