They dry out like that overnight every night. Maybe I've got some airflow in the room I'm not aware of.

Sgfc made to spec. Holes on all six sides, 1/4 inch, 2 inches apart. 5" thick of perlite. I tried making an automatic green house but it drenched the cakes( only put 2 in). They didn't fruit until I put them in the sgfc. The only thing not to spec about the sgfc is that the back side is maybe 2 inches from the wall. I've got no other place to put it.

If those are cakes in a SGFC then set the dry ones in a saucer of water overnight, it will rehydrate them. And mist more

You can just place the cake inside a lid with 20ml water inside the FC and let i continue to fruit, the cake will suck up most of it´s capacity in the first 6h, pins will continue to grow. After 12h or so you can just dump the remaining water out.

So after 12 hours it's taken up all it can? Even if it's producing shrooms? What if you just left it in the water until the end of the flush?

The standing water can lead to problems.

There won´t be any standing water if he dumps the remaining water out after 12h. It´s just like a dunk or bottom watering, no harm to the cakes done.

This is the question I was answering.
I probably should've quoted it to begin with.

Yes that was my question, and so I gather no problems if dumped, and problems if you leave it. How often can you rewater, or should you rewater after the dump.

A good rule of thumb is, if it looks dry it probably needs water.
Leaving it sit in some water for 12 hrs and giving it a good misting should hold it over for awhile. Unless somehow you have a draft blowing on your cake.
