Shotgun Terrarium Tek

Hi Guys -
I was looking for the shotgun terrarium tek for pan cyans, but for some reason RR's video link is not working - Yes I did buy his videos, but this is not in them?
Is this method for fruiting pans still up-to-date or are there better pan fruiting teks?
Cheers

The SGFC isn't species specific. It's at the end of the pf tek videos when it talks about Fruiting
You hardly need the tek these days. 1/4 holes in a 2 inch grid. All 6 sides. With 4-6 inches of perlite.

Ah okay. Is there any way you could point me to a photo of that setup. That is every two inches do a quarter inch hole on all four sides?, say somewhere above the casing level? This is thus a different method to 'dialing in'?
Also the perlite is on the bottom to provide humidity and the pans can be cased in shallow plastic trays suspended above the perlite, on say an old oven grill or something.
Much appreciate your clarification

Awesome  It looks like the cakes can sit right ontop of that perlite without suspension? Whew. Sure glad I don't have to fork out for an air/exchange humidifier!

put your cakes on a small square of foil, or lids, or lids covered in foil

All six sides not all four sides. Tubs have six sides. If you out holes on only four sides of a SGFC its not even a SGFC

Alright, sounds like an awesome way to go. Might use paper towels instead of perlite, as less silica to breath in! Should get up to 90pc humidity at 20 deg ambient temperature I hope. Had to go with a 50L tub, as the store only had sizes of 50L and 80L Thanks guys

Paper towels will work they just need to be replaced as needed.

Aren't paper towels counter productive? Blocking holes at the bottom of the sgfc? Repeatedly handling your cakes to change the paper towels?

Does this look about right?

The plastic is all flimsy and it is hard not to crack and break the container. Found these little black tubbies that you can fit right in the container. They call them hangers at the store, but eight will fit in and they each come with lids
If I were to pack them with some mexicana grain and case in peat Moss:Calcium Carbonate, 10:1, should I just leave the lids off and start applying light or try and get the mycelium poking through the casing before they go in the terrarium - That is apply the high Co2, low light conditions for the mex cakes to pin first?
I haven't been able to fruit mex before this is why I ask.
Cheers

No they are breathable...set your cakes on jar rings wrapped in foil.

Dumb question, but how do you stop perlite from falling through the holes you just drilled? Or isn't it an issue once you hydrate it?
