i use the semi lockdown method and for me its fine
i stop turning on day 3 and marke the aircell so i know which is teh slant
and the slant is facing up
and raise humidity to 65%
then i will leave it as if it was lockdown
but if i need to go in i raise humidity to 70% and turn off fan to bator and then open bator candle and put back as i picked it up and even candling while keeping egg is same position on its side
by the time i put egg back humidity is back to 65% and egg has stayed in same position
usually i dont need to ever open bator during lockdown so that why i call it semi lockdown as its still lockdown in effect
