I know to get an evaporative humidifiers. It's for the drying area. It's about 75sqft. There's only one company that I've found that puts a humidistat it to control exact rh levels. Was hoping to get some feedback or opinions or advice from someone who's used them. Here's the 2 I've picked out. All the other ones I found just have high/med/low settings. And I'm worried in that small of an area even the lowest setting would be too much.

AIRCARE 7D6 100 Tabletop Humidifier https://a.co/d/17zRvWB

AIRCARE D-Series Small Home/ Large Room Humidifier (1,250 sq ft, White) https://a.co/d/6PByNL6

Do not get an evaporative humidifier...they aren't worth a fuck imo. Don't rely on its controller..get something simple with a good sized tank.
Get a wifi inkbird humidity controller place the probe closer to the drying area.
Don't aim the mist at the stalks. Have a fan pointing at the floor just to circulate the air and humidity well. Something that small I'd do:
Vicks Filter-Free Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier, Medium Room, 1.2 Gallon Tank-Humidifier for Baby and Kids Rooms, Bedrooms and More https://a.co/d/8rUjT6X

I thought about using an inkbird. It sounds like a good idea. I have one for heating/cooling. I got advice that cool must humidifiers don't evenly spread. But I wanted to hear what you guys had to say.

For the drying area I used pvc and foam board to partition off a section of the grow room. I wasn't going to use a tent to dry but I'm still kinda thinking it through. I have the t6 it's what I use now to dry, in a tent. But I thought about just eliminating the tent. I thought of I just let the humidifier maintain 60% then a heater or cooler controlled by an inkbird. It's only a 75sqft room. I thought it wouldn't be too hard to control. What do you think?

Temps are the most important imo. I think your plan will work fine.

Thanks bro. Was planning on using a radiator type heater but it's going to be tricky being at work everyday. The temps here at night get down to the 30's in winter but the days are still in the 60's a lot of times. It's going to be a challenge with the temps. Thanks for the advice.

Run your lights during the colder hours for the added heat

Man I really wanna do this. It would be difficult to work out with my work schedule. But electricity is cheaper at night and if I had the lights on then it would save a ton in heat. I just gotta give it some thought. I actually just did and I think I could easily make it work. I guess I'll just have to wait until the next round. I don't know how I'd completely change the light cycle like that while they're in flower.

Get a inkbird humidistat with WiFi that connects to your iPhone https://inkbird.com/products/humidity-controller-ihc-200-wifi

And get one of these Humidifiers https://www.hg-hydroponics.co.uk/ram-ultrasonic-humidifier---13l-12580-p.asp

Put the inkbird at the back of the tent and run the sensor through the bottom of the tent and hang it up on a rope ratchet.
And don't use tap water in the humidifier. Only use RO water

I'm thinking about the Inkbird. The humidifier bk shared connects to your phone and you can set the rh % on it. If it's not accurate I'll pick up the inkbird. I'm hoping they'll ask me to test that new one.
