How many holes did you drill? should be 1/4" holes spaced 2" apart.

Looks good but.. you have holes on your lid which i believe is not necessary. Also do you have holes on the short side?

All looks good though. one thing to keep in mind. after you add your perlite your cakes will be raised higher. I think the tote will work but a higher one is better.

My bad i misread and thought you said mono-shotgun. Holes actually are necessary on the top too though for proper airflow. If it's just a standard shotgun then yea i don't think youll have enough room for the perlite and cakes.

1/4" holes every 2" in a grid pattern on all 6 sides.

The chamber should be raised so that air can pass up thru the bottom holes, and up thru the perlte.

Not sitting on a box.

I thought id go with less perlite and see how it went. Thinking like 3 inches or so. And the holes are just estimated. I think ill just make a new higher one and measure it out properly. Thanks alot for the quick responses!

I built a sgfc with holes only on the 4 sides. Fruited and harvest no prob.

Im sure it worked but it's not optimal and kind of defeats the purpose of the perlite considering you want air to pass underneath and up through the perlite thus humidifying the chamber. Properly built shotguns work off of the air currents in the room.
