Am I getting enough FAE???

I made a fruiting chamber to hold 3 shoebox totes. I drilled 2 holes on each long side 1 inch above substrate depth and 4 holes on each short side near the top. In my opinion I appear to be getting good FAE but wudduiknow this is only my 2nd grow.
The reason I believe I am getting enough FAE is because the whole tub holding the 3 shoeboxes stays at 100% humidity and there is condensation all around except near my FAE holes. I read somewhere that if the condensation isn't around your FAE holes you are more than likely getting adequate FAE.

Theyd do better outside of the tub. The shoebox is the fruiting chamber

Here is how I'm set up

Here is how colonization is doing so far

I've read your posts on just using a plastic bag and also read enough dub tub posts to make my head spin. I want to avoid dubbing them but have no issue using a plastic bag. Am I just better off using a plastic bag here bod? Am I trying to be too snazzy? I just want to be able to get the right amount of FAE and also monitor surface conditions easily.

I think its a quick way to hurt your chances of an awesome grow putting shoeboxes in a tub. I don't get awesome pinsets worrying about humidity. Its one of the things that's not really on my mind growing cubes.

Bods right, your just risking things by putting them in a tote. I followed bods shoebox teq on my last grow of P.E.,s. Just a plastic Walmart bag with some pencil sized holes at the top and bottom of the bags, pulled over the shoebox. Worked like a charm! Shout out to you Bod👍

And the bag is really just there so you don't have to mist more than once or twice a day. It doesn't need the bag at all if you want to mist it a little more often.

Thanks bod, I have been reading your posts and and studying your teks for years now just for fun and to retain information before I could even start this process. Your feedback is very much respected and appreciated as vaguely straight forward and smart assy as it seems sometimes. I have 2 other shoeboxes that were spawned at the same time as the ones pictured and they appear to be healthy. If I were to use your plastic bag method I saw? How can I monitor surface conditions? Or do I even NEED to monitor surface conditions with that method...

Take the bag off and look at the surface. Or i guess peek through the holes.

Okay thanks guys I'm going to definitely try the plastic bags with my other 2 shoeboxes and go re-read that thread right now.

I harvested one shoebox so far. I had to harvest half yesterday and the other half today. I got 12.3 cracker dry grams from about half the shoebox and am dehydrating the other half right now.

Here's how the other two are doing.
