you could have a bucket of water with a towel or piece of cloth as a wick and have an oscilating fan blowing at the bucket

or


you could hang damp towels up around your room but these will need re-wetting every few hours


my concern for you is not the RH you are experiencing but the fact you are using a 600w on seedlings .

i personally use
24w T5 6400k for 10days
200w ECO CFL for 10-15days
then under my 600w

i am a great believer in taking care of them with more gentle lights during the earlier stages rather than risking excessive heat.

if you use CFL's to begin with your RH would be higher due to less heat output than with HID lighting ..

which leads me to a Q for you ..Are you ventilating your grow room and what are your temps?
