Another humidity question

[TNBielefelder]

my last hatch was a flop and I have been trying to adjust the things I can. Part of the problem was a power outage but the other major factor was a humidity change. Right now without any water inside my incubator the humidity is running in the around 55. I checked the humidity outside the incubator in the room the incubator is in and it's 52. What has been successful for me is 45 during setting and 65 during hatch/lockdown. How do I decrease the humidity to get it back down to my successful levels??

A couple of things you could try is dry rice or dry sponges. I have also heard some people using the silicon packs that come in clothes/shoes/etc.

Oh, those gel packs are a great idea, I never would have thought of that.
