Someone commented that leaving some space along the perimeter would also help my FAE, so I'm just trying to do all I can to recover these cakes by splitting them between 2 chambers, 12 cakes each. I'm in borderline panic mode I don't wanna lose my shit lol.
So, holes in a 2x2 grid ALLLLLLL OVERRRR right? Top bottom and all 4 sides tippy top to the very bottom? I'm having a surprisingly hard time finding a picture of the holes in a SGFC lol.

People used PMP, pop bottles, rich man terrarium, and other shitty performance chambers. Many people would spawn their cakes to bulk to take advantage of bulks flexibility. Chambers meant just for cakes pretty much were all shit until the SGFC came about.

What is it that makes bulk more "flexible" than cakes?

I injected water into my cakes after I saw some people hydrating their cakes with straws and having success. I experimented with it on cakes that were for the most part past the point of saving with misting,, and it worked for me.
They pinned and I was able to pull a few flushes out of what could have been just wasted cakes anyways.

Basic principals of the shotgun fruiting chamber ^^^Everything you need to know^^^ click it and follow the instructions its basically going to tell you to just take your current chamber get a 1/4 inch drill bit and drill holes every 2 inches in a grid pattern all over the whole thing lid and all
you can still keep all your cakes in that one when they say leave space along the perimeter they mean outside the SGFC not the cakes on the inside

I'd really recommend bottom watering over injecting water any time it's possible.

Gotcha. Alright I'm going to tackle this tonight and hopefully make a save.
Now, what about those gross looking cracked fruits? They're a total lost cause right? Should i remove them?
Also, since my cakes are stalled and dry af, should I redunk/roll on the 19 cakes that have no growth?

It's a space constraint issue in my FC. Do you think I could make little boats with tin foil that would hold water to bottom water my cakes?

No worries its my first go and like I said do the lid first then no need to sit drawing up grids the lid generally will be as long as the sides and bottom and longer than each end so use that as a drill template for the rest of the box just pen through the lid holes on the box

Word homie, ima bang this out right when I get off work. Still hoping to get a reply on what I should do about the gnarly looking cracked fruits, and whether I should redunk

If you're cakes are really that dry I don't think redunking would be an issue. Its up to you. I think I remember someone mentioning bottom watering? And sorry not quite sure what to say about your cracked fruits. They're prolly just dry. Lol how's that for an answer? Consider this post a bump. Hopefully someone with more xp can chime in

Lol whether or not I should eat them was gonna be my next question xD. I'm just hoping they recover. SGFC all set up and going, I made little tinfoil boats to set the cakes in so I can bottom water them.

Just wanted to send some good vibes broo, I think they will recover fine, cubes are very resilient to some pretty harsh conditions ime. I had cakes in a real messed up FC my first go because of some misinformation (and some lack of research I'll admit) but after a few days I realized something was up cakes were looking shitty but I fixed things right away when I found out, got a hygrometer and whatnot, and they did fine, got plenty of mushies off them. I'm pretty sure I got about 4 flushes off most if not all of them.
[Edit] Oh yea and one thing be sure you have the full 4-5 inches of perlite at the bottom of your SGFC. If you only have like 2 your humidity will be greatly reduced, at least it was in my experience.
