May be a dumb question? Worth a shot!

I have a 66 qt monotub that has produced 2 flushes. I decided to try to flip over the sub for some reason after the second flush. The problem is, the sub is sp packed down on the bottom side and I think that is the reason why is isn't fruiting. The entire bottom has a good mycelium network, it's just not fruiting. So here is my question:
Since this has only flushed twice, I'm assuming there is still a good amount of nutrients within the sub. Also, there isn't any sign of contamination. I have also read about people dropping their tubs, or cracking their cakes when dunking, and then they just explode and start fruiting.
Does anybody think that it would be plausible to crumble up this big cake and re-level it out, let the mycelium grow back and become healthy, and then it will possibly fruit again?
Also, another question for a minimono unrelated to the one in question above. How detrimental is it to the sub if spores have dropped on the cake? Is it a DEFINITE that it wont fruit again. Why is it okay for spores to drop in nature and you can come back out and find more mushrooms (example: picking cyans in Washington. Caps opened up, obvious spore dropping, you pick them all, and then come back out a few days later and find a bunch more). I had to work for 24 hours and the spores had dropped in my mini mono and just want to see if it is a done deal.
Thanks for reading everybody. Good day and happy cultivating

I think you should just chill and make sure it isn't pinning on the now bottom which used to be the top lol

Most of my tubs are one and done. I try to expend nearly all the hyphae, water, and nutes in the first flush.

Man, I would love to watch you for one flush. I keep thinking I'm doing everything right, which I am to a certain extent because I'm getting results without contams, but I want to maximize the potential of my flushes. I'm obviously doing something wrong.

Well it has been a LONG time lol. Are you saying that I should flip it back over?

Do you not have a clear bottom? Can't you just lift the tub up and look under it? If not I guess just flip it back and see what's up
