Dunking question. Need help please..

Hi,
I have just harvested my first flush ever. It was a bit disappointing. Only about 6 tiny fruit(I am guessing not enough wbs depth & moisture). I have searched a bit but can't seem to find a detailled answer. My casing consists of wbs topped with 50/50+ casing. My FC is a plastic tub with a layer of moist perlite.
Is the following correct: After the first flush remove any aborts, pull the casings out of their trays and soak in water in the fridge over night?
Also can I put the casing back into the FC directly onto the perlite or should I put them back on trays?
Thanks in advance.

Sometimes first flushes are small. Second and third can be whoppers if they are properly hydrated, IME.
Personally, I wouldn't pull them out of their pans, just fill the pan with water until it starts to float a little, cover it with foil, and let it soak overnight. The next day, dump out the excess water and back into the FC they go.
Leave them in their trays always, IMO.

I've never had great fruits off just wbs.Casing it or not. Mix that wbs with horse poo and case. Far Out.

Very true, horse poo it is next time. Hopefully my next couple of flushes will be better.

I doubt your next flushes will be any better.
wbs cannot hold the water needed to support your fruiting. You'll never grow biggens off of wbs.
I would only use wbs as a spawn and not as a substrate.
Don't get your hopes up. Start a new run now and get some h/poo or coir or straw. Go bulk.
You'll never go back.
