Trays, what to do after first flush

Hello. I used the willy myco tray video. The video doesn't explain what to do after the first flush. Do I just dunk the substrate cake like we soak in the PF tek? Do I add more manure for the top layer like we roll in the pftek? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

You can either give it a heavy misting or you could dunk it in the tray its in. If you plan on dunking, do it for at least 12 hours at most 24. The OG method is dunking, the new hip way is misting. With dunking, people worry about a contaminate rising up due to the excess moisture, or they worry about their cake breaking apart when they decide to reach into the tub to pick up the soaking cake. I heavy mist if I use garbage lining. I dunk if i dont use the lining

Dunk it. Do not add more manure.

Dunking is good like the Ham-man said...
Also, and this is kinda controversial for most people, I use a hpoo based substrate so after my first flush or whenever I dunk I use distilled water and add very small amounts of HYDROGEN PEROXIDE...
That's right, I said it! Lol...
You could mix a cap or two of peroxide in your dunk water BEFORE dunking your sub (make sure the peroxide gets evenly mixed in water before dunking). Just a cap or two will benefit the mycellium and help it to recover. Your dunk water will likely be yellowish from metabolites being washed out of the sub (peroxide helps facilitate that!)
Just a small amount of 3% tho, mixed with your dunk water (I use distilled, it's clean.). CAPFULL OR TWO, No more than 2...

Peroxide is no good for mycelium
"Your dunk water will likely be yellowish from metabolites being washed out of the sub (peroxide helps facilitate that!) "
Metabolites are produced in response to bacteria. Metabolites have anti bacterial properties.

I have good results when mixing very small amounts with my dunk water! Lol. I think it is beneficial!
