Lol, it definitely does. One question though, how can I dry my munchies without using a food dehydrator? For the last 7 hours, I've had them underneath my ceiling fan on high power on baking trays. They seem like they're shriveling up pretty good

Put them in the oven at about 140F. Keep the door open a crack and only use the bottom burner; It will work just like a dehydrator.
You could even run it hotter than that for faster drying, the actives aren't destroyed until around 300F. I like the result that is produced at around 130-140F though, they seem to look better to me, not so shriveled up. Actually, most ovens only go down to about 170F at the lowest setting so you may have no other choice.
Keep them in there until they are cracker dry, you can store in bags or jars afterward long-term. Cracker dry means they crumble like a cracker if you squeeze them.

Heres a pic of my second flush. I let the tubs chill for 3 days before misting but I turbed off my fae and light source (fucked up) and one of them contracted trich so I dumped that mofo.
This one (tub B) made it tho. after I turned the fae and light back on and misted, in two days these fuckers BLEW UP and fully matured in that short time. they are monster. I harvested about half of them, which you see here.
perfect timing too, the veils were just about to bust wide open.
question is, wheni want to do my third flush, I should dunk right?

I prefer dunking. When my second flushes look like the one in your pic, I don't bother with a third.

His substrate still looks decent, I would try to dunk depending on what the substrate consists of. CVG is pretty hard to contaminate, you will probably get a few more mushrooms from a dunk and not have to worry about contams in that case.
On the other hand, you could just start fresh again in that tub by getting rid of it like Spit said. Just depends how you want to go about it.

if i can get 80 grams plus dry off a third flush its worth it if i have free tubs. if your working a rotation i usually do a 2 flush and dump rotation. but i have a bit of a gap now on some tubs and i took about 6 of them to 4th flush now. 4th wasn't worth it but it was worth it to see how the strains will perform for me. im trying to narrow down which strain i should run with. one tub fourth flush looks like its only about a 1oz dry. still for letting it sit and do nothing not too bad.

Yeah, it depends on what I got going on too. An 80g dry third would be worth it, but if my 2nd is pretty light, I usually just move on. I don't have any hard fast rules about it, sometimes I just don't feel like messing with it.

I've had light second flushes when I didn't dunk after a huge first flush. I then dunked after the weaker second flush and got a killer third.

i got about 80 plus gram 3rd flushes in 6 tubs with cvg and multispore. clone would be better. so if multispore is doing that, clones will rock the house! i can kind of judge when the sub looks like its wasted. usually after 3 flushes ill start seeing the signs.

I've got some 4th flushes B+ MS going right now for the first time, they look pretty spent but pins are coming so I'll wait and see what happens. Maybe I'll post some pictures here.
I made some clones of nice fruits from my early B+ and PE grows; put on agar then transferred them to jars, now the jars are about 100%, so I'll be testing them out next in the near future.

if its fruiting and you dont' need the tub for new substrate id let it keep going to see how far you can take it. why not? most flushes ive gone was 11 with treasure coast and that was on cakes.
i just looked earlier and my 2 r44 tubs are on 4th flush and one of them started pinning again. its looking fairly decent right now!
the cool part about dunks is that even if your subs pulled back 6 inches from the edge of the tub where it once was. the dunk can help the flushes keep going. eventually you might get contams but if you got 3 good flushes. thats badass and worth it!

Like I said, ain't seen any contamination yet in any of my grows so maybe I will soon... 
The pins coming out on these tubs seems to be decent and a good amount of them, I'll let them go and toss the substrates after I harvest these ones.

you know i had a colonized substrate that i tossed outside. well it rained a huge storm and flooded the area it was sitting in. the sub was flooded for about a day and a half and about 2 days later it just exploded full canopy! didn't have to do anything.
i used to pick at this field. it would flood in that field. it had tree canopy near where the cow piles were. but it would flood about 2 feet deep. i once went out there and made it about 10 steps until i was knee high in water lmao.
but a few days after the water would reside, the cakes that had been underwater would just explode with pans and cubes in the same field. i went back several years later and they put up a fucking shopping mall.....grrr. damnit...great field> shopping mall.

My first flush was a bunch of tiny fruits. The second, they are huge. The sub has pulled back from the sides but i think I can get a decent 3rd flush. They are ready for harvest today. When I get home im gonna dunk.
These are GT and I've noticed that they were pretty weak potent wise. I think it may be because I let them sit on my table under a fan f 3 days then threw them on a solid baking sheet and oven-dried them for 1 hour on 170. I may have cooked them a little.
I bought a dehydrator yesterday. I like they way they come out better for sure.
When using a dehydrator, is there such thing as "too long" in there to where it would affect potency?
