Wet a sponge and set it in there. Mine was about 16%-20% totally dry. I've just been keeping a damp/wet sponge in there and it's been averaging in the 30% area. (So much easier than adjusting water wells and trays.)

I'll try that. Thanks

101 is better, but that's not bad. Humidity sounds ok, as long as you make sure you check the air cells at days 7&14 to check the size. Breathe..you got this.
