2nd Flush Advice

I have 3 shoeboxes going right now. I harvested the first flush last week. And now I want to ensure I get another decent flush or 2!
The first cake I dunked for 2.5 hours in the fridge. The subsequent 2 I have heavily misted the sides of the tubs in hopes it runs down to the cake. Dunking seemed to dirty and I am afraid of contam.
How are these looking? Anything else I should do?
The dunked cake(this one actually seems driest even though it definitely got the most water and had the smallest flush)

The other cakes that were misted look better (imo, and I may be wrong)

Beside misting daily is there anything I should do to encourage a good second flush

in my experience besides keeping substrate moisture in good levels and decent FAE ,its all left to genetics.

I have never really done a second flush, I like to put them outside and grow big shrooms, some people bottom water the tub. I'm currently second flushing a tub of Golden Teacher using beef's punisher tek, as it seems others have had good success https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/28719976/fpart/1/vc/1

Thanks for the link. I had not heard of this tek.
Tbh I left all the baby pins on there and didnt pull anything off. Im guessing now that was a mistake.
I will definitely try the punisher after my next s2b and first flush.
I thought Id read somewhere that pins for the first few flushes all set at the same time and to not disturb them. Is that outdated info?

I'm a noob myself but if its not growing after a few days it probably wont and are most likely just aborts. second flushes are generally new pins and mushrooms, I usually dump my tubs upside down outside and they refruit from the top/sides

I'd like to see a thread starting on a couple days with progress on that. I found that "Tek" while reading about Nat overlay. I'm considering trying it out.
Hope it works out.

I just tried this tek. Im not sure if I messed up or not.
I actually initially harvest 4 days ago but I had tons and tons of tiny pins that havent changed size in that time
Tubs pre punishing


So I tried to rip everything off. But it was just pins all the way down. I blasted with water and put the tub back in fruiting conditions
Heres the tub post-punishing
