I was curious so I did my own test regarding the SGFC

Ok well start with how I think it works and please do correct me if Im wrong. Moist perlite slowly evaporates and the heat off the cake also helps pull up moisture. Having several holes in the terrarium allows airflow to the perlite from natural conditions, which is complimented by the evaporation process. These conditions allow for full circulation of humid air inside the terrarium.
So I thought up an idea to test if the perlite is still wet deep inside without disturbing anything. Rub one of the holes on the bottom to create heat, and moisture should be drawn there. Sure enough, it works. I found it disturbs the tank the least if you do really short and fast rubs, just pretend your girls about to climax, rub it like that. In just seconds my finger was wet from it, and on one part even a few drops came out.
This might be more fitting to the pub, not sure. I just thought it was kinda neat and wanted feedback on the validity of it.

I do mist it of course.
I just wanted to see for myself if the heat off the cakes supported air convection, and this little test shows it does.
I do a lot of searching on this site and most information gets passed around without proper justification. It's usually just hearsay or an authoritative argument. So I felt like testing a segment of what makes the SGFC such a fruitful method

Theres a link in my signiture to rr and rk mushroom cultivation sight (lets grow mushrooms) look at the terrarium tek page, it explains exactly how the terrarium works.

Ive seen lets grow. It tells you how to construct a terrarium, explains how it works, and more. Anecdotal evidence is very helpful, but I dont see why this board is always so opposed to peer analysis. The more aspects and the lager a sampling, the more we refine and justify techniques. Im not saying what I did is of any substantive significance. I'm just playing around its called having a hobby.

I wasnt being apposed at all, just pointing to a place that would help you refine your experiments. Didnt know you had already read the terrarium tek.
Not everyone is dismissing your experiments. Experimenting and comfirming is how we learn.

I found a cylindrical SGFC worked better than my rectangular SGFC. Cannot comment on why but its humidity was always spot on while the rectangular required a bit more upkeep.
