I accidentally tilted the lid just now when i was opening it and a little bit of water poured onto a corner of the sub I immediately soaked it up with some toilet paper so im hoping it'll be fine.
It’ll be fine

Last night I asked a question pertainining submerging my substrate for 12 hours, and if and when I do, should I wait for all shrooms to flush out?
In other words: have been picking all of what I thought was the "first flush" as all of th ones that got to the point where they broke veil and formed cap, ignoring the hundreds of little pins, I would dunk that substrate, which dawned on me as counter preductive because once all of those little babies get submerged, they seem to drown. I was trying to reply to the member who responded to my question because I didn't understand entirely, but figured that my "dunking" days are over.
I would probably have had an extra 2 ounces dry although I am not worried....
Growing shrooms becomes an addiction:
I made a buddy of mine a growing partner- he has over 2 OZ plus a hundred capsules.
I made an awesome shoe box for my business partner- it's been a week since I spawned it to bulk.
At my crib, I have about 250 grams wet in the dehydrator now, three shoeboxes on their way to a second flush, have about another 2 OZ of dry, 6 jars of WBS colonizing, 3 ml of B spore syringe leftover, 6 spore prints, about another 10 jarz in the fridge that have been PCed ready for G2G transfer soon, and a bunch of extra WBS ready to go that I had to freeze because I made so much of it.
I get about 200 grams of wet per shoebox on that first flush, but I feel that I am dunking the substrate to soon and that I had been missing out on more yield, I will try to add some pics to this thread from my phone of the drowned pins, although, I think everyone knows what they look like.
My grow buddy just called, and got me thinking into this further........ he says that his remaining pins are just that- remaining pins that don't grow. He said he is going to wait about another day, then pick them all off of his block, and then dunk.
There have been some high quality posts on this thread from peeps with years of experience, someone let me know what the idea is behind these remaining pins and what to do; ignore them pick them, dunk the block with them on it and drown the little bastards...?
Let me know thanks in advance

That's a good question. I'm not sure of the answer. I've been completely removing all pins when I harvest. Everything keeps flushing fine. I do it that way so I don't have to run the dehydrator every day of the week.

I ignore them myself 
If they avort new pins will emerge, those will get colonized
12 hours seems a little long, I've done it on accident though before

Ok... dehydrator in...
I've read to use the highest setting which is 175 degrees. I have a Cuisinart it has a low medium and high setting..
Was planning on running it on the high setting does anyone know how long this should take? According to the thread I read you can cook these things for like 900 days and it shouldn't affect potency but just wondering how long you guys to yours for?

Damn.... what if my mushroom is too big and it's pushing the racks apart should I cut it so it's smaller?

Naw just stuff em in bro. Big mushrooms can take a while. 12-24 hours is usually how I do it.
But technically as soon as they're cracker dry they're good to get pulled

Idk my dehydrator has a clip, if I can get it to snap in then it's good to go. I can't really see yours.
You could break it in half so it fits better

They'll get smaller as they dry too and the gap will shrink 
Sometimes big mushrooms I break in half to save drying time.
Your boomers might take a while to dry

Sometimes I get that "gap" too,but usually after a few hours drying the mushrooms shrivel down and it closes up.

I just sliced the big ones in half lengthwise so they fit in there better.... I tossed a couple bricks on top to keep it tight.... set on high which is said to be a hundred and seventy-five degrees. And the guy that says mushrooms only 4 to 6 hours on medium but I know these are bigger. Just to be clear that should be good overnight it's 8 p.m. currently where I'm at?
