Way to go! I just DNR my second set of cakes. I got 3 flushes out of 4 of my first cakes, and my other 2 may give me a fourth. Albiet there were only a few mushies on that last one. This is a cool hobby, and I love the Shroomery!

As for 2nd flush strategy, dunking will tend to initiate it, but it also helps to let the substrate dry out somewhat and 'rest' before initiating second flush with the soaking. Shiitake growers typically remove the blocks from the fruiting area, to allow them to dry in the colonization room at low humidity. This strategy works with cubes too, but you only need to let them rest for 6 to 7 days, not the two weeks we let shiitake sit. By allowing the substrate to partially dry, and then soaking, the next flush usually comes right along. In this regard, we're mimicking nature with warm temperatures, followed by a soaking rain.
In general, you're going to get 80% or so of your potential product on the first two flushes, provided you've initiated them properly. Many growers feel their fruiting area real estate is better served by replacing post 2nd flush substrates with fresh ones to keep the cycle going at maximum. Everyone just needs to experiment and see what works best under their conditions. RR again a job well done bud!
