Noob Dunk And Roll Question
    #18749129 - 08/23/13 09:27 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

I am currently growing my first batch of mushrooms. I am using the PF Tek and my jars are about 95%+ completely colonized. My questions are as follows:
1. I know I should dunk and roll immediately after birthing my cakes, but how long do I need to dunk them for? I think I read something about 24 hours, is that correct?
2. Does the temperature of the water while dunking matter? If so, what temp should I try to keep the water at while soaking the cakes?
3. How soon after I take the cakes out of the water should I roll them in dry vermeculite? Immediately or should I wait for them to dry a little?
4. How much vermeculite should I apply to my cakes?
5. Should I dunk and roll after each fruit? Or just birth the cakes, dunk and roll, fruit, dunk, and fruit again?
6. Do I need to complete all the steps (Aside from birthing; obviously) after each successful fruit?
Thanks in advance for any answers/advice I may receive.

1. 24 hours.

2. Cool tap water is fine....not too hot, not too cold.

3. Right away.

4. Roll them in dry verm....whatever sticks sticks.

5. No, just dunk for 24 hours after each flush. Only roll in verm after the first dunk, not again.

6. Again, no...just dunk between flushes.

And make sure to wait a full week after they hit full colonization for consolidation before birthing them.

I am also doing my first pf tek.  One thing that I learned (after cakes turned blue'ish) that seemed to help is I ground up the verm a little smaller to stick better.

I didn't dunk and roll before my first flush. Do I dunk and roll after the first flush or just dunk?
