Take some time and read man. I literally posted this link twice, this information was almost at the very start of the thread. This hobby takes a lot of reading and learning. You cant expect answers on everything.
A properly made SGFC uses natural air currents to create high relative humidity (RH) and constant fresh air exchange (FAE).
The fresh air flows in through the bottom holes and rises up through the damp perlite assisting in evaporation. This evaporation is where you get your humidity.
Because humid air rises, it flows up and out the other holes, thus allowing more fresh air in through the bottom. This is how you get constant FAE without sacrificing humidity.

A lot of people have put in a lot of work and dealt with a lot of trial and error so that you don't have to. All you've got to do is read and follow the directions.
If you don't follow the directions of the tek and you end up with a shitty outcome (low yield, poorly developed fruits, etc.) Just remember that it is your fault.
Can you get a cube to fruit in less than ideal conditions? Absolutely. But when you put in the effort to do it right, you will end up with great results and save yourself time and energy.
The people giving you advice only want to see you succeed, because I am sure many of them have already made these mistakes before. We don't need to reinvent the wheel here. We just need to be willing to follow directions (to the T) and accept the fact that you are not an expert (yet).
The greatest part about this forum is you don't need to be an expert to have exceptional results, you just need to follow the directions that the experts have laid out.
If you can't make a proper sgfc, make a monotub. Good luck friend.

you absolutely can. but you better be there every hr. on the hr. fanning. dont mist too much or you could water sog them and cause bacterial blotch. dont leave town or you DEFINITELY will, unless you have a friend you can trust. oh and dont forget you cant let water pool in the bottom of a hole-less tub. easy start for bacteria. and pooling water attracts water vapor o that might mess with your humidity... ooooor you could just put holes in it like the tek said and avoid all this unwanted and unnecessary work. equal to or greater results with a fraction of the work...

Gonna use the tek, and build a stand too or I might just use jar lids... I have a laptop fan that blows air up so I could use it to blow air in through under the sgfc

I.. don't recommend that. If it's properly built the SGFC will just work.

Fanning isn't really necessary. The only time it's ever a remotely good idea to fan it is immediately after misting it, so help jumpstart evaporation and increase the humidity. Could just as easily leave it alone for 5 minutes and it'd do it on its own. All you really wanna do is exchange the air in the chamber with new air, not necessarily fan the hell out of it. Just getting the old air out is enough.

Mushrooms are 90% water so... definitely want the cakes to get some of it. If you can avoid the mushrooms that's usually good to make drying easier later, but the mycelium is probably thirsty.

Do you want the cakes wet to the touch ? Or just damp I've seen people say that water droplets on your cakes can harm it

Just glistening with tiny droplets, no pooling, no waterlogging. If it looks dull and kind of dry, mist til it glistens, if it's still glistening, let it be. You'll figure out what dry looks like.

Damp and wet to the touch are pretty much the same thing.
Mist until you see the whole cake is glistening with moisture but no pooling on the top or sides has happened.
Inoc just used a great word, dull. If it looks dull, mist it. If it looks shiny give it some time. A dry cake will literally look like a dry cake, I don't know how else to describe it
