There is no free air exchange because you aren't using a shotgun fruiting chamber which is a must-have for PF Tek cakes.

yes, more holes!
drill two 2.5 inch holes above the perlite on the long sides and 2 2.5 inch holes at the top of the short width sides. Then lightly stuff them with poly.( cut a pillow open if you have to)
that will hold you over until you build a proper SGFC, which should be soon!


--------------------
If you aren't happy with what you have now, how could you be any happier with more?  (Get your SGFC high.)

You need horizontal ventilation. Its not going to vent down in from the top. I put many holes along the sides and the cover.

Build a proper SGFC they're as automated as they come.
air pumps and whatnots dont give enough FAE. its and old and outdated method!

And put at least 3-4" of perlite in your chamber, hell put 5-6" if you got it!

and remember its not good to just to make a few holes here and there,
do it in the pattern as described in the link I posted! :super:

PS, no polyfill in a SGFC :rolleyes:

What are you talking about?
The extra holes are just to supply some fresh air until he can build a sgfc.

this is important. you need holes on ALL 6 sides of the tub. your perlite is pretty much useless like it is now.

especially with how shallow it is.
it takes a while to build a SGFC. i recommend  drilling some holes like i said or cracking your lid for now. Poor cakes are suffocating :frown:

you can probably just continue using the tub you've got.
make 1/4" holes spaced out every 2" in a grid pattern. on ALL 6 sides!
www.mushroomvideos.com vid no 3 shows you how to do it, prev link describes how to do it.

just re-use the perlite, its a rock!

lol this is really inaccurate
in two ways, first, there are
a number of acceptable ways to give cakes FAE
one of which is a SGFC, which idunno how u r
confused, but isn't the only way to give cakes FAE

second, SGFC isn't at all a must-have for pf tek cakes
in fact I dont think pf himself ever used a SGFC
(not saying he wouldnt have been better off,
saying it certainly works w/o one, :facepalm:)
