Mono tub and Martha Humidity question

just for those who are gonna suggest it, I already used the search engine. Every time I read anything about a mono tub or a Martha greenhouse. I never see anything about humidity except for a humidifier. From my experience a humidifier can only raise the RH to about %50-%65. How is the humidity brought up to %85 and up? Is the moisture from the casing layer all you have to worry about, and just have the humidifier to keep the casing layer from drying out to fast?

With a monotub all you have to do is keep the room at the proper temperature and the subrstrate will provide the humidity and holes properly stuffed with polyfill will keep it in.
Some people have to use 2 humidifiers to get proper humidity in a martha. They use a cool mist, usually running 24/7 for humidity and FAE, and if that doesn't provide enough humidity they add an ultrasonic and put it on a timer. I personally use a cool mist when I use my martha. I put it on the bottom shelf and run it 24/7 and it keeps the tent around 95% RH.
-------------------- But wait, there's more...

A cool mist uses an impeller motor to push mist and air into the atmosphere. An ultrasonic uses ultrasonic sound waves to generate mist. It doesn't provide any air exchange, but provides a high level of humidity.

I've done both, I've been more successful with tubs, and they are easy as hell.

Note that the term 'cool-mist' is kind of a generic term used by manufacturers to describe any humidifier that doesn't put out heated mist. The cool mist that you want is the impeller type. Wick type humidifiers can only increase the humidity to about 70% so check if that's what the problem is.
