Humidity during colonization?

Using this tek, do I need to mist during colonization? Also, during colonization how does the humidity stay okay with the lids turned upside down? https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22337800

This tub fruiting method is extremely low maintenance. No fanning is required, mist if needed, which will be infrequently. Some occasions I find I have to actually remove the lid because the surface is too moist, other times the corners get a little dry and need a light misting. If you can brush your teeth at home you have more than enough time to visit a tub once or twice during fruiting.
As said above you may have to mist twice a day or once every few days or even not at all. I will sometimes bottom water by pouring water down the sides of the tub after the pins are in, and as always only mist if the surface needs it. Bottom watering is usually helpful for subsequent flushes. If you're using this tek you shouldn't need to ask me how to water your mushrooms. You need to develop a feel for it and deal with that learning curve or already have the experience under your belt in dealing with fruiting substrates. Of course you can jump right in but don't expect to know everything overnight.
surface conditions are very important. You can't simply whip one of these together and expect it to work with no experience, no eye for things, no mycologist's green thumb.
Skill plays a much of a roll as methods. You also need to be able to produce clean spawn and determine conditions.

I read that, when I check the humidity in there it is around 70-80. Is the humidity higher in the soil, or should I just add more moisture. Sorry for the ignorance.

Humidity needs to be 90%+ only at sub level. As in, right over the sub...the very moist, evaporating sub. I live in a coastal city, so RH is 70+ on most days. Whenever it’s rainy, I take all the lids off my tubs for the day. Makes me feel like I’m super-charging them with freshness lol....okay that part’s in my head, but I’ve prolly avoided a few contam outbreaks by doing this.
