Casing questions
    #5756360 - 06/16/06 06:15 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

2 questions. 1. how can i put moisture back into my casing after the first flush? should i just work on the humidity of the FC? or is there a way i can put moisture in the soil?

2. what makes a better grow in casing for my next try? i have alot more growth then in a cake. but still most the surface area dosen't have growth. is there any way i can imporve this using the same substrate. or will that come with tring new substrates... i'm using rye seed right now.

thanx

You can hydrate cased substrates by putting them in the sink and letting the faucet fill up the tray so it slowly runs over the edges. Place something on top of the substrate to keep it from floating if necessary. A couple of jars of water will hold it down. Allow the faucet to gently run for a couple of hours, then drain and put back in the FC. Add fresh casing material to replace any that washed off during the rinse-dunk.

Correct. I've actually never had a problem with pins aborting because of the dunk. Often, they double in size after just a few hours under water. Just make sure to give plenty of air exchange after you return it to the FC.
