FYI hydrated Orbeez survive a pc cycle as well.  I've been toying with mixing them into the grain spawn.  I've tried mixing in dried Orbeez to absorb excess water in jars as well as hydrated Orbeez to provide additional H20. 

So far I haven't had any mind-blowing results with them, but I'm also a noobie.  I figure this info might be useful to someone here.

Also "Orbeez" is a name brand.  You can find generics by searching "water beads".

What problem are you trying to solve with this kooky idea that doesn't already have a cheaper, tested, reliable solution already?

Sounds like a noob idea to avoid accountability for learning how to maintain proper surface conditions.

Sounds like extra steps.

Sounds like a lot more ways for things to go wrong.

Have you tried a thick pseudo-casing layer at spawn time? Mist heavily once immediately after spawning (can be slightly over field capacity).
