If you cant get a new humidifier in the tent, what kind of air intake do you use? Active or passive? If active you can put your intake hose over a bucket of water to pull air and more moisture in to the tent. If passive, is there anyway for you to increase the humidity outside the tent? Final thought is temperature - if you can figure out how to reduce temps (thinking back on your 94oF tent temp) your rH will increase naturally. But like Papa_T said below - you really want a 1 gal / 5L humidifier, one with an auto setting even better

Calculate air exchange and reduce exhaust fans to increase humidity while maintaining temperature. I would recommend upgrading to a little larger humidifier as well. Hanging towels will work but it is a breading ground for unwanted pathogens so I typically stay away from that.

How much air transfer do you have? If you're pulling too much CFM you're just pulling any water that your humidifier is putting in the air right up and out. If you can, try turning down your exhaust fan a bit and see if that helps.

I agree with the bowl of water method as stated previously, that’s worked for me in the past, as well as hanging a few damp towels from the top pole of my tent. Just make sure the towels aren’t dripping water or anything lol but yeah hopefully that will bring your RH up another 15-20%.

You can also try just having a bowl with water in it and let that evaporate. I keep a bowl of water in my tent. It has two purposes. It serves as a slow release humidifier and a particle filter. Any loose particles flying around my tent when it hits the water gets trapped. I change the water daily when I fill my humidifier.

You need a bigger humidifier than that little thing. Sorry. Try and get one with at least a one gallon capacity minimum.
