what's your max/min temps ?
Do you run the lights at the coolest part of the day ?
As the temps go up the humidity goes down

Bucket of water with a towel half in half out works great

I can’t keep my humidity up at all. It’s been getting better, humidifier runs 24/7. But it goes all the way down to 24-30%. I don’t know if it’s because I live in a dry area, or what. I’m thinking of buying another humidifier to place next to my tent and run that as well

I actually did the bucket of water with the towel in my tent it's been steady between 47 to 53% for at least 4 hours so far I'm finding this to be a much cheaper option to my humidifier

I was at 29% before I did this and I just realized that was with my exhaust up just turned it down sitting at 55% good enough for me. We will see if it holds. My temp just hit 80° by doing that but I'm okay with that. Plus plants seem to be loving it

As long as you have decent airflow and quality cheaper the better in my opinion. Do you have a filter hooked up to the exhaust?

I just got my exhaust on Amazon last week just over 100 bucks with carbon filter, 4" fan, ( my tent isn't as big as I thought so 6" not needed for now) and tubing with straps and clamps. If you can splurge a bet at least on that and lights you should be sitting pretty

I have a 600w HPS. I just am struggling with my humidity mainly. It’s very hot and dry here, maybe the second humidifier will do the trick
