Congrats on the new arrival
Theres no set schedule for when you need to moisten down the sub, just check on it every few days if it looks like it's drying out then dampen it down a bit.. Like you say you don't want to saturate it, you've done a good mixture for your sub so it should hold onto moisture pretty well and I'm pleased to see lots of ventilation as a lot of moisture dependant species can end up with mould issues ect when there's not enough air flow.
Good job sounds like you've got it spot on
