When to dunk?

So I'm planning to spawn my mycelium to bulk substrate in big aluminium trays, do I dunk my mycelium in water then grate it up into the bulk, or do I grate it up into the bulk, wait for it to colonise and then take it out and dunk it to begin fruiting? Should I dunk at all to hydrate the mycelium? Thanks for your time.

Spawn it to bulk and then don't mess with it other than occassional misting and adjusting FAE. After the first flush, it may need a bit of water. You can gauge it by how much your sub weighs initially and how much it weighs after the first flush

It's not specified what substrate the mycelium has been cultivated on or which method was used, it's not specified what 'bulk substrate' is, the info presented leaves everything to speculation. Yet somehow direct coherent sounding advice has been given based on assumptions and speculations.
I'm not trying to be a dick about it I'm just pointing out obvious holes in our game on the boards. I could be wrong about a lot of things and im open to changing my mind about ideas I have. There's no right and wrong I'm just giving my input on how I feel we can I prove the effectiveness of information sharing. That's really all.

Since you mention 'grating' I'm inclined to assume you're growing BRF cakes? But then again you seem unsure of what to do with the colonized substrate after is has finished colonizing so it doesn't seem like you have actually read and followed PF Tek grow so Im also inclined to assume you have colonized grain? Stating the amount of colonized spawn/cakes, the method of cultivating the spawn/cakes will drastically increase the amount of useful tips and advise given. This is how we learn! We don't get caught up in explanatory posts if they somehow don't sit well with us we try to see what's useful about them and use that to increase out chances of success. Fuck now I sound like a sleezy politician telling people how to think and feel. Well.. Fuck.. don't mean to offend anyone

I have 4x 650g grow bags (B+ and BHT on rye,) and 4x 280g PF Teks(GT and one BHT on brown rice flour,) all of which im planning to spawn to a bulk sub comprised of 650g coir and 2L verm (each for the bags and ill mix the GT spawns into 1 bulk,) along with 10% gypsum. Ill grate the PF cakes and bag cakes into bulk in aluminium trays, my query is if i dunk the cakes prior to adding to bulk or let the whole thing colonise and dunk post adding to bulk to begin fruiting - or if I should dunk it at all and instead add a verm casing layer in a humidty tent to intiate fruiting?

If you plan on spawning cakes to bulk then don't dunk the cakes at all and don't dunk the bulk sub either after its finished colonizing. Dunk your bulk subs after the first flush has been picked. Ime gypsum doesn't do anything useful for us in MC growing the way we do 
Ime the most popular and effective method for growing bulk is to spawn your grain together with hydrated coir inside Unmodified tubs and then watch fruits grow with minimal maintenence and very high success rate. Instead of adding gypsum, adding verm, adding bulk sub to a tray then adding the tray to another container for fruiting, instead of this today we just mix grain with coir in a tub with no holes and it basically grows itself. These relatively new bulk methods are stripped of all that's not essential, what's left then is the core of the essence, a well dialed in bulk grow method that's reliable, simple and cheap.

Would mixing the bulk and spawn in big trays be suitable? And then to leave those trays in humidity tents or a box without additional moisture (no perlite,) wait for them to colonise then add hydrated perlite to the tent, mist the walls and that would instigate fruiting of the fully colonised bulk? I also have a casing layer I might aswell use its comprised of polyester, the addition of that and misting would initiate pinning? Apologies it's my first growth and I'm learning.
