I'm new as well and was having difficulty telling what the moisture content of my cakes was. The easiest way I've found is by weight. Picks them up just a little. If they feel light, they probably need some water. I've started bottom watering some of my jars that have pins to help them hold moisture. I've also heard of some people injecting sterilized water into cakes but I cannot speak as to its effectiveness as I haven't done it.



I just picked them up and yeah they’re pretty heavy, can tell they’re Full of moisture

I would take your perlite out and soak it in a strainer rather than pouring water in your SGFC. I would also trim that aluminum foil closer to the cakes.



Is it necessary to soak the perite more if its keeping humidity in the high 90s?



It is necessary to mist the perlite surfaces to keep them moist. And the humidity inside a SGFC will be high only at perlite level, rest of the air inside the SGFC will have a fluctuating humidity, it will fluctuate in accordance with the RH in your grow area.

Remember that weight and you should be able to guesstimate how dry they are by how light they get.
