80% 75% 61%...
Did I do that correctly? Can all three of my hygrometers be reading different humidity? OH and the one that reads correctly 75% is the exact same name brand/style as the one that reads 61%
Why do companies bother to manufacture a product that is off by so much. I mean its the entire purpose of a hygrometer..the ONLY purpose it has is to tell you a correct %...grr....I dont even want to get on a rant about thermometers..
I put some salt and water in a soda cap Just enough to get it really moist but not enough that any water would drip out of the cap if I turn the cap on its side.
Put this in a sandwich bag sealed with the hygrometers. The Hygrometers are Not the same distance away from the salt but i assume that doesn't matter. I did this 10-11 hours ago...did I wait too long?
with that said the 75% one and the 61% one that are the same kind... one has been sitting in my incubator... One is brand new.. the one that isn't new has been sitting in my incubator for a week ....no eggs...trying to get this stuff right before I kill off my first batch of eggs If they are off by that much...can i trust that they will always be off by that much or in a week will they be reading all over the place again (no screw to change them) OH GRRR.. I didn't mark the two that look the same so i have no idea which one is new and which one has been in my bator...
two are pet store $6.00. kind of cheap feeling...plastic
one is a pet store cheap one for reptiles has a thermometer that reads 2* colder than correct and Hygrometer combo around $11.50
