Dunking a casing?

How exactly, do you dunk a casing? (50/50 verm, coir)

Fill the casing container with water. Bottled is best. If you use tap, pour a little bit of peroxide in the side, not directly on the casing, and not much..a few capfuls, depending on the size of the casing. Let it soak (covered with tin foil, no holes needed) for 6-24 hours (even 1-6 hours is helpful), then drain. The casing will remain fairly solid, you can hold it in with a clean hand and pour the water off. Then sprinkle on a bit of fresh casing mix in the sides and on top if there are any patches from harvesting. You dont have to, but I suggest it. At least some verm if you dont have anymore caing mix. Dont apply a whole new layer though, just fill in the sides and any holes, maybe sprinkle a tiny bit over the whole surface to absorb some of the water from the dunk.

You can then recover it with the tin foil, with a few holes and leave in the darkness for 24 hours before fruiting it, or just put it directly back into the fruiting chamber..the former probably being the best choice.

I like to dunk cased substrates under running water. Just let the faucet fill up the tub and run over the edges. Use whatever you need to keep the substrate block from floating. Allow the water to run for an hour, then drain and return to fruiting conditions. The running water prevents contaminants building up during the dunk and also helps to wash contaminant spores that may have landed on your project down the drain.
