FAE is far more important than humidity
The tubs in my signature are like 50-60% humidity. The mushrooms and the surface of the substrate provides the 90+% microclimate. Otherwise your fruits end up soggy and the caps all wet

Yeah, you want to prioritize fresh air. Having the ability to crank up the humidity will be useful, but you don't want to run soaking wet all day. For best results you are always going to need to keep an eye on things and adjust in flight as needed. If substrates are staying soaked for hours and water is pooling up, turn down the humidifiers and increase FAE. It'll take a little while, but you'll figure out how to dial in your timers over time.
Looks great though. Good luck!

I have the exact same green house running right now I ran into tons of problems at first pumping it full of humidity like your doing you need one of these it's called a humidistat also I have 4 pc fans for circulating the humidity for fresh air I run an electric air pump through an air filter then into the fc for 5 mins every hour also i use 2 ultrasonic foggers in a 5 gall pressureized by an air pump incombo with 2 vics coolmisters run by humidistat your gonna want to set the humidistat to 96% with a 6% hystrisis otherwise with a fc that big your gonna have a real hard time maintaining proper conditions with a timer! I had a thriving trich farm until I figured this out and unfortunately unless you make some mods fast your gonna experience the same problems thi's is pretty much what you want to shoot for and run a regular light on 12/12 waLA

This is very nice. I am having similar ideas about a couple green tents I've had my eyes on for some time, but I will need a method of keeping up the humidity. I have a couple timers so that I can run any lighting and humidity control independently already, so I'm halfway there.
Keeping my eye on this, I'd love to see some more working examples of good tents.

Do not slit your tent! well you can if you want to. follow my instructions and you can alter your fae with timing and altering the amount your door is open if you cut sits they will be perminatly cut or ugly tape patched if you over do it I have the same exact tent you do and am using it currently this is my second and final model the first was used to tweak and experiment until i could fig out what worked best. with it set this way , it can be dialed in for almost any exotic species! Co2 is heavier than o2 if you pump air in from top and leave doors open alil the Co2 will naturally be forced out through door slits

Yep I was just about to say leaving the door open is more than plenty xD.
Although co2 has a higher molar mass, were talking about molar mass.. spores, dust, dirt, etc. are way heavier than any element molar mass, yet gets mixed in due to air currents. Co2 only will go to the bottom if you're measuring it in a vacuum. In any part of our atmosphere co2 will be mixed in evenly with all things in the air.
