I don't know what others do, but since growing orchids for many years and using a similar material as potting medium, I can tell by looking if there is too little moisture. Unscientific explanation, but its my experience. Most of the time I use pre-punched deli cups, occasionally more water is needed and is put in against the cup sides, never touching the eggs. For solid cups, I put 4 air holes in the top. Some folks don't use any air holes at all and do well. Those need to be opened I think once a week for air exchange.

1:1 ratio. No holes. It would cost too much to read humidity in every container, that's why they came up with a universal 1:1 measurement.

it's a 1:1 ratio by weight. ex) 200g superhatch : 200g water

weigh out your superhatch in the container. then slowly add water until the weight is doubled. that will give you a 1:1 ratio. i don't have holes in my containers, but i do vent them about once a week for air exchange. only mold i get is from bad eggs so far.
