I'm using a shotgun fruiting chamber 2 South african cubensis cakes
Unfortunately had no more perlite so I'm birthing these without perlite cover
Humidity is holding between 90-92% Temp is holding between 71-74 F
Do I need to mist these cakes at all? ... or just let it roll, and let the tek do it's work. If so, how often?
concerned that if I open the chamber i lost the humidity.

Your humidity will drop slightly when you open it to mist & fan (so yes, you should be misting). Just so you know, you're supposed to roll in VERMICULITE, not perlite. Did you dunk your cakes?

 Vermiculite is sort of like chopped up cork. Perlite is a mineral. You don't want the perlite on the outside of the cakes. Also after birthing do a dunk (24h submerged in water.) Then roll them in the Vermiculite.

Sorry about my confusion.
I didn't roll in vermiculite ! Not perlite.
I dunked for 24 hours, but didn't have any verm to roll.
So at this point, I just leave it closed and wait for pinning, or do i mist?

Misting is required for optimal performance. It is a shame you don't have any vermiculite left, as it really does help. You should get some good mushrooms, regardless.

don't use black light i read some were it will in time damage your mic genetics.
-------------------- By Albert Hofmann : Been cautious man, I though I would start with a smallest, smallest quantity. Namely I started with 0.25mg.....and my intention was to increase dosage to see if something will happened. That very small dosage, the first dose of my experiments i planed, was very very strong.
