Well at least it started pinning, I would probably wait a bit more to see how it goes, and not stress out so much

Humidity doesn't really mean anything on this scale. What you want are surface conditions that are dialed in.
Sgfcs tend to dry out cakes with how airy they are. Keep your cakes gently moistened while allowing time between mistings for evaporation.
You can grow in open air on your kitchen counter just by misting frequently.

You can place the cakes more towards the center where the air is more humid and keep the cakes away from the drier air by the sides.
And if you still keep running into humidity issues with the SGFC then you can simply place the cakes inside a shoebox or a small tub and as long as the bottom of the tub contains something wet or moist that will evaporate off moisture and keep the humidity levels up. I place hydrated coir inside small shoeboxes and fruit the cakes in there. No misting needed. Let me repeat that. No misting needed.
I misted 3 times anyway between birth and second flush, but upon reflection I probably didn´t even need to mist once with this setup. It looks like this

Yeah I have this bad habit of not clicking threads that don't sound interesting but when I force myself to read threads from the top down I always end up learning something.

Exactly, the same basic questions get answered over and over in all the big threads and this is one of the tricks that make information stick if you read trough a whole thread as a noob.

elastic. have you checked out how those cakes have been doing the hybrid? I need to update it again. But from what I can tell, you dont have to mist as often as with a SGFC

Your tub is very clearly not built properly. You need more holes in a grid pattern. Don't skip on that part.

A proper chamber is key, forget humidity. Damp perlite does enough. Glistening surface is what matters most to get yield

SGFC works pretty well if you are experienced and know exactly how to maintain proper surface conditions. But then again experienced growers don´t suddenly start building SGFC´s.
IMO SGFC is not the ideal option for beginners. The method I mentioned with shoeboxes doesnt even require misting, I have always had better results and less maintenence this way.
OP should try both methods and see what works best for him!

I started with pf tek and sgfc. In my experience it was the easiest cultivation i have done, just not a big yield. My second grow i got over an ounce dry weight off 5 cakes. OP questioned about sgfc, i give knowledge i know, not switch topic.

Get more holes drilled in the sgfc, a few more inches of perlite, and focus surface conditions. Think of dew on the lawn. Small droplets of water to glistening sparkle.
The biggest problem is beginners not reading and following teks properly. No offense to anybody but you follow instructions you get success, at least for best yields. Almost any setup can get results, but good results can be had by following what people have put years into to help.
