trouble getting a second flush

been tinkering around an have had a few successful grows. i'm having trouble getting a second flush. i usually get one or two growing about the time i get the mean green growing. is it a fae thing? i heard fanning reduces the risk of green mold. my temps have been a little low (high 60's). this time around i'm using more colonized grain than before, got my temps to about 74. my thinking is that after the first flush, the casing will be able to recover quicker, thus beating out any mold. i've discarded everything contaminated material. i'm hoping the mold has not contaminated my whole room. it be a bitch to try and sterilize it. any thoughts or suggestions? thanks

What are you using for your casing material? Trich usually show sup on later flushes because of fluctuating PH levels. You need lime to make the casing more alkaline (where bad mold does not thrive)
You also need to make sure they get PLENTY of FAE.. alot of contams are caused by people closing up their FC and not fanning enough.

u need to use something in the casing that will buffer ph so doesnt fluctuate as bad... try crushed oyster shell... it should hole the ph better...
and for sure you want as much fae as possible... try using an aquarium pump with a hose attached and running into your FC all the time.. that should help get you some more FAE along with the fanning you are already doing...
