Replenishing moisture content in poo/straw casing after first flush??
    #5324514 - 02/21/06 03:36 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

Hey al, i just completed my first successful grow on tenn stud.  I only yielded 4 grams dry of Koh Samui, but the substrate was only about 1" deep in 4 "mini lof" foil pans from the store, they are about 2"x4" so i wasnt expecting too much more than that.  I think rather than flushing them again as is, im going to combine 2 into one so i can have a subtstrate about 2- 2.5" deep.  Unfortuantely the first flush drained a ton of water from the casings, and they have shrunk a significant amount, and are pretty dry.  What can i do to remoisturize the substartae without overdoing it?? I dont want to dunk, as last time i did it over saturated it big time very quickly and slowed growth a large amount.  The best thing i can think of, is when i combine them together maybe mist the crap outta them and break them up a bit, misting throughout and then recase it.  Any ideas??  Thanks, hope to get this done tonight. :thumbup:

just poor some water in the loaf pan till you can tell its hydrated. if you by chance put in too much just dump some dry verm down the edges. or fill the loaf pan up leave for hours then dump the water out. if the guy is still too saturated then push down on it to squeeze some more moisture out. also you could think about injecting water into the case then misting i guess.

Don't pour water on them! Even though you may use sterile water, most contams come up after the first flush (or so I'm told), having a pool of water isn't good.

You were correct, mist them like hell until your casing layer is saturated. I wouldn't break them up though. I havn't seen that done. Gotta be a reason.  :smile:
