Does a pmt need holes?

This is my first time and my cakes are dunking atm. My terrarium is a cool whip container with a big ziploc bag ontop and secured on with an elastic. Im gunna put an inch or two of perlite and rest the dunked/rolled cakes on it.
I have no holes in this pmt so im confused on how much i should fan/mist as all the teks i've read are (shotgun?) .
Would cutting some holes in the bag and putting micropore tape on them be a better alternative?

Bro, you need to make a SGFC. They are brain-dead-simple.
If you were to do nothing more than change to a larger tub than a cool-whip container to one that is tall enough to allow for 4" of moist perlite, the height of the cakes, and the height of the hoped-for shrooms, and then you drill/cut 1/4" holes every 2", you will have what you really need.
Trying to maintain fruiting conditions by hand is reeeaaally hard to do effectively.
Anyway, best of luck,
JD
