How do I make a bubbler?

I have decided to make a bubbler for rh in my fc and am a little confused how to do so. Does an airstone provide the rh or can I use a fish tank humidifier? I have acess to very limited supplies but the following are things I do have a chance to buy.
-Fishtank heater -air pump -aquarium tubing -sealant -container for bubbler -air stones -aquarium filters
I'm confused on what causes the humidity in the jar that will be pumped to my fc and if the objects above would be compatable with the bubblers design. Any advise would help a lot.

I've seen results where people run an air pump to like 2 airstones in the FC that are inside little jars or containers.. THen you just keep water in the jars.. Apparently it works better than the bubble wands that people use in PMP's..

How big is your FC? Why not just use perlite for Humidity?

I have a 64 quart or gallon (not sure which) that has 3.5 inches of perlite on bottom and still have an rh of 94-96%. So an airstone would raise the humidity when placed in a jar with the tubes running to my fc with a pump?

Definitely should.. You can get a strong 100gal whisper pump for like $20 - run 2 tubes from it to 2 airstones on each side.. It should also contribute to some FAE too..

Ok, what do the airstones do? Sorry to ask a bunch of stupid q's. Don't I need something to heat the water to cause evaporation? If so would a fishtank heater work?

Ok, thanks for your suggestions I think I'm covered now. But before I spend the money for what I need I was wondering if my cakes and cased substrates would be fine at 95%. Using only the perlite tek it stayes the same all the time, never lower never higher. Would this be ok for rh or would the 4% be absolutely necessary for healthy growth. I'm asking because the only place I can get these supplies from would cost me $50 and I'm still finishing high school (don't worry I'm 18) and I don't have a job so I still live with my mom. I ask because I've heard that cakes do ok at 95% and my cased substrate doesn't have standing water and I was told that was fine. Whats your suggestion.

My mom knows and is ok with it. She works with pagan beliefs and would benefit from the mushrooms spiritually as would I and is the reason I started growing. No I love my mom and would never be that disrespectful. She likes to watch the grow as much as I do.

Yeah shes an awesome mother, I love her to pieces. She likes to watch the grow which is pretty funny. She and I are into the spiritual side of psychadellics and I have countless times made her morning glory tea. We are actually going to do our first ayahuasca ritual together after we get a good fast and have all our intentions for the experiance in line. I love her.

Right on man, thats awesome. I'm greatful for my mom because not only do I have the freedom to use psychadellics but we both share parts of the experiance that we ourselves have trouble trying to interprit(?). I like to also welcome my cats in sometimes (more like they invite themselves) when I smoke but I had to quit 6 months ago. My cat used to run in the garage as soon as she heard the lighter flick to get a few hits. So me and my mom are pretty open which I think is best because we deal with problems head on instead of ignoring problems in our lives.

if your fruiting chamber is holding 95% without anything in it, chances are once you get your cakes/cased substrates in there your rh will jump a few percent.
95%+ is ok.
Your using a shotgun FC?? If so ensure you have holes in all sides including the bottom and raise it off the table with shotglasses or something so the bottom holes are exposed to air.
Also, if your using cased substrates in trays, you might want to rig up some sort of shelf to avoid covering up alot of perlite.
