Can someone give me instructions for a shotgun fc

Im a beginner at growing psilcybe cubensis and i was wondering if you guys could tell me if this is a good fruiting chamber.
Im gonna get a clear container and drill holes in it then put a jar in the middle filled with water. WHen I drench the perlite im going to put about 2 inches in the bottom. Im going to get an air pump and put it in the water for good air circulation and get some airstones and put them on the inside of the lid.
How much would i need to fan/mist. WHen i mist is it ok to get it on the cakes that are dunked in vermiculite.
If anyone has any better ideas please give me instructions with pictures please

don't use an air pump in a SGFC.
SGFCs work because of a pressure gradient drawing air through your perlite.
if you make the inside a higher pressure than the outside. it won't work.

no airstones.
Just watch the video, and build the FC following along step by step. Drill 1/4 inch holes every two inches or so, on all six sides. fill with a hand wide of wet perlite and stop worrying about it.
if this is your first grow do it by the book. That way you are almost guaranteed success. Do exactly as RR tells you to, a lot of newbies have taken his advice seriously and ended up with a good amount of mushrooms. it's those that think they have to improvise and ammend and cut corners that you read on here about, because they got mold / messed up cakes etc.
Also, do not skip the dunk & roll either, DO EXACTLY AS YOU'RE TOLD. It is essential for the operation of the SG terrarium. follow the video and you're in good hands. people here get easily annoyed if you fail to follow instructions and then end up with bullshit and whine about it on here. There is no reason for your first grow to go wrong if you just stick with a good well established tek such as the one that RR posted on here. I had great success with that one.
