Had a HUGE first flush from my first ever tray done with the horse poo tek and 2 b+ cakes used. My question is how should i rehydrate my trays for the next flush? Havent seen alot of info on this so any feed back would be appreciated. Also my top casing layer, does the tray ever need a new casing layer? Or not? thanks again...

Depending on the size of the trays, they can be dunked under running water right in the tray or tub you grew in by placing under the kitchen or bathtub faucet. Just let the tray fill up and overflow and run down the drain. The gently running water will prevent bacteria buildup during the dunk, as well as wash mold spores off and down the drain. Let them sit under slowly running water for five or six hours, then drain well and return to fruiting conditions. RR

Is the faucet water ok for the trays? I always use distilled water for everything because of green mold from tap water a few years ago. I take ur word for it just a thought?

It doesn't hurt to give a few days to sit after harvesting. There's a resting period between flushes anyway. RR
