How is this? I added six more holes and lossened all the polyfill. I know my holes are small but I have more of them to make up for it.

Those holes are too small. You should've made it into a monotub. A set of 1 1/2" holes on the long sides, and one on each short side. Also, the substrate is very thin, so it'll be prone to drying out more quickly. Make sure to keep up with the misting schedule.

so I didn't actually create a monotub? Cause I've been treating like such. I have not opened it. And it has plenty of moisture. I can see it built up on the walls a little bit. Though I recently added more FAEs to the tub, so I don't know how that will affect the humidity just yet.

That's the problem man, you can't treat it as a monotub because it is lacking the proper hole setup. The stagnant air near the surface has no way to be circulated, so pin formations will likely abort. Next time follow a proper Monotub tek

Yes that'll increase your FAE. Get a hole saw and carefully drill 1 1/2" holes near the substrate and on the shorter sides near the top. Then stuff with polyfill. Follow the tek I linked in my previous post. :goodluck:
