  Day 135. Soaking Reishi fruiting bags in waterAfter several months of growing, the substrate had lost a lot of moisture, and the bags felt lightweight. Right after harvesting, I decided to treat my Reishi to a heavy healing rain. Just like we often do with magic mushroom cakes. By soaking each bag in water.I poured in filtered freezing cold water (I literally chill it in the freezer) right into the bags, one by one. Let them soak for about 40 minutes.After soaking, I poured out water and put all the blocks into the grow tent. Now all the bags are opened (without filters) and they have frequent ventilation and proper humidity (~80%) to support the next flush... hopefully :)Note: Now I use humidifier and ventilation setup twice a day for 30 mins and it's enough.
