Terrarium TOO ventilated?

Hi all,
Quick one, not sure if my terrarium is too ventilated? I drilled 1/4" (6.5mm drill bit UK ) all around but I think I might have got carried away.
There is no real temperature differential between inside and outside the terrarium. I have a little growth but these were already kicking off when I birthed.
What you think - leave or get the drill back out and get stuck into another tub?
Cheers all.

P.S. Ignore the cakes on top and the humidity reading, this is external.

If your shotgun is built to spec then you're good and have nothing to worry about.

also, be patient. that's a valuable lesson from the mushroom and - if you grow them yourself - you don't even have to trip on them to learn from it.

Cheers.
The Tek vid says drill holes, lots of them.
When I started I googled what size to use and it said 1/4'' which I used. When I re-looked it said drill the 1/4'' holes 2'' apart. Mine are a lot closer and more frequent than that

try taping a few of those holes so it resembles the original sgfc plan.

If your humidity runs low, just spray the perlite a bit more. If that doesn't keep it within parameters, .

You might have to mist more often, but it should be fine.
Water evaporation is one of the main pinning triggers, so who knows, this might actually turn out better if you can keep the humidity up.

I've read rr say that what worked best for him was 3/8" holes 2 inches apart, he went with 1/4" for the tek because you don't have to mist as often and it's easier to use.
Fresh air is more important than humidity I'd say so I would roll with it and just watch your cakes and mist as needed. If you are gone most of the time maybe try taping a few to get it closer to spec but ire ally wouldn't worry too much
