Idea on grow compartment (pics)

Earlier last week i asked about setting up a grow compartment using a half entertainment/bookshelf. I was going to attach a hose splitter and have 2 hoses running from the humidifier into the compartment. I'm now thinking that i could just set the humidifier inside the compartment and cut out the plastic behind where the air is sucked in, and tape it. Then cut small holes and fill them will pollyfill for gas exchange? Would this idea work? I have a couple days before my jars are ready.

It sat inches about a fish tank for 3 years. I'm sure the humidity was pretty intense. The water left calcium buildup or something on the other light and it never went out or caused any problems.

Do as you please. I really doubt the humidity was even close. But... you decide! It's like... matches can burn your house down but they can't be forbidden! 
Enjoy your grow!
A better option would be do leave the lamp just above the FC. You don't need it to be so high. You aren't growing trees.

Condensation man. Condensation. Get ahold of some electrical silicone sealant if you want to keep using that fixture. I would recommend using a treble light with a 6500k bulb in it.

Based on the picture of my grow chamber, what do you recommend I set the humidifier timer for? How long should I let it run to keep it at a reasonable humidity, and not go overboard. Its about 3'9" long 20" high and 15" deep. Maybe run it 1 min on 5-10 mins off?

Play with it till you get what you want. There's no way anyone can tell you that kind of info, too many variables.

I was just hoping for some info on what people use in theirs. I mean if you told me the size of your grow area and how you did it, i would have something to work from. I have never used a humidifier before, so it could be 20 mins on, 1 min off, or vice versa. It would be very helpful if someone where to just step me in the right direction then I could figure it out from there...
