Autofill DIY humidifier for Tents

INTRO
I had major problems regarding not enough humidity. So i looked into humidifiers on amazon and the only ones that were autofill were gigantic and expensive. The only ones available that were small enough to fit in my smaller clone tents had a small res requiring multiple daily fillings. I had 5 tents (9x5, 4x4, 2.5x2.5, 3x3x2, 3x3 dry tent) that needed humidifiers and after Surfing an Amazon I found exactly what I needed.

TOOLS
- 1-2+ Mist maker and fogger (I used 2 in my 4x4)
- Storage tote or tool tray(pics)
- hose for fresh water supply (ro hose)
-Mini float ball valve
-Valve for fresh water hose
-Air stone, pump, hose or fan to push the humidity/fog out

PROCEDURE
These aren’t very hard to make once you see the pics.

You can use virtually any fan or air stone setup - you don’t need much, just enough to get the air moving.

Post if u have any questions and I’ll do my best. Pics too if u can.

I made something like that just with a tiny 40mm PC fan mounted on the top and a PVC pipe off the side to blow mist into a large tote I had mushrooms growing in. Ran it on an inkbird humidity controller.

If you still have it would love to see a pic.
I was going to mount a small fan to the top of the smaller tote with the small plants but I added an air stone just to keep the water fresh and I was worried about wet conditions breaking the fan.

What I really like about this system is its scalability. It costs $10 to add another ultrasonic mister or replace a broken one. Initial cost is cheap too like under $20-30 pending on ur res.

I just have to move a bunch of guitars to get to the closet it's in. I don't grow mushrooms in the summer, it's too hot in that room.
