What is a cold shock and when should I use it?

A cold shock can help trigger a new flush after harvesting. It mimics a natural temperature drop that signals the mycelium to start producing again.

How to do it:

  1. After harvesting, soak the kit in cold water for 12 hours (if your kit type requires soaking, check the instructions).
  2. Place the kit in the fridge (3-5 degrees C) for 12-24 hours.
  3. Take it out and return to normal growing conditions.

Not all kit types need a cold shock. Check the instructions for your specific kit.
