Okay, I was pondering a couple things.  Wonder if someone could help me out
1. What is the point of a verm roll on cubensis cakes.  I get the point of the dunk: evaporation is a pinning trigger.  But casing cubensis has no benefit apparently.  So why the verm layer on cube cakes?

2. Would it help to run a humidifier in the same room as a SGFC?

If anyone could shed light on this, it would be great.

The dunk is to rehydrate the cakes, since they were made at less than field capacity to begin with.

We roll them in verm to create a nice microlimate for pinning to take place all around the cake, and also because verm holes a lot of moisture.

We mist the cakes daily with a fine mist until they glisten to replace lost moisture, and we fan out the chamber afterwards to promote evaporation, which is a main pinning trigger.

Casing cubes is not required, but I would not say it is not beneficial....it sure does help with PE on bulk, and on cakes when rolled in verm.

Sure.

the verm is a moisture reservoir mushrooms are 90% water they need a lot. The dunk is to hydrate the cake to capacity after it's done colonizing to give it water to make mushrooms. The evaporation is surface evaporation from the mist you spray.

a humidifier in the same room is OK just make sure it's on the other side of the room from your SGFC IE not too close.

check out the first link in my signature it has the answers to those questions and more.

the roll helps keep a constant 100%rh on the surface of your cakes where it matters most
and no you don't need to bring your rooms rh up but you sure can

It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn

I'm tired do me a favor
