Is there a reason we should not be adding nutrients back in when we are "dunking"?

There's more than the grow could ever use already in the substrate from the spawn you use to make it.
And if you add any nutrition it will be contamination city since all the shit in the air will be competitive with the mycelium for that new food That's why we sterilize spawn and let only the mushroom mycelium eat it until its all colonize then add the spawn(nutrition) to the substrate (water supply)

That's what I was thinking, but I wondered why it was not a problem to be touching the coir, and having it exposed to air.

Coir is fairly resistant to contaminants, as it's not very nutritious by itself... it's primary purpose is water retention... adding nutrients to coir would make it more susceptible

I suppose that is another reason fully colonizing before "birthing" is the instruction?

You spawning with cakes? And yes, contaminant spores cannot colonize substrate that is already inhabited by otherwise healthy mycelial growth...

I knew I was using the wrong terminology. What is the correct way to refer to fully colonized grain?

Spawn... You're just spawning it to a bulk substrate... no worries, you'll catch on... and some people use cakes lol

Why wouldn't we add another layer of coir (at field capacity) after the first flush?

Because of the talk of the extremes of either overhydration or dehydration, and field capacity coir is properly hydrated--and those second flushes always seem to be lacking (one of Bod's looked pretty good, but other than that one...), and I wondered if perhaps stimulating new mycelial growth might address that.

Just bottom water it for a few hours and drain... if it's contaminant free, it's pretty free for all after first flush

So how long would you say you leave it floating in the water for to properly rehydrate? I think ive been oversaturating my tubs. I float it for 12hrs usually. But makes it soggy and unhappy looking.
Thanks
