My mini-GH is soooooo wet.

So I busted out the mini-GH I've had sitting around for two years. Cleaned it up and put my King Oyster bags inside 
It's a 4-tier mini-GH mounted into a drip tray. I put my cool mist into the bottom with a little perlite to soak up the dripping. It's a vicks v400, about 1.5 years old, so it should be before they started cheaply manufacturing them (RR would know for sure, I remember him mentioning that somewhere)
I leave the plastic cover unzipped about up to the first tier of the GH (1/4 of the way up).
The RH is good for my KOs, sits between 85 and 90.
Problem is that everything is soooooooo wet. If I didn't have plastic over my KO bags, the subs would be SOAKED.
So help me, Shroomery, how can I decrease the amount of wet that builds up in my GH?

Ok Frank, you are way more experienced than i.
Im thinking a fan on top of your greenhouse. Get some airflow to pull some of that moisture out.
Another idea that just dawned on me. this is a theory....
Take a dimmer switch and hook it to your cool mister. Lower the voltage until you get just the right amount of mist.
Even put some kind of plate for the mist to smack into and drip off before it enters the open space in your greenshouse.

The main problem i see here is you have too much water not phase changing. It never makes it to vapor. It remains particles. So when it settles it just wet. The pinning trigger is the water evaporating off your sub, which wont happen with this moist of an environment. So my thought is a timer, Mist for x amount of time, then a fan for x amount of time. Playing teeter totter like this should keep the water always evaporating.
How cold is it in the winter where you are??
The only reason i have so many posts, is because im really into greenhouses and fruiting chambers right now.
The reason i ask is, they have temperature controllers on ebay that you can hook to any heat source. Put the probe in your greenhouse. Set your temperature right where you want it. If the heater is somehow under your greenhouse or your greenhouse is vented in a way the heat could enter the bottom. The convection should hypercharge the evaporation. In theory.
