Converting a grow tent into Fruiting tent

So, i have an extra tent that 2x4x7 ft tall, and have a rack inside of it. Going to order inkbird, and/or an ac infinity fan kit.

Wondering what kind of setup others use, ive seen where people use a storage tub full of water and an ionizer, to create a fine mist to blow into the tent. Some ive seen just use a humidifier.

I live in a humid state to begin with, where humidity is always over 50% outside, so inside and inside a tent my humidity wont be too far off from where mushrooms want it to be.

How did the grow tent turn out?
It worked fine momentarily, but i think the way i ran the AC infinity Humidifier probably should have been with the vapor tube coming into the tent through a bottom port, instead of one at the top of the tent.

I believe the water vapor was able to recondensate back into droplets, over several weeks of water falling into the "do not add water here," the machine malfunctioned.

But, for a thrown together system, that i didnt tweak and monitor like i should have, it did pretty good, harvested about a Lb of dried shrooms, let some cakes dry up in it, and completely neglected it at the end. I need to start doing maybe 30 jars at a time, 3 or 4 strains, because once I've harvested several tubs, I'm kinda over it for a few months. Its a lot to keep up with when you have a dozen or more tubs trying to fruit, and they always mature when you don't really feel like harvesting, so unless you basically want ink all over you when you're harvesting, you better get them before they release millions of spores.

I need to get some more shrooms going soonish, but the tent i was using for that is now where im starting my seeds at, and keeping cuts / backups/ genetic library after i lost a couple of really nice cuts last month, one of which i considered an elite cut with the Golden Tiger x Panama. I'll probably just dub tub em in my flowering tents this go around and see how well that works, I certainly would like to see the benefits of some added CO2

And the only reason I'm thinking 30 jars is because of contamination, fruiting 18 or 20 gives quite a few mushrooms
