SGFC help

So I just made my SGFC, and it's been doing its thing all day..

One problem.. I don't see any condensation.. Should I? On the bottom around the perlite I see it, but not above..
I used just a bit bigger than 1/4" drill bit, 2" apart on all sides. And the bottom I used like 1/8" bit but much closer together (so perlite doesn't fall out too much). I have 4" perlite in the terr, and I spray and fan 3-4 times daily (just one day so far). But.. I don't see condensation, the walls look dry few hours after spray.
Only problems I can think of is temperature? My room gets cold (65ish, 60 minimum) especially if I'm not home. And when I am home, I have a mini heater which seems to make my room really dry? I think..? I just don't want my cakes to dry out, any help greatly appreciated.

Nope....it's a good thing....it means that the air inside the chamber is the same as the air outside the chamber....which means you are getting proper FAE.

Did the tek say to do that?
The perlite would have been fine.
Imagine 4 fat chicks trying to squeeze thru the same doorway at the same time.....
Maybe one of them makes it thru....but the rest will get stuck.
I call it the three stooges effect.

That is how it should be.

Awesome! Thanks a lot, I love seeing your Stewie portrait, I just get excited to read whatever is coming up haha.
And yes, one tek I read said to drill more but smaller holes. And I actually did put a few regular 1/4" holes, about 8, in the center of the bottom, surrounded by a bunch of smaller holes over the rest of the Bottom. And I still got a few pieces of perlite that fell out, but I'm sure after those few barely any will.
