Unmodified (unBODified) shoebox misting?
    #26359084 - 12/03/19 01:13 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

I have been letting my shoebox sit and do its thing, it has been pinning and fruiting for the last couple of days. Not to mention tons of side pins (first bulk grow, beginner noob here). I've already misted sprayed 3 or 4 times total (each time only a couple squirts, nothing generous) since the beginning of pinning. It seems like as the pins are progressing, the block has shrunk a bit on each side pulling away from the wall of the tub. This is also encouraging more side pins, but whatever I can take I will harvest. I have heard this is a common thing that happens since it is using the water for pins and fruiting. I don't want to keep misting because I am afraid of over saturating the surface and messing the flush up. It has been said many times you really shouldn't have to mist at all until after your first flush. My question is the block still going to retain enough water for my first flush even though it is shrinking a little? Does it still have enough power and water for my first flush? Or would you keep spraying misting?

It will probably be ok as long as your Field Capacity was good in the beginning. Like 1 drip when coco is squeezed really hard.

Dunking is an option after first harvest to rehydrate the block. Usually like 3-4 hour substrate dunk seems to be the favorite around here for the most part.

Using a liner is the way to go for tubs to get better top flushes.

Yeah, after my first harvest I'm going to dunk the substrate, and then I'm thinking about using a SGFC so I can utilize the full surface area and all pins.
