It’s automatic. You set the Rh you want. Once it reaches the rh you want it turns offf. If it falls below it turns on. Light can be turned off. The mist had the adjustment. Low medium high. I rate it a 9/10. It loses a point cuz I set it 5 rh lower than what I desire Cuz I feel like the gauge on the humidifier reads 5 less rh than the indoor thermometer. Example I’ll set it to 55 rh, my thermometer reads 50 rh. I turn it up 5 rh higher on the humidifier problem fixed. Although that has a lot to do with optimizing your air flow. Which is one thing I’m working on.

Going to definitely get one as well as drying whole plant and paper bags, but I'll try humidifier first

Easily one of the best investments. You don’t gotta run and worry about your tent every hour. Once it’s set it’s set.
You're asking if a humidifier will help for your drying area, which has low humidity? Yes.
BTW, all the desktop style humidifiers, the vast majority of them; all the "ultrasonic humidifiers" can be easily, cheaply made. They're all the same in function. It's the same as one of those little cheap aromatherapy atomizers/misters as well. It's just an ultrasonic disc, in a container that keeps the water level at a certain height, with a small reservoir on top that keeps the container/water level the constant for the ultrasonic disc. But the res is almost always too small anyway.
The ultrasonic discs are about $15, a bucket/tote/whatever is as cheap as you wanna be really, and a small pc/axial fan (or whatever you have really) to blow into one hole in you tote, and force the mist out another hole and you're done.
Hook it up to a method for controlling the rh and that's about it.

I tried that, sort of, and it's doing almost nothing...I'll have to full ass it next try. It's gotta be how I set it up.
I need a long towel so it goes into the pail further. need add water daily. Also if the towel wrapped completely around the fan it would better, I I think.
