ok i see you already have your setup in place but ill advise a few things.
first off go to a pet store and buy a stick-on reptile terrarium; usually range from 65-90 degrees or so; and theyre very accurate and about 2 or 3 bucks.
dont waste your money on a hygrometer. read around and youll see why but theyre ALMOST useless to us shroom growers; unless you get a 'good' one and thats gonna run you more money than im sure you wanna dish out.
if you live near a k-mart you can make a very efficient incubator for almost nothing. get two (2) rubbermaid containers that are the exact same brand and size. fill one with water about 2 inches (depending on the size of your containers) and if you have a totally submersable water heater (mine was 10 bucks at the same pet store i got the thermometer at) and plop that in the water. stack the second tub right on top of the 1st one with water. heater heats the water and it keeps your inside container nice and warm. put your jars in there and put the top back on.
additional humidity is not needed in this setup; or almost any incubator setup. all your moisture stays in your jars pretty well; especially with a sealed incubator (sealed only by the lid). if you feel the need you can spray your lid or something before you replace it but it wont do too much except attract crap you dont want like mold.
no need to worry at all about humidity or CO2/O2 until you remove the cakes from the jar. only exception to that is that if your jars are taking a long-ass time (long-ass is defined as cubensis mycellium taking more than 30 days to colonize) try flipping the jars over to release the almost 100% CO2 buildup that has accumulated over that long-ass time. anything short of a long-ass time will have less CO2 buildup and not require O2 exchange.

Holy shit people; COMMON SENSE! we were all born with it where did it go?
maybe theres a tek out there to explain how to use it!
