i use a hair dresser sprayer & it's super fine. you don't have to be as gentle with those, i get pretty close sometimes. you just don't wanna blast it with huge drops of water like normal chemical sprayers tend to

you can totally open the tub to mist! it's not gonna cause contamination or anything. spawning is a dirty process & once you spawn it's in the hands of the mushroom gods.

A tub doesn't usually get contaminated from being opened up. We grow effectively in open air. Most of the time, when a tub does contaminate, it's because the spawn was already compromised.
So you're fine opening the tub lid, which shouldn't be airtight anyway, to mist. Though, again, if air and substrate field capacity are dialed in, there is often no need to mist at all until around the time of your first harvest.

Yeah if there's no beading on the mycelium go ahead and give it a little mist

This tub is from a kit I bought.  It has two green filter/vent things on the lid, so I'm guessing not entirely airtight?

I hope they're not touching the substrate (my eyesight ain't so good at the moment), but yes, so long as they have some holes there should be air.
Though I'm wondering if it's enough, but I think you'll know if you need more air soon enough. Have a free laugh.

They’re not touching. The next stage for this kit is to take the block of coir/myc and put into a kind of bag for fruiting. I’ll probably do that before I go away.

The filter strips are just for a little gas exchange
during colonization.
If you plan to place it in the bag and go away for a while,
iΒ΄d strongly recommend to poke a few holes to the bag,
as the filter patches on the bag wonΒ΄t provide enough air exchange for fruiting.
You may have a look here, and look there for the grid pattern of the holes in the bag.
After placing in the bag, you can easily go away for at least 2 weeks :wink:
