PFTEK without daily ventilating?

Hello everyone!
I am a wanna-be grower. Have talked to friends, and checked around the net.
Found a very informative and clear guide to PFTEK on YouTube (. In this one, they use a layer of wet Perlite under the cakes for moisturizing the fruiting stage.
I was wondering if the following would be a good idea: what if I made some holes in the growing chamber for exchange of air (O2 in, CO2 out)? Then of course moisture would escape too, but my idea is to have a slow water drip into the Perlite to replace that evaporation. In this way I wouldn't have to air the chamber manually, and could even be away for days?
I wonder if anyone has done this, and the results

Go search. Growing mushies requires effort. If you can't even put the effort into finding the info find a new hobby

Sorry. Yes, I searched the forums (and elsewhere). YouTube and other sites are full of crap, but also some good. All the serious sources seem to give basically the same info. I just didn't see anybody trying just what I proposed.
Maybe the evaporation would be too large with the air flow the mushrooms require, so I would have to refill water tanks every day anyhow...

There are standard style pf teks posted with pictures all over this website.
The great thing about these teks are that they are very simple to implement and they produce results.
You could choose any one of them and if you follow them to the letter you will most likely wind up with fruits in abundance. Why anyone would want to deviate from a proven tek in an attempt to improve it without any grow skill or experience seems narcissistic at best.
Recipe for success:
1) Read this forum, read the teks, read the questions, read the answers, if you're confused, ask a question.
2) Choose a proven tek for your grow, some teks get used more than others, there is probably a reason for this, choose a well established tek and there will be plenty of people with hands on experience that can help you if you run into a problem. So decide what proven tek meets your needs and run with it.
3) Don't deviate from the tek, no adding a pinch extra of this or maybe skimping on that. You're not an expert yet, don't trick yourself into thinking you are.
Growing mushrooms can be fun and easy if you let it be. Hope this helps someone. Happy shrooming to all!

Thanx for friendly and informative reply. Yes, you are right, experimenting is not for the newbie, gotta learn the traditional ways first. That's probably what upset some of the guys here.
I'll be back some other time with hopefully more intelligent questions
Enjoy the summer! (those on the northern hemisphere...)

experimenting does not mean using a known inferior method IMO
