u need holes "all around it" like u said...but i don't see any on the bottom, or on the side it seems like u stopped drilling. remember, if anything the bottom holes are most important. thats where the air is lifted up thru the moist perlite (or lava rock in ur case), bringing with it moisture as it passes, to humidify the air.

No, you should follow a tek......like the one linked above....1/4"(6mm) holes every 2" in a grid pattern on all 6 sides.....not just near the top, and not just randomly placed.

Your holes do not cover the entire tub...some of them are bigger than others, and some are too close together, others are too far apart.
1/4" holes every 2" in a grid pattern on all 6 sides....no deviation.

my aquarium is waaaay smaller than your FCs, thats why i drilled less holes.
now i filled the entire sides with holes, following my previous (wrong?) grid.
c'mon how can a small misplacing between holes can affect the job? even nature isn't perfect.
i'll give it a try anyway, meanwhile i gather the money to build a new bigger one.
peace

I don't know a single tek that says smaller FCs need smaller grid patterns of holes....

the picture of mine is about the size of a 10 gallon tank the holes are 2" apart in a perfect grid. These teks are made for a reason don't try to deviate from it.
And no nature isn't perfect but growing indoors you want to create the perfect conditions to get the best fruits imo

Meanwhile i dunked my cake with all the pins/small fruits. Tomorrow i'm gonna get some clay pellets and re-birth my cake.
Hope i didn't waste mycelium, i will let you know the aftermath.
Thank you all for the advice and encouragement.

sorry to say this.. but your "modified aquarium" just looks like... please just follow a tek and make a proper SGFC as described in so many threads here and in the videos from RR (they are really helpful so they are a must see for mushroom grower beginners!)

They aren't clay "pellets" they are clay balls about a half inch in diameter. The pellets you speak of seem like the wrong ones considering they melt bro, that's not supposed to happen hahaha.

The advice wasn't taken to its full extent my friend. Those holes are improperly placed. You need the proper equipment (perlite and/or Hydroton clay balls).
We aren't making fun of you man, were trying to help you.
