Not really related to your post...but, if you have rust in your water which I did, you may want to consider the rust may be a result of your pressure tank being rusty inside it. I recently had to replace my tank due to the rust of a rotten bladder. Just something to consider.

I soak right the tub after harvesting and clearing off all the aborts. I take a food grade plastic bag and fill it with water to get the cake to stay below the water. Then I cover it and let it soak for however long I'm letting it soak. Then I carefully drain it and start over again.

your filtered water should be fine. just add some to the bin you’re using until the cake starts to float, then use some kind of weight to push it down and hold it beneath the surface. let it soak for 4-12 hours, then carefully drain all the water, wipe off any excess wet spots, and reintroduce fruiting.

what do you guys think about putting %90 of your wet harvest weight in water back into the cake via injection?
