Failed flush and what to do now

Hey!
I buy growboxes from a dutch company that always have good quality. My first flush was no problem, same with the second. But the third. The mushrooms stopped growing at midsize for like 2 days and almost started to look a little grey or maby wet? I dont really know what caused it, has happened once before on a growbox. I harvested them right away and dunked the cake in water to kickstart a new flush. My problem now, just as it was back then, the top layer of mycelium seems done for and from last experience wont produce any fruitbodies. Yesterday i got 2 shrooms poping out from the side, but if sideshoots is all im gonna get it will be a couple of tiny flushes.
Thats is what is going on and i have 2 questions that maby some of you can help me with since im on my maby 10th growbox, and that is all my experience with growing.
What caused the mushrooms to stop growing? I got water in the bottom of the bag so there is moisture in there, and i air them 2 times a day. Got good indirect light from outside with the help of a 7k lumen lamp if needed on a safe distance. We had a dip in the weather, got cold and rainy and the indoor temp might have gone to 19-20+ celsius. Could that have been it?
And the second question. Is it possible to scrape of the top layer of the cake to activate a fresh layer of mycelium or will it kill it. This is just a longshot because i cant help to think that when a cake seems done, if you could isolate the centre of the cake it might make it for a flush?
Food for thought 
Thanks in advance for any help with this or if you just wanna spit some ideas!
Peace

I thought that was normal with growboxes. I have no experience with this though
You should learn to grow them yourself probably if you want better results. Ask the cultivation forum

Did these grow boxes that you buy make four, five flushes? what what did they do different this time, besides the half size and weird third flush? What is normal? I ask because they are right, that is normal for many mushrooms and as the patch flushes out, it's protection from bacterial infection falls and it can get contaminated easier.
But I don't know what's normal for this that you're talking about or what it is.
yes you can by all means rake a cake or the surface of overlay if you're sure that's the problem

Yeah the boxes i get normaly give 5-6 flushes with again ''normaly'' 6-10 full size 15-20 cm mushrooms along with bunch of small ones. Now on the third flush, the mushrooms first grew thick, looking to be big ones, but they were unable to grow past 6-7cm they just stopped.
So thats just it, something absolutely happened. Im now kinda okay with it if it infact was that the indoor temp got a bit cold for the cake and it decided that growing season was over. Maby it rejected the flush and thats what i wittnesed. But i am preparing to begin real growing, have been taking sporeprints from my last 4 boxes saving up from massive big boi shrooms, and i wanna get it right Im starting to put this together. I got good pins on the surface of the cake and today i found 2 small dot shrooms on the side. I think the cake somehow has to like start over a bit, like when its getting ready to grow its first flush. That allways takes 3-4 times as long as flush 2,3,4 etc, like i have to tell you that, but making the point. Well, maby i learned something from this.
Its King Cambodian strain btw, and i doubt it ever goes down to 19+ celsius in the cambodian forest during mushroom season, if there even is one.
