Leaving lid cracked in fruiting chamber?

Well my air pump broke so I now have no way of keeping the lid closed and getting the co2 out of the container. Will keeping the lid of the fruiting chamber slightly cracked open suffice? I have no drill to make holes in it so there's only the one hole where the hose of my air pump went and its pretty small. Its been a week since I took the cakes out of the mason jars and theres no signs of any pin head formations what so ever

I would just fan more often. Mist as needed.
I'm sure someone else will probably have a better idea. Like more holes lol.

all right well i gave it 20 minutes lol it's not so much co2 but stale air, and normally keeping the lid cracked won't do you any good either, if it's perlite inside you want holes for air to pas through(sfc style). anywho i won't dig too deep just try get them some passive/constant fae and keep up with your misting, post some pics if you can

If you don't have a fan, the cracked door will encourage air circulation, so that's a good thing. Good luck!

I'm not talking about your present grow - best of luck with that but it's likely you should ditch what yr doing and follow a tried and tested tek on here.
Otherwise just do what cronicr says he's a good guy and won't lead you astray

fanning isn't areplacement for fae it's to promote evaporation after your mist

your best bet would be to drill/melt holes via sgfc style

doesn't do squat for his set up, it would require holes

contams are not a worry at this point of the game, fruiting is not a sterile process.
op your best bet is to suck it up and get some holes in there, you can't run a pmp with out the pump and you can't have a sgfc with out the holes, good luck
