SPAWNING BRF TO TRAYS?

My homie has 4 brf pint jars of GT about a week in showing good signs of colonization but he was wondering if there's any way he can crumble the cakes to something like DAMION5050 and put in small trays then into SGFC or is it necessary to case a crumbled cake?

Sure, you can cheese grate them up into a bulk substrate. Just use coir, verm and a pinch of gypsum as your bulk.
You should give a little casing layer with verm or before fruiting though, yes. That will help keep moisture at the pinning surface. 1/4 inch or even a little less is fine and just keep it hydrated with misting.
Make sure the trays are small enough to still allow natural air currents within the SGFC.

Okay so allow it to colonize the sun then right before fruiting put a layer of moist Verm or put dry then mist?

Since you are using BRF you don't need Verm in the bulk sub the cakes have a sufficient amount.

Add dry verm, mist until it glistens. Whenever it doesn't glisten anymore, mist again lightly and fan as you normally would with cakes.

Boomer is right, you can just use coir alone if you want. I was thinking of spawning grains to bulk.

I was still going to add a handful of gypsum to mine, yeah? Since I forgot to put the gypsum in the cakes like I usually do. I plan on doing this as well Maxfresh.

Handful should be fine for a bulk sub, depending on the size, mushrooms love gypsum. I usually add 1 cup to a 66 qt bulk sub.

Use horse manure instead of coir and you can have trays like mine.

it means if you use 2 liters of substrate you should use 1 liter of spawn. And if your bag is 1 gallon you should use 0.5 gallon spawn, thats it.
