what is wrong with my martha

I have a martha setup i have a cool mist inside the martha with the intake connected to flexible duct pipe to a hole on the martha wall to bring in fresh air. the cool mist is on the bottom shelf i have a 4 shelves set up in the martha the cool mist is on the last one.
I also have a ultra sonic humidifier hooked up on the outside of the marth to a hose going to the top of the martha. I have the cool mist and ultrasonic hooked up to a timer that can be setup for every 15 minutes on or off...
I then have a 6" duct fan for fae on the top of the martha through the roof on an angle this is on 24/7. I also had a second 6" duct fan on the bottom shelf on an angle also 24/7. i had coffee filters rubber band onto the ends of the fans for dust protection but that slowed the air flow so i took the top fans filter off and the martha looks like a balloon i also had taken a hot nail and poked holes in the martha along with a few slits here and there.
I had 4 trays one contamed so left with three... the other night i accdentaly took a spray bottle that i thought was distilled water which was actually water and bleach and misted the trays and the martha i tried to wipe it off but i am not sure if that cause damage they dont look bad or decaying like there dead but wondering what should i do to make my martha work?
I used to use a two tier green house and had no problems but when i went biger everytime i get to this point my trays go bad or nothing happens... now the temp and humidity are at 70-75 degrees and humidity 85-99 % also i have two shop lights on the sides of the martha with daylight bulbs in them not just regular flouresent bulbs which does make the temps jump and the fans make the humidity jump... should i go back to the green house? or maybe i should just do one tray at a time?

? You haven't explained the specific problem. You said 1 tray contamned and you accidentally sprayed bleach on the others, but they are fine.
What's the dilemma? 1 tray goes bad and you ready to ditch the whole greenhouse? I'm confuzed.

opps the dilema is that i have had them in for over a week now and nothing has become of them.. there was a couple days i turned down the humidifiers by setting the timer from going on every 15 and off for 15 minutes to 15 minutes on and off for 30 minutes. the trays seemed to have dried a bit so i misted them and changed back to 15 min on 15 min off. the temos have stayed in the range of 70-75 but not sure if i do not have enough fae or the humidity is off or the trays being sprayed with bleach ruined it.. but like i also said the last few trys in the same martha failed as well nothing became of them except after some time they contamed...

Sounds like you're close to optimizing it. Maybe the first ones got too wet and got bacteria? I would just keep tweaking it. Don't give up on it so easily.
