Yeah the first thing I noticed was you didn't mention the dunk step.  The cake needs to be submerged then rolled in verm before you put it in the fruiting chamber.  Did you skip that step or just forget to mention it?

Yeah you add water to the lids to allow the cake to soak it up. They're thirsty. My question for someone who's more experienced is, shouldn't they just go ahead & dunk & roll them now instead of bottom watering?

They could, but if I birth a pinning cake I tend to go to fruiting right away for those first fruits. Bottom watering is effective if you skipped the dunk and roll.




So if a cake is pinning you go ahead & skip it as well?  Just go straight to bottom watering? I haven't had this scenario yet so want to know what to do in that case. & then for a second flush do you then dunk & roll?

I don’t birth a cake until I see small pins. Dunk and roll then put the cakes in the FC. I wait for a day before misting the cakes, seems to help the vermiculite stick better.
Subsequent flushes get a dunk but not a roll.
That’s me, there are different ways that work. Guidelines rather than rules.



OK thanks for the info.  Didn't mean to hijack your thread Infinco.
