2nd flush shoebox?

Ok so I'm using up my cakes in shoeboxes because of the bag of grain in my living room. I'm having problems getting second flushes from my shoeboxes. I use 4 1/2pint cakes to 2 quart sub and at least 1 qt casing( I've started using more casing now). First flush comes in pretty quick sometimes I have harvest half then 2 days later harvest the rest. I soak for about 4hrs. Then redub. I can get a few little pins but nothing really more after that except a few monster side pins. My surface is very heavily covered in mycelium (locked?). I've tried twist and pull and float and cut to harvest still no difference. Any ideas anyone please help. 🙏. Want to get this figured out before I start with my grain.
Will waiting a couple days after harvest to soak make a difference?

So your spawn/sub ratio is 50/50 (minus the casing)? That should be plenty for a few flushes.
I've had this issue before too, what kind of helped was to let the sub sit a little while and letting it air out / dry before dunking. Maybe it still had enough moisture, and dunking only stunned the myc by asphyxiating it for a few hours lol
I found that if my first flush is a little on the dryer side, the myc really proliferates after the first dunk.
Maybe experiment with different moisture levels and -protocols?

Forgive me, I'm bad at converting non metric units.
I run my shoeboxes 50/50 by volume and usually get about 3 flushes before they stop pinning. I'm mostly hypothesizing here, but maybe it's the nutrients?
