dunking fruiting monotub substrates?
    #8697111 - 07/29/08 11:53 AM (16 years, 5 months ago)

i'm working on my first two monotubs.  they are uncased coir/verm/coffee and had very nice first flushes.  i've been out of the country for the last week, so my gf has been in charge of harvesting.  i got back yesterday and noticed that the subs have pulled away from the tub walls pretty good.  one tub has some small pins and aborts, but the other tub appears to be giving a small second flush (my gf said it paused a bit and then pinned again).

I want to dunk these things, but am not sure how to proceed with the tub that has fruits.  can i dunk the sub with the fruits still growing, or should I pick them off?

how long should i dunk for?

No. Let it finish its little flush, or go ahead and pick them off then dunk. If those pins get saturated with water they will rot.

I created a monotub that started from a multispore. There were obviously a number of competing substrains. They were fruiting a completely different times; therefore, there wasn't really any one flush occurring at a time. I ended up dunking the substrate while it was about halfway through a fruiting stage for about 8 hours. In the end, those particular fruits ended up being fairly sizable.

Long story short, do that shit.

Additionally, I wouldn't worry about unpicked pins rotting after being saturated with water. It is standard practice to leave pins (but remove aborts) when dunking.
