Default Misting my GBB?

Okies so i have an adult GBB, I've been told it likes it really dry but i forgot how much i am supposed to mist it? It has a water bowl although it spends nearly all of it's time ontop of the "canopy" made by fake plants so i doubt it's drunk from it buy i replace the water every 3 days anyways.

The substrate is coconut fibre, it took like 5 days to dry from when i wet it to expand it but it's dry now. My room temp and humidity are roughly 21-27c( higher at night for some reason) and 59-77%, varies like crazy lol.

Should i just lightly mist it once a week or something? Also when i do, do i just mist the substrate even though the spider hardly ever goes down there or do i mist it's web too, not sure if it would be annoying if it got a bit misted.

Just mist one end of the tanmk once a week. I usually mist on the webbing.
