Looking to step up my game

Hey everyone,
have a goal for myself this year and that's to grow more consistent mushroom yields. I've had about 4 batches over the last 9 months or so, and have had fairly consistent results. Here's the info on how I've been doing them, and I'm looking for ways to upgrade my technique or whatever else you guys think to really step up my grows to the next level.
I've primarily been growing B+ due to their quick inoculation and fruiting times. I felt these are a great strain for me to focus on for my initial grows from what I read before.
I'm prepping BRF cakes per the TEK, and inoculating with a spore syringe. I have been able to make additional syringes from past harvests.
I'm taking the ground BRF cake, and birthing to a coir substrate of 1:2, and placing in an unmodified tub. This week I bought a much deeper tub with the hopes of better surface conditions as the one I had before was pretty shallow.
I'm getting about 10-15g dried per 6 1/2 pint jars over 2-3 flushes.
What can I do to step this up? I'm seeing these canopies, and while I'm completely excited about zero contams, and the fact that I'm getting great fruit from my process, I'm constantly looking at what I can do to evole.
Thanks!!

The next step is to move to strain isolation onnagar and then grain.

Hey Jack, after having recently stepped up my game I have to agree with Sockadin. Having clones on agar and spores on agar is giving me fantastic new insights and it's comforting knowing I have confirmed fruiting individuals. MS gave me alright results but I'm excited to see what's possible with these clones. I've also ground brf cakes into a coir substrate monotub style design, but now as that monotub is finally giving its last flush I've been using grain for my ATLnumba7 experiments and I realize that my second round of cube monotubs should be spawned with grain. Think about it, you can break up all the spawn inside the jar so you're reducing the odds of contamination vs brf cakes that hafta be ground in open air. let's keep leveling up

Great info.
I'm currently looking at the Agar move as I'm about to fruit in a couple weeks and will have spores to work with.
I ran out of brown rice flower but still have a massive bag of verm so this is a great time to make the switch to grain. I knocked up about a dozen jars of BRF a week ago and am just now starting to see any growth. I'm assuming agar on grain is much faster? I still am researching what the jump will look like, but I'm excited to get going.
I'm also currently working on the unmodified tub set up and getting that stage of cultivation dialed in.
