moistened perlite works pretty well for keeping RH up
I would be more worried about FAE

not sure what your setup is like, but you could try using a coolmist

They're about $30 bucks and you're going to need custom fitted PVC connectors. So no, not really. :/
It's worth it in the long run anyway if you want to invest the money.

In a pinch a bubble stone run from a fish tank pump laying in a container of about an inch and a half of distilled water in it works. In a medium sized fruiting chamber, this should keep your humidity up about ten to fifteen percent. I use on in a monotub for extra air exchange, and to not have to use a casing, and so far has been working wonderfully.

Dude, Dont trust a friend, I left from town to go to a festival in the woods of pittsburge, and when i came back i found out he stole a lb of mushrooms he harvested while i was gone AFTER giving him a half of dro before he left, giving a huge speech on how im glad i have someone i can trust, ect ect. He definitly took to many liberties. We are still friends but he stays out of my grows. Now that my best friend of all time is back, i MIGHT have someone i can trust but im still incredibly apprehensive.

Use a bubblestone thing in water, this should help your humidity and take care of your FAE.
Theres 2 ways of using it, stick it in a cup or bowl of water, or change your perlite for hydroton and have your bubblestone in the bottom of you FC, 5 inches hydroton and 3 inches of water.
With the coolmist you dont need to attach any pipes, just let it run in your room on a timer to bring the ambient humidity upto about 50%
