The pots all go into a flat, then I add about a half gallon of water (remove a pot, pour in water, add back that removed pot) and let them soak it up. They'll be all hydrated within a half hour.

I tried a couple this year where I used dry mix, and it never did hydrate (just stayed pooled on the top of the pot for 24hrs until I dumped it off). I spent quite a bit of time stirring mix with water in buckets in order to get it saturated before adding it to pots.
What mix do you use Jeff?
