Open containers of water will raise humidity in an enclosed space. If its in a small area, like a closet, a bucket with some water in it might be enough. In a room, maybe you'd need more than one bucket. If you have a hygrometer you can see how much of an effect one bucket will make

I use a humidifier to boost my humidity levels, I live in a dry climate.

You definately want to try and bump up your humidity or your buds will dry too quick and won't have a chance to break down all the nasty stuff.

Drying your weed that fast can really harm the outcome and lower tha quality of the end product.
It won't allow for proper and thorough breakdown of the substances which lower quality / taste / appearance; like chlorophyll.
And it doesn't allow terpenoids to mature either.
I'd say a 6-7 day dry is about the fastest you want to go.
14+ day dry will improve the quality of your weed (especially if you also cure it properly and long enough).
