Bigger, deeper container holds more water. Mix coco/vermiculite/etc. to soil(?) to hold more H20. Move fan to blow higher, maybe at the light - not directly at soil. A few tips to get started. Do you live in low humidity climate? If so, do you have too much ventilation?
Glass on the light bottom should reduced temps, and thus evaporation, a bit.
