Replacing moisture in casings after first flush

I've read that you can dunk cakes after flushes to hydrate them. What do you do with casings? Do they need more water after a flush? Dunking them seems impractical. Can you pour clean water into them, or is a good misting all that's necessary?

If they are in trays just flip them out give them a good rinse then clean the tray out pop the sub back in then fill it with water and weigh the sub down with a dinner plate.Mono's can be a bit trickier to dunk,oh and BTW a casing is a thin layer of non nutrient material usually half a inch thick or so laid over the colonized bulk sub.I don't know why so many people refer to the bulk substrate as a "casing"

Thanks. Still learning my terms. It's a rather small tray, a bread pan, with a layer of verm-only below, rye grain in the middle and verm/coir mix as the casing.

Ok since you cased rye which is usually not great for yeilds because the rye berries just don't hold enough moisture for great flushes I'd add fresh verm to the bottom once you rinse and soak and try for the Rez effect
