Mini mono tub incubation phase - 4 days later

Hi guys, I just moved the jars to coco coir (with some contamination) to my mini mono tub on Sunday, today is Friday and I really can't see what is going on because of the plastic I put, should I open and vent / mist a little bit or do I wait 10 days to avoid contamination?

well you should let it colonize, nothing wrong with peaking to see wtf is going on though

  It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn I'm tired do me a favor

No need to vent / mist until you're going to fruit.
Best to not open the tub if you can stand waiting another few days or so. The longer you let the CO2 build up the quicker it will fully colonize.
But if you want to take a quick peak like cronicr said no harm no foul.

let me see if I understand When the mycelium grows it needs C02, when it becomes fruit it needs oxygen. Is there any simple article that explains the lifecycle of cubensis?
Thanks!

You can open your tub during colonization 20x a day if you want. The co2 quickly builds back up.
And yes, during fruiting mushrooms need FAE (fresh air exchange)

Did you try searching? This only took me a few seconds to find. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/8045435
CO2 is a byproduct of mycelium growth.
Primary pinning triggers are full colonization and FAE.
If you open your tubs too often before full colonization you invite contams into the uncolonized sub and can initiate pinning too soon (small flush).
Fully colonized sub is pretty contam resistant.

Most people grow with coir these days. If you can spawn to bulk with no gloves, mask, or any precautions at all, cracking the lid to look inside won't contaminate it.
Although, no one will realistically be opening a tub that often anyway.
