What is the ambient humidity in the room with your humidor? How big is your humidor?

If it is lower than the RH of the humidor I would shut off the Hydra and let your humidor sit for a few days that way. If the RH has not dropped after a day or so I would crack the door/lid so that the ambient air can slowly be exchanged with the air in the humidor (you don't want to make any radical or fast changes or you risk damage to your cigars). Don't worry, cigars are very resiliant.

After the RH has started to settle where you want, close it all up and then figure out what you want to do for humidification. I would toss the Hydra and get something new.
