No Evap Near Mono Holes

I have a 66qt mono that I put into fruiting conditions 3 days ago. Per Frank's dialing in tek, I have 2 1.5" holes stuffed tightly with poly on each of the long sides near the sub and 1 1.5" holes up near the lid on each of the short sides.
I have a small fan in the room running on low, not blowing directly at the tub. Temps have ranged from the mid 70's to the low 60's due to the room's poor insulation. We're in the midst of a cold snap, so the temps are in the lower 60's for the next few days.
Unlike Monos I have done in the past, I have been unable to get a nice line of evaporation running from the top holes to the sub. Even with the holes empty, the most evaporation I get is a 1" circle around each of the top holes. The lower holes have a slightly smaller ring of evaporation.
I know that condensation forms due to a temperature differential between the inside of the tub and the outside, but could that differential be so high as to overcome the air coming in through the empty top holes, and therefore showing no signs of evaporation?
My concern is that FAE is not getting occurring at the rate it needs to somehow.

Perfect....find that with stuffed holes and u will be golden.

Dry rings is all you get.....it's perfectly normal.

It is, calm down.

Thanks PF.
I'll put some light poly in the top holes this morning and check for the same rings tonight.

my poly in the top holes are super loose, much looser than franks tek, although i suppose it could have to do with the humidity or temp of the room your tubs are in... lower temps increase condensation on the inside of the tubs, your probably fine if your doing things the same as you always have with good prior results
