It'll be fine.

In my opinion, airlocks on buckets are usually pretty pointless because it's rare to find a bucket which has a gas-tight lid, and if the pressure can escape any other way your trap won't bubble.

If it's got a head of foam, it's working :thumb:

You are going to need to check the progress of your beer with your hydrometer!
The foamy head will only last a couple of days or so.
