How to keep your shoebox tub dunked?
    #26361475 - 12/04/19 05:13 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

What is the best way to dunk your shoebox after the first flush to keep it submerged under water?

I fill two 1qt jars with water and set it on top. One on each side. Filling the shoebox with enough water to cover the substrate.

Lol yeah duh, that was kind of a given to weight it down, but that's what I was asking... how you guys actually go about weighing it down?

Stacking tubs.
Take another tub of the same size, and put it on top, fill it with water.
It will squash any pins on the surface, but also applies even pressure so the sub doesn’t crack.

Yes! My method is dangerous. I forgot to mention. For shoeboxes it works ok. But I tried placing 6 jars on my mono and realized I don’t have 6 hands to remove them all at the same time....after the soak was completed. The sub cracked.

You can stack them on top of each other and put some weight on the top one to keep it from floating.

I don't even submerge my subs these days. I just put like a cup of water in the bottom and give it a mist.

I wouldn't do it if it didnt work. :shrug:

3 hour bottom soak and a hard mist works best for me.
Dunking for longer than 3 hours is over kill imo.

I’m starting to realize this...
I’m at minimum 4hrs and they come back all musty. And sometimes don’t even fruit with a full pin set again.

Do you use one cup water to 1qt spawn? Or better question is what’s you ratio of water per 1qt spawn? Much appreciated.

Its usually about a cup (eye balled) per shoe box. For 3 hours.
Then dump it out, give a hard mist and put the lid back on till more pins pop up.

My spawn ratio is usually 1-1.5qt of spawn per box.

I dont usually get full pin sent on my second flush either.
Are you doing MS?

Yes MS. Is that the reason for no full pin sets?

Yeah most likely. With MS you have tuns of different genetics all maturing at different speeds.
