Dunking vs. Misting bulk
    #19911051 - 04/28/14 10:15 AM (10 years, 8 months ago)

Hey guys,

just wanted to poll opinions on dunking a bulk sub vs. misting it.

I know theres a thread on here with pictures of a side by side of a dunk sub vs a heavily misted one.

Kudos if you can find it...

mist till after second flush.  dunking tubs is just annoying.  proper field capacity will get u what u want with two flushes and no dunk.

Anyone who has any idea of what they are doing will dunk/soak after 1st or second flush.  How on earth will you achieve a full canopy on your third or fourth flush with misting? 

Just put it this way, if you get 4 ounces dry off of your first flush, you would have lost roughly 1000 grams of water weight (roughly 4 cups of water).  It is not physically possible to get your sub to reabsorb 4 cups of water through misting.

Like previously stated, proper field capacity can get you through to a second flush (not optimally) but if you want any substantial fruit after that you would need to dunk/soak your sub.

I generally dunk after every flush. Its likely not needed after the first flush but it only takes a few minutes to pour some water into my liner and then dump out the excess in a couple of hours. So I figure it cant hurt.

well i never go past second flush.  i only have a few tubs, and i usually have colonized grain spawn waiting.  so i guess if ur going that far with ur sub its a good idea.  still would not dunk till after second flush tho, thats me anyhow

Unless you got contam's there no reason not to keep going, some people have squeezed out 5 even 6 flushes from bulk.  The general consensus i've seen is 3-4 flushes on a bulk before contams start to settle in.

The vast majority of your yields will come from the first two flushes. I have gotten some decent thirds and fourths but if space is an issue it can make a lot of sense to move on after the second.

My best third flush was just over 2 dry ounce from a mini dub tub. Which isn't bad but it's still only half of my best first or second flush yields.

I agree with yah, but giants out of a third is not out of the question - It's all about genetics.  Blue Spore had some insane fruits of a third and fourth flush.  I just hate to ditch any grow unless I see contams.

i have nothing against going past second flush.  to each their own, I'm just saying, for me, resource wise, i like starting again after second flush.  i think ppl can definitely get a good third flush.

You can definitely get some giants out of later flushes.

I prefer small fruits though.:shrug: to each there own.

It likely boils down to how much you grow. For some of us its wasted space for a third flush to pull 2 ounces where we could rotate out a tub and pull 6 instead.

Noon question here, but.....how do you determine flushes off a MS tub? Mine is just putting out continuous boomers. At what point is it a second or third? What signs do I look for to k ow if it needs a dunk?

A lot of the time MS grows won't give defined flushes. Lift your sub if it feels full and heavy its fine if it feels light and empty it needs a dunk.

Some commercial grows will weight their harvest and add roughly 90% of that weight back to their substrate in water.
