HUMIDITY Question

I purchased a grow tent to grow my plants in. They are about two weeks old now. The temperature in there is good, but my humidity is constantly low (~ 20%). The soil is definitely moist enough, and I spray the plants a few times a day to compensate for the low humidity, but I am not sure exactly what to do:

1. Should I just keep misting and not worry?
2. Should I buy a humidifier?
3. If so, warm mist (steam?) or cool mist?

Thoughts?

Thanks!

The Bigger They Get The More Humid It Will Get...big Fan Leaves Release A Lot Of Moisture Very Fast So I Would Just Hang In There A Few More Weeks..humidity Is Most Important During Flowering And Harvest..if It Is Real Dry In There Now You Might Get Some White Flies Or Spider Mites But They Are Very Easy To Control With Water Or Organic Bug Spray(organocide Is One I Use Very Cheap And Works Very Good For Bugs And Mold. Keep Spraying For A Couple More Weeks And See How It Goes Up While The Plants Get Bigger

Mine is also real low. I had big plants with big fan leaves and it did not help with humidity at all. I wasn't worried cuz it started getting dry at flower time. My other humidifier was an evaporative and it attracted fungus gnats. I just bought an ultrasonic holmes humdifier which is a cold mist and it works like a charm. You can't hear it running and there are no filters and it's water is not really exposed like the other types.
