Looks good. Fruit it, not that you have much of a choice anyway since you exposed it to FAE by opening it. It does look ready though.

Perlite in a GH? please explain. Perlite is usually used in a SGFC where there's 1/4" holes on all six sides and the bottom is raised so air can pass underneath and up through the damp perlite thus humidifying the chamber. It shouldnt be needed in a GH.
And thanks by the way.

There are openings on each end and a fairly large open on the top. when i bought it it was for humidity retention. As a first timer I am being overly cautious with things and am just trying to give them the best environment that I can. As you can see from the last image my first brf didn't go so well.

Ok i see you're using a little greenhouse used for plant seedlings. I actually used one to make a mini mono one time for shits and giggles. However without holes on all sides and mainly underneath the perlite is serving no purpose because theres no air to pass up through the perlite which is what humidifies it. There wouldn't really be enough space to put enough space to put enough perlite anyway. But its a small chamber so if you fill it with trays the trays will create enough humidity on its own just like a mono does. I would personally turn it into a mono.

You really don't have room in that FC to make it work like a shotgun. shotguns need 4"-6" of perlite which you definitely don't have the space for that. I would look up monotub designs and go that route

It was 1 bag of grain and half a brick of coir so it wasn't quite big enough for a monotub... I dis however start a monotub this past weekend 2 spawn bags of B+.. I started way too much stuff at close to the same time lol.

I just mean make holes as per mono. I use a combination of a dub tub/ mini monos made out of sterilite shoebox tubs for my FCs and I use trays that fit perfectly inside rather than mixing the sub at the bottom of the FC with no problem. I just raise the tray so the sub level is up toward the poly holes.
