First monotub question about condensation on inside walls

So I created my first monotub last Sunday. Today is obviously day 7 and things appear to be going well. I don't have it inside of a plastic bag. I just taped up the 6 holes that I drilled into it with duct tape. It appears as though mycelium is covering the coir verm mix nicely. One concern I have is about the condensation that is forming all over the tub walls and on the inside of the lid. There are big water drops on the lid which obviously are falling back down onto the substrate. It doesn't look like its soaked by any means but I just wanted to make sure that this isn't doing anything that I need to be concerned about. Thanks for any help.

Just let it do its thing man. Condensation is ok. You may see pools of water on your substrate, that's fine too. Here's what mine looked like:

Hard to see but there were puddles of water. And I was worried cuz it looked congealed. But its nothing to worry about. Just wait until you see like a dozen pins and then remove all the tape and leave the holes open for a few hours with a fan blowing in the room. The moisture will evaporate. Then put some polyfil or something in the holes loosely just enough to keep RH up but allowing it to breathe as well.

Condensation is do to temperature differential between the ambient air and the air inside the tub...
Assuming you are growing inside, and assuming that your ceilings are roughly eight feet: The most temperature-stable air is typically found at mid-height. That would be between 3~5 feet from the floor, or between your waist and shoulders for an average adult male.
Be blessed.
