Humidity levels?

Good Morning all
My humidity levels in my 4x4 tent are really low, my temperatures are good as far as I know about 81* during the day, and about 78* during the evening. I run the light cycle during the night,, I live in South Texas. I have central AC in my home,, but the room my tent is in, is the farthest away from the AC unit, so the room runs very warm during the day. To that end I installed an window unit in the room to help with the temperature and humidity levels. I have got the temps to stabilize but my humidity is really low anywhere between 28% to 32%.
How can I raise the humidity while still keeping the temp in check?
Thank you in advance

Humidifier is the best bet. People use open buckets of water. (Would not advise). Try giving them a spray with just water at lights Off once or twice a week. In reality, a humidifier will be the best consistent solution. P.S. 30% humidity can produce some sticky girls.

That is some great information, but I am in the seedling stage.
Thank you for the help.

If your window ac is always cranking, it will reduce the rh. Try a higher ac setting or even shutting it off and see if that helps raise the rh.

But if I do that, the room will raise above 85 * in no time. The room is located on a corner of my house that receives the sun all day as it travels the sky, and here in Texas, it is HOT.
But no it is not always cranking on, it is placed on ECo mode, and the room is actully at about 75* outside the tent, with the RH being around, like right now it is at 37%.
