Even a small tub should have holes in a 2" x 2" grid pattern. Sounds like not enough holes.

No I don't, there are holes on 4 sides and like I said there are 38 I guess I'll fix it not a big deal.

In an SGFC you need holes in all 6 sides(including top and bottom). The bottom holes are the most important as the air that enters in through those holes pulls humidity off of the soaked perlite and mostly exits out of the other holes.Quote:

^^^^^^^ Either do it right or start over. If you don't when you come back in a few weeks and say "my cakes are drying blah blah blah w.e." You're going to get told the same thing and you will have to redo it anyways.
So do it right the first time.

With fewer holes on bottom than you're supposed to have, it's not going to work. This isn't a hobby for the lazy. Do it right. RR

Tell me how the air exchange and humidity work without the proper size and amount of holes...

Not because of the crack, because it still needs more holes.

An SGFC with zero holes isn't a fruiting chamber, it's a Rubbermaid.

The size of the container doesn't effect placement and size of holes is what I was referring too. In other words a small container gets the exact same layout as a large container.

2 inch hole spacing on all six sides, no matter the size of the FC. You should always follow teks and grow procedures to a "T" man, and that way if it doesn't work, it eliminates all random possibilities for anyone trying to give you advice....now get to drillin' lol

I redid everything this morning... drilled holes 2 inch apart in grid formation, the temp was at 72 all day and the humindity has been at 99. question the cake seems to be overlaying the dry casing layer(kinda looks like fuzz or lint not like cobweb) what should i do if there is anything at all?

could be a reaction to bacterial infection. Hard to say without a picture. Most people will assume aerial mycelium but that's unlikely since you have your SGFC made up to par now.
