3.) When mycelium colonizes the bag, make multiple 2-3” horizontal cuts into the block
4.) Spray these cuts 2-3 times per day
5.) Fruit formation can take quite a while
You can attempt a second fruiting by withholding water mist for 7 days. Soak the block in cold water for 20 minutes and then pour out excess water from the bag, then start misting 2-3 times a day.
