My observations are usually around:
Days: 70-80 F. ~40-45 RH.
Nights: 60-70 F. ~50 RH.
This will be my first summer growing highlands on a rack, so we'll see how it goes with the heat.
I try (but don't always remember) to mist once in the morning and once at night.
Brads Greenhouse says to mist the tendrils, but not the crown, because crown rot. But as you pointed out, that jamban is wet. My advice would be that is probably safer to follow Brad's advice, and not mist the entire plant like I do, because I'm new at this.
Each shelf has two 2 foot T5HO 6400K bulbs.
Hamatas are really interesting plants. They have a reputation of being challenging to grow, but I think they can acclimate to different conditions. There's a grower on the boards with a big vining hamata, grown on a windowsill.
You should try more nepenthes!

And last but not least, what type of lighting do you use? Thanks for any answer, I find myself more and more interested in Nepenthes, and Hamata is near the top of the list.
