Using desiccant to keep moisture levels down OUTSIDE of a monotub?

Hey guys, I'm new to growing and about to get my first order of spores in the mail soon. I've been doing a lot of research and I think I have everything planned out for the most part, except for my actual container itself. I plan on doing a bulk monotub grow, and I want to use a cool mist for FAE and humidity. I think I know pretty much how to knock that out, but my real question is:
I'm probably going to have to keep everything in a closet, because that's really the only room I have to do this. I know it's probably not a good idea to do this with a humidifier, as it may end up ruining the closet. Would I be able to put a bowl of desiccant outside of the tub, like on the floor or up on a shelf maybe, to keep the moisture levels outside of the tub at a minimum? Or would the desiccant end up pulling moisture out of the tub as well? I feel like it might end up working properly, but want to know what any of you guys think?

If it makes you feel better I guess but I'll prolly fuck your humidity levels and you'll regret it in the long run. Can't you just use the desiccant after the grow?

You think that would work just as well for keeping the closet in good condition? It's not my closet, so I really can't risk fucking my friend's shit up.

No chance of that mess working. I'd suggest brf cakes and a shotgun terrarium to learn the basics. Leave it sitting on a shelf or table right out in the open. Hiding things is the surest way to call attention to them. RR

Using the desiccant will make it not work, or what specifically? Care to elaborate instead of steering me in a completely different direction.
