What's the best (under $70) humidifier that can keep the humidity in a pretty small (2x4x5') tent?

There are tonnes of recommendation lists but most of those lists are just marketing so I just want to know someones personal experience.

Get something you can get a water line hooked too.
With proper venting in the tent you withh be filling the water day every 24-48hr
Gets old fast.

The best?

Like Dynamo said. "Control the RH of the room the tent is in". That goes for temps to a point also.

With those things in mind. If you can use an evaporative cooler in that room. You will be killing 2 birds with one stone! Super effective humidifier.

The best humidifier is one you keep outside your tent that controls room the tent is in. Otherwise you are taking up room in your tent and adding heat.

Out of the box thinking.. I frickin love it.. It seems as if you have been through this before.. Also seems as if you spent time trying to find a solution and after all of your hard work you shared the answer freely. Thanks from me personally and thanks from those who didnt say thanks.

I use this one in a 4x4x7 tent. You can set the humidity to the level you want to keep and it will turn itself off when it gets to that humidity. I've noticed a minor discrepancy between what the humidifier says the RH is and what my thermometer says, but they're always within 5% of each other. You can (and probably should) also turn the light off on the front of the unit.

One thing you're going to want to do with a humidifier that I didn't think of when I started is have a cleaning schedule. CLEAN IT ONCE A WEEK! Put some distilled vinegar through it for 15 minutes once a week or else it's going to stink so bad you're going to think something is dying.

And never use tap water. Minerals in the tap water will not only dust your leaves, they'll also clog your filter/pre-filter so fast the air will stop moving in your tent within a couple of weeks.

Humidufiers dont go in tents as said and mj lives happily at a wide range of humidity so zero reason to try and change it :-)
