I asked my son top bring me a bowl of water I didn't think to check if it was hot or not.... but but i cut a hole I the lid the temperature is about 99-101 and humidity had come up to 61 now
once I cut a hole in lid everything balanced out humidity is a tad lower than desired 58 but almost 10% higher than be for lock down which was 49/52 I have 3 sponges a bowl of water and 2 wet paper towels in it... should I try to get it higher?
I know there not and I just miss read what u wrote. I cut a hole in the lid near the bulb and it brought the temperature down to 100 and the humidity is at 56 now I added another paper towel to try getting the humidity a little higher
its a indoor thermometer/ humidity reader I got from Walmart and I'm using a 15 whatt light bulb. I built it myself I thought it would just be something to do with my kids but I have fallen in love with doing it lol I'm probably going to buy a real incubator for next time but I need to get these...
I'm new to incubating and I built a Styrofoam incubator. everything had been perfect with it until today when (day 17) that I started trying to raise the humidity. it's stayed at about 100.5 and humidity at about 49-52. so I added a bowl of water to start getting humidity up and it worked...
