10x20 Seedling Tray Incubation / Fruiting Combo

Perlite is a mess and I’d rather not deal with it. I was thinking a clean setup might be a 10x20 seedling tray with humidity dome on a seedling heat mat for incubation and fruiting (winter in a poorly-insulated house). Is this workable?
Thanks in advance

So your not growing cake? Or are you planning on spawning cakes to a tray?

Thanks, Billb. Where am I going wrong with this notion?

I have used humidity tray/domes for fruiting grain or pf cakes before. As long as you case with a lil verm not perlite you'll be fine just treat it more like a mono hand fan it a few times a day and mist lightly often on the inside of the dome.

That can work but I wouldn’t use the heating pad though unless it’s cold as fuck. Someone a while back had decent results doing the same thing but with coir instead.

I think if you are in a very low humidity environment like AZ the tray/domes will simply not retain enough humidity. So your environmental humidity makes or breaks the use of trays but you can always spawn to a tray cover with foil til it colonizes then place the tray inside of a clear plastic tote with holes and poly if your seed tray is not adequate.

Why not just make a monotub?

Monotubs and dubtubs are more tried and tested. You could probably get a seedling tray to work but they aren't all that durable . Besides if you are new it's better to stick with more established methods till you get a better understanding of how and why things are done certain ways. If you are doing cubes a heat mat really isn't needed either, they will colonize just fine at room temperature. Incubators are an outdated idea that nobody uses anymore.

In the winter the temps are around 16-20°C in this particular room. Heat pad would bring it up to proper fruiting temp and maintain humidity.

Toxic Enigma — Thanks. Dubs and monos would work fine, too. My issue is the only space available is quite chilly in the winter (16-20°C). A heat mat would be set to bring it to room temp and no higher. I’m reading here that using a heat mat to achieve room temp is not ideal, so I’m not sure what I can do in this situation.

That's not all that cold. If you're able to enclose, say, a wardrobe-sized area, your lights would probably emit enough heat to get you up close to ideal temperatures. Just provide fresh air regularly.
