Got few questions here  Daytime temperature is 19c nighttime goes lower of course,so decided to install heat pad.Have read that it is not worth as it dries perlite quickly.. any suggestions? Those 2 cakes where put into fc last friday,no signs of progression yet,is everything good?on one of them on the top,I believe is mold,doesnt look like myc,what do you think. Last question and probably can sound stupid,but does my sgfc looks alright,is there not to much holes in it?

The hole set up on your sgfc looks fine but it needs to be elevated and not sitting on a heating pad. The holes on the underside are where you get most convection through the perlite for humidity.

No mold. Heating pads are worthless your worrying over nothing. And you need about 4-6 inches of perlite in there. Holes are supposed to be 2" apart so 
Portabella is right. If you cant get that SGFC lifted off the bottom your gonna be fucked. you need free flowing air around all six sides

As long as you have holes on all 6 sides, including the bottom, 2" apart in a grid. Never hear the chamber, heat the room but 66 degrees is fine for fruiting no additional heat needed.

Or use the search engine.see what the guy who came up with the SGFC says about the same noob idea every noob has, based on noob assumption
The shotgun terrarium works by having cooler air under and warmer air in the terrarium itself, caused by the lights and cakes or other substrates which provide heat. Since warm air is less dense than cool air, the cool air from below comes up into the terrarium, scrubbing moisture from the perlite to humidify the air above. Placing a heat source under the terrarium defeats the purpose. RR
. You can't heat an FC or all your humidity will become worthless condensation on the walls. You need to grow mushrooms at normal room temperature. RR
Etc...

Most heat pads are far too powerful. I use heating myself sometimes, but the heater is only 2W.

Pour got water on the perlite. Measurements very but it will completely solve your problem. I only use heating pads for colonizing my jars
