I have a question about my set up

2nd grow/ cakes
Heres my basic scaled down set up.
Just a tub- cakes inside- light on top on the outside of tub duct taped atop for added stability and awesome special effects.
Stored inside my spacious closet, possibly from the 1950's era.
Jars have been colonizing for about 3 weeks now, still has a ways to go.
Temp range is probably going from 68-70 degrees.....
I'm thinking the cakes will take longer to colonize because of the low temp compared to my first grow that I had control over the temperature and usually had it around 78 degrees.
Also I'm worried about once I put them in to fruit, I will be dunking and rolling those bad boys but Im worried about having enough humidity... not sure if they will create enough humidity by themselves as opposed to my first grow that temp could be controlled.
Will my cakes give off enough natural humidity? Will adding water to my perlite and having all 12 cakes inside my tub give enough humidity or should I invest in something else.
Mind you I'd prefer to not have to add to my set up. If anyone has had a similar set up let me know how it went for you. Any feed back would be appreciated guys

I went to a local store and bought a Cool Mist humidifier for the room I am keeping my first project in for about 12$. Yes adding water to the perlite will help with humidity.
