There are a few ways to maintain humidity...

I Do what you do, Use the water.

Fish tanks are good to hold in humidity
 
Misting your plants helps a little and perhaps a small open cup of water under the lights will evaporate into the air over time for more humidity. Can anyone verify this as being valid or a good idea?
 
i know how 2 change humidity. tubs of water etc. i need 2 know how 2 keep it at 50 %. any1 know a cheap method thats works real well??
 
ERM. Get a meter and open up your exhaust until it keeps steady where you want it. Or build your habits around watching the humidity gague.
 
any one hear of an evaperative cooler or swamp cooler.'

walmarthas little ones called humidifiers
 
Yeah you could try sticking a tobacco humidifier disk or two in there and kinda feel it out over the course of a light period. Id think once the lights are off for the night you should take them out though.
 
if you get even a semi-decent humidifier it will have a humidistat in it. that means it will turn itself off once the room gets to the level you want it at(40-50%)
 
my idea was like $1.00 per humidifier disk ... I dont know if something that small scale will work though.
 
make your own humidifier.

take a tub/large pot/whatever

fill it with water, perhaps a drop or two of bleach

place a cotton fabric(t-shirt/towel) in the tub and then hang it up with some of it still touching the water in the tub

put a fan either blowing at or along the surface of the t-shirt.
 
I don't know if this is going to sound stupid or not, but I use this device when I was growing mushies, and if you got a larger air pump, I'd bet it just might be exactly what your looking for, and yes mogie...it is around $10.00
