I always heard the higher up the better, so 95% + (ideally 99-100) i think others could verify this

For cakes, near 100% humidity is best. I would agree with newguy that once you see the first primordia, a slight drop in humidity may help.

RH depends on whether you dunk and rolled or not. Without rolling in verm or double ending with 50/50+ you'll want 95-98% for best results if rolled then 92-95% will do wonders. Perlite humidification works and is easy and cheap but you'll have to mist also mind you, a good way to start until you build a PMP or better.
You can use perlite and ultrasonic on a timer for kickass results! Just remember your FAE's. GL
