Is this a question or a statement lol?
Open air is always doable, doesn't even have to be super humid. Just more humid than normal.
Just as long as you pay close attention to em and never let them dry out (which admittedly is difficult open air) should be a pretty good harvest.
What strain/variant?

I havent made kramer cakes myself and I see he uses quite a bit of verm, but I generally wouldn't open air fruit a small cake. if you do at least leave it in the jar, it could lose moisture and dry up realfast compared to a larger substrate.

They're in mini rounds I didn't pull them out at all, just cased them with a few tablespoons of coir/verm that I had left over from a mini mono I had thrown together a couple days prior....I mist pretty heavily in the am and once at lunch...

if the cakes start to feel light you can try pouring some water down the side

I thought about that....kinda like a grain dunk then just drain off excess....but so far they're still pretty heavy for as small as they are....I was worried they would dry too quickly in between mistings but after work I mist every few hours lightly until verm/coir is glistening .....so far so good! And if this shitty camera will take good enough pics I'll post once I have pins poppin

Got quite a few knots on the sides......hopefully they won't be a problem in the future.....I'm only hoping for a couple g's dry per cake but would be stoked if I got more than that
