bulk substrate multiple flushes?
    #15907892 - 03/06/12 07:39 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

OK so I have a bulk sub. Composed of poo/straw that has just completed its 1st flush.  Very proud I am..
Anyway how do I go about preparing it for the 2nd flush.  Should I dunk it like you do with brc?  Or should I leave it in the fruiting chamber and continue to mist?
Any help is much appreciated

some people choice to dunk. i feel like that would be a lot of hassle so i choice a heavy mist (avoid puddles).  if you have a clean room, you could leave the top of for a couple of days and let the tub dry out a bit and then hydrate it with whatever method you feel comfortable with and that will mimic natural cycles and produce a pretty nice flush

I dunk all bulk projects.  Usually I try to semi dunk it in the container it is already in. Use a gloved hand to tilt and drain when the dunk is over.

my sub shrinks pretty good when its done with the flush so i rinse off the caseing with cold water then fill up the tray with cold water and a lil coffee and weight it down for bout 24 hours then drain and make a new caseing for every flush adding gypsum and calcium carbonate with  50/50 peat and verm.

Technically you should not add nutrious things at that point...just water is fine.
