Yes, the holes should be a little above your desired sub-level. In the other picture it looked like the holes being just in the corners, my bad 
You don't need to tilt the lid, just flip it over. There are airgaps then. Keep an eye on once or twice a day for moisture. Only mist if needed

Thanks everyone for all your help!
So, how come every video I watch says you Must mist and fan 4 times a day? They say it like its an absolute with no exceptions. Thank God for this site or my friend would have ruined her grow. 😉
So, hypothetically, it seems you might never have to fan or mist before the first flush if everything is dialed in correctly? Or am I totally missing something?

It's all up to your conditions. Noone knows where you're living, only you know about your environment, so temperature, humidity and so on. There's no 'one-for-all-setup'. You can follow the teks to the t, and tweak from there.
And yes, monotubs are made for this. Once dialed in properly, you leave them on their own. No fanning, only mist if needed.
Perhaps you saw some videos about growkits? Or maybe some outdated ones?
In the last link i sent before you'll find lots of great videos.
Good luck and enjoy

Nope you're 100% correct. Once you learn to dial in your conditions (as in learn how to properly hydrate your substrate and allow optimal FAE for YOUR specific environment/climate) a monotub will take little to no effort. That's the beauty of a monotub. Maybe a mist with a spray bottle here and there. Obviously this takes a few grows, but that's why it is important to keep notes.
Also, here's a good link on surface conditions. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23999053 Really good resource

Yes you`re so right.
Indeed there are so many stupid and dangerous informations out there.
Perhaps they rely on mycology books from the 19th century?  Thank god people get any information they need on this site

Can’t thank everyone enough! Don’t even want to think about how bad things could have turned out with all that moisture. There’s still a lot but not like there was. Lots of water beads on top too, but seems like that’s good. Right? Will post some pictures later. She’s getting very excited!

Yes. Tiny water droplets.
But now she’s a little worried because looks like there might be cobweb. First grow so not sure. There’s like a fine almost fuzzy layer over everything. Kinda grayish. Just thought it would turn white soon and that was the first stage before it would be white but it’s still there and the more researching that’s done the more freaked out she’s getting. Trying to post pics but the upload is down on the site it keeps saying.
This isn’t the best picture but only one that was able to be taken before the upload issues.
Also read to spray some 3% on a small patch and see if it fizzed and she thinks it did a little.

Can't recognize without colours. A bit cobweb is easy to beat, but it spreads very fast. So catch it as early as possible. Peroxide melts it away quickly.

It’s strange. It’s like part of the soil too. It’s only day 7 so maybe it’s normal? Put a paper towel down on a section and when pulled away the substrate was just less moist. No cobweb looking stuff came away.
I hope 7 day’s is enough time for the mycelium in there to develop a good immune system because she’s been in there with paper towels and poking around and stuff. Contam city. Lol.
Anyway, will try and get better pictures when the sites upload is working again.

The pic isn’t great but I don’t see anything in there that makes me think mold. Cobweb is nearly unheard of these days, if you have any holes in the tub you won’t likely have cobweb.

Now that I look at it more the pic seems weird af? What’s going on in the right side of the image? Looks like some odd photoshop or something. For good diagnosis it’s important to get as natural as light as possible and never crop or use filters.
