Air Pump for Fruiting Chamber

So I'm going to make a fruiting chamber and I'd rather not make all of those holes all over just because it seems like a pain in the ass and I don't have an electric drill. Is there any way I can just g r t an air pump to avoid the holes? Also what exact pump am I even lookin for?

you will regret building a worse performing and more expensive FC just because you dont feel like drilling a bunch of holes.

Laziness is not the trait you need for this hobby....with it you will not go far.
Yes, you can use an air pump....it by no means will perform like a SGFC would tho.
As for what kind of pump, a big one. I have nothing further to add on that topic because I have not really messed with inferior techniques.
You can also melt the holes... just build a SGFC

Hey guys I'm not being lazy my thought was it may be a fresher environment so I decided to see if that was.

if you don't have a drill i'd listen to pussyfart and melt them with a Phillips screwdriver that's actually how i make holes in my mono except i melt holes with a short section of 1 1/2" metal sink pipe shit works great next time try to wrap it up into one post you have 3 on the board right now basically about the same thing....

It's not a fresher environment. In what universe would a pump out perform a chamber literally covered in holes for fae? If you wanna waste money doing what every other noob did. Which is failed and then ended up making a sgfc, then so be it! It may sound harsh, but harsh is truth. Get a 1/4" nail/screw driver and a blow torch. Honestly just do it right. You'll be patting yourself on the back afterwards, and you wouldn't have to worry if you are doing things badly.
