I filled my lid with water and then put the cake in it and the water spilled over the edges and I slipped in it and broke my neck.

Hey ziran, thanks for putting this pictorial out ! I tried bottom watering as well, the thing is my cakes usually get pretty weak pinsets so they don't need it so much, your cake looks good though
In your experience, how much difference does bottom watering make to the end result ?

Never really measured it. Just know they like water so It can't hurt. Usually if they don't suck up all the water after 24 hours, I dump out any excess.

Fair enough,
Some say dunking provides enough water for at least one flush. You do well to dump out the excess, I've noticed the water turns yellow from metabolites after about 36h.
Is that coir you have on top of your cakes? It seems to pin well

that cake was top fruited in the jar at on point, and to harvest I had to break the jar because it was side pin city.

How about adding a disc of cardboard to the bottom of the lid? Adds some extra nutrients and is fairly contam resistant. Have you ever tried bottom watering with coffee or grain water? Increased chance of contam I imagine but might be worth doing on a nearly spent cake?

Nice write up. I image it would work pretty good with petri dishes as well. I would definitely add in the write up to dump the extra water after 12-24 hrs tho.

Since this thread has been revived, My pins instead of; dwindly and skinny, are staying nice and fat, also meaty, instead of hollow in the middle. Should I still dunk in between harvests, or just keep the cakes moisturized by bottom watering? almost at 3 weeks after birthing, but cakes are just now starting to pin nicely.
thanks again for all your help in teks

I usually dunk them for about 2 hours if they feel lighter than a 8 ounce cup of water. but if they still feel like your holding a cup of water when you pick them up, then I don't.

*Side note*
Save those lids if/when you move to grains! They hold up in a PC and are much better than the metal ones as the metal ones will rust.
Carry on. Lol.
