Possible to have too many holes in Shotgun Tek?
    #9532433 -

I recently made my fruiting chamber and it is the Shotgun Tek. I drilled a ton of holes about half the size of a pencil into it with about an inch space between them. I did not however drill them into the lid or the bottom side because I thought I over did it. Just curious to know if I screwed up my FC and if so what can I do to fix it. The FC is 1 of those 50 or 58 quart bins, I dont remember because I took the sticker off.

it important to have the holes in the bottom, and the fc sitting 1-3 inches off a surface to allow for proper air circulation

I'm sure its fine.  Drill the rest of the holes everywhere, space em apart more if you're worried.  You might just have to mist more frequently, but more holes = more FAE = more pins.

Thanks for the help. Yea I was reading that somebody had made to many big holes and his perlite was drying out and the humidity wasnt staying to high thats why I was a lttle worried.

If you can't keep the humidity up, just tape up some of the holes.

Yes, you screwed it up by not finishing.  Drill holes in the top and bottom and it will work properly.  You're supposed to use 1/4"/6mm holes.  Don't deviate from the size if you want it to work properly.
