Dunking?
    #5304655 - 02/15/06 08:48 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

Hey, I am going to try my first grow pretty soon.  I was planning on using the PF tek... I understand all the steps except for the "dunking/cold flush".  I guessed that you put water in with the colonized cake and put it in the fridge for about 20 hours.  I have looked around and I can't seem to locate a definition of it.  Also, would it be alright to do a dry inoculation of my substrate... or should I get a syringe and mix the spores with purified water?  Any help on this would be much appreciated - other tips are welcome too.

I'll keep reading, thanks guys. :mushroom2:

Skip PF. Try to go to WBS and just case it or use it as spawn. First time I did the PF Tek times 3 (36 jars) and I regretted it, I hate BRF. But thats me, GL.

Oh to answer ur question, just make a PF cake by following the recipe, inoculate and then incubate. When its 100%, remove it and keep it in a tupperware filled with clean water. I dont refriderate, never needed to.

http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/23292 - the Dunk Tek.

I would recommend against dry inoculation...mixing the spores with water helps both to hydrate the spores as well as the substrate.

^^^ Yes, spores should definately be hydrated. Look into Liquid Culture before you inoculate, very easy and colonization time is much shorter.

pf tek works well for newbees and gives an added prevetion to contams. make sure your brf/verm is wet enough or you will suffer very slow growth and poss. contam.

Ok, cool... I'm going to stick with the PF tek and I'll get some syringes and do a wet inoculation. Also, I won't need the cold shock? What about adding more water to the colonized cakes when their ready to be put in the FC.

if you're doing cakes make sure you dunk, especially between flushes.

They say 12-24 hours and that works but i once left a cake dunked for ~36 hours and its second flush was as good as a first flush, while the other cakes, being dunked at 24 hours had shiti results for the most part. Just dont let it get to 48 hours i read the cake dies.

I am drunker than hell right now....so bear with me.....

From waht I heve read...Dunk in room temps. Dunking in the fridge doens't help cub. grows.

From experience, dunking is very necesary. But not in the fridge. I have had great success from dunking in room temps.

As far as dry inoculation...........ehrn....no....thats all i hve to say.. :smile:

i would suggest just using your BRF cakes to spawn horse poopy. It's easier than bird seed and works about the same.
