Dunk&Roll tek

I was only planning to do a plain ole' BRF cakes and just letting them fruit, since this is my first time, but I started to see some stuff about the dunk&roll tek, and I really would like to try it, since from what I've read it increases fruit size and quantity. I've done several searches and I don't ever get a detailed description about it, I do know that you soak them for 12 hrs., but the rolling part is very vague. I mean do I sterilize the verm. (my guess is that you do)? And is there a special technique to rolling the cakes? Also what kind of pre-cautions do I need to take? Can you dunk the cakes when you birth them? And so forth... Any info. on this tek would be greatly appreciated.

Your right about it increasing the size and yield of the harvest, But you do not need to sterilize your vermiculite. No there is no special technique to "roll & dunk"
Because the cake is fully colonized it is very impervious to outside contaminants.... so birth the cake and dunk in clean water (keep fully submerged!)
*Some techniques say dunk for a minimum of 6hrs up to 12hrs. - Others say for a full 24 and even 36hrs. However! no more than 36hrs! I would say 24 is a good median to use.
**Remember to place the dunked cakes in the fridge! It is a good way to "cold shock" the mycelium which induces fruiting!
*Then when they come out just place some tinfoil out on any flat surface spread a good amount of vermiculite out and roll the cakes throughly over the vermiculite until no more sticks (2-3 rolls)
*Place in your fruiting chamber and your done!
