Help Please! Yellow, Metabolite Fluid Buildup, Is my FC Set up correctly?

I put my bulk substrate onto a piece of tinfoil in a FC with a bunch of holes drilled in all 6 sides with about 6 inches of damp perlite lined at the bottom.
I have a CFL beaming down on it about 5 inches or so from the top of the transparent lid
i also have a ceiling fan running on low
The temperature inside the chamber reads about 76 degrees
my problem is that im not sure if im getting correct evaporation
every time i mist (about every 2 hours) a lot of water ends up pooling on the top of the substrate which i then blot off. i dont know if im getting correct evaporation
i also saw a lot of yellow fluid built up today and did some searches and figured its metabolites.
am i doing something wrong?
is it too hot? not enough FAE?
do I have too much perlite in the FC?
thanks for all the help

Don't mist every two hours. That's for cakes. Let it dry off, then mist it down as needed.

Treat the the same in a general sense, they want the same conditions. But a bulk block generates a lot of humidity around itself, cakes are smaller. You need that evaporation and replacement to happen- it's a big pinning trigger.
