I use a verm/hpoo/coir/coffee casing. And not a very thick layer. The rolling thing is only BRF cakes and instead of rolling those I would just crumble them in to a tray.
And just for the record you do not have to have a casing layer, you can fruit without it, casing layer will just make for a more even flush if I remember it right and possibly more than one flush.

Lets get a few things clear first okay. I assume you cased the cake right? Then wrapped it in clear wrap? I go by more than 5% for my casings but that is me. You can fruit it anytime now, it is pretty much a judgment call and everyone has different times they go by. I would say go ahead and fruit it if you saw spots a day ago(going by what you posted) then it probably has covered enough, go for it.
Might I suggest for you next run of cakes if you have not switch to WBS method by then, is to crumble 2 or 3 cakes into 1 large rectangle ziplock container, then then put a thin casing layer of verm and coir mixture with a knife tip of gypsum(this is what sheetock is made from) into the coir/verm to even out the ph of it..
I hope this helps if you have any more questions plz ask here or you can pm me

Asking is the only way to find out. I remember my first grow and how nervous I was and worrying if things are going right. Get a spray bottle filled with water(filtered is best but tap water will work) and let it set for a bit. If the casing start shrinking and looking dry you can spay the sides of the casing, try not to get it directly on it, but if it is shrinking then it should not be that hard.

From what I remember on those(shotgun style) as long as you have a fan blowing at it then you should not need to fan it. You do not need the fan pushing a lot of air, low setting is usually enough.
I use a energy saver 100 watt bulb for my FC. It seems a light is a light for them. I do have a reflector style hood on mine to focus the light downward.

yes but it might take just a bit longer. I run 12/12 lighting but this is just personal way of doing it.
