How long do you soak you cakes?
    #27013794 - 10/31/20 12:55 PM (4 years, 2 months ago)

How to decide soak time? Depends on size of cake and content? Or do you soak more time for each flush? Or is it a individual judgement on each cake depending on how dry the look?

Reason im asking is because i do mine for 5 hours, works 2nd and 3rd flush (could be more successfull doh). But 4th time the cakes get really dry fast after soaking. Should i increase soaking time?

I grow cambodia on popcorn and cococoir. Only boiling tek. And setup self made growboxes in growbags as shown in link. All same size as picture.
Im using bags simular to this aswell:

If any of above matters.

Thank you so mush for all help! Even small inputs is very needed! :heart:

Well, for small 4oz jars (minus dry verm layer they are more like ~3oz) I soak them for 12-14 hours. The larger the cake, the longer you'd want to soak I imagine. Most of the pro's I've seen on here do 20-24 hours. There was an experiment some shroomer did to see how much water content was gained over X hours.

The difference between 12 and 24 hour soak was marginally higher, so water retention slows remarkably after 12 hours. The biggest jump was from 6 to 12 iirc.

To play it safe, I'd say 14 hour soak for tiny cakes. 20 for bigger ones. But I'm still a noob so don't quote me on that.

I would just do them overnight when I did cakes and it worked well. Like 8/10 hours.
