You’ll probably be fine... only one way to find out.. just gotta wait and see. The consolidation time has nothing to do with potency, so no worries there.

Those are not my intentions and I apolgize tryp, you've helped me a ton, I just read the other thread where RR mentioned consolidation and it confused the mess out of me (especially the mechanics of whether consolidation is for simply consuming all the nutrients or for colonizing the whole cake, etc.) but I feel I understand it now so thanks very much @tryptkaloids and @fahtster. First time doing this whatsoever so trying to resolve everything once.

I have been misting my 1/4 pint cakes 3x daily, and I'm wondering, since these are half the size of normal 1/2 pint cakes, is it best I water more frequently, like 5x+ a day? Is it as simple as: Check and see if glistening with moisture still, if not, water until glistening then fan? And that does no harm? Or should I stick with the 3x daily. Asking because I wonder if 1/4 oz cakes dry quicker. All advice/experience much appreciated

That's exactly what you want to do. No it doesnt harm anything. Evaporation off your surface in your case cake surface is what helps trigger pinning. It's hard to evaporate when you've drenched everything.
Mist when dry. Dont bother fanning no one does that shit. Stop reading ancient RR posts. Read current posts.
Dont we have a cake thread??

You keep brf jars consolidating because they won’t pin until they’re ready, which is usually about a week after 100%. If you birth them right at 100% it doesn’t really hurt anything except that they’ll be sitting out of the jar losing moisture while having no intention of pinning yet.
I imagine quarter pints would be even more finicky than half pint cakes so I’d make sure you fill a SGFC tight with them or use a humidity chamber. I think if you just had a few of those small cakes in a big SGFC they would dry out easily.

yeah I know I thought about just ghosting my impulse but I’m a helper damnit. Even when it may be considered ‘enabling’
Don’t over think the cakes and don’t mist on a schedule, just if they start looking dry.

Just saw this, sorry. I am using a 32qt tub, here's a picture

I know the perlite seems a bit uneven but its only in that one spot, the cakes are level w eachother. Also I slightly separated the cakes than what's shown in this picture, about 2" separation now.

Can't I just mist well and keep humid and all should be alright? Really invested a lot in this so I don't want to move things again.. could/would this still work assuming I maintain properly?

There no justice in this hobby when your starting. I fucked up for nearly a year over something simple. If I were you I'd either listen to Pasty&Co or prepare to start again and make a lot more cakes. I don't do cakes but I do know the more you have in there the easier it is to maintain the right RH

Remember me telling you my 1/4 pints dried and didnt produce anything worthwhile?
Take the advice, ive learned from experience...
Half a decade of it.
If you dont want to ditch the sgfc entirely then make dozens of cakes.

I'm not banking on much w these.. I'd be happy with 4 dried grams total. Next time I will definitely input your advice and do things better and more efficiently, probably will toss these jars after this anyways. My other two are about 100% colonized, and I'm still a bit confused whether to wait just 3.5 days or 7 days before adding them to the chamber, but will probably do 7 to be safe (unless you think 3.5 for not only the fact that they're 1/4 pint but also to keep my other cakes company faster). Hopefully then there will be better conditions. Until then, I will mist as needed and hope for pins.

You probably won't even get that unless you heed advice. Sgfc is meant to be packed. Anything less and your cakes will dry out too much...
You confuse me.. Im out.
