day 14 humidity level

[tjb]

My humidity has been staying around 25% thru day 14. Should I go ahead and begin increasing the H level or wait until lockdown?
TIA

How are your air cells looking when you candled?

If they look like they are on track then I wouldn't add any water. If they are too big then I'd add a little water. But you are getting close to lockdown!

I just candled and all look pretty much on line. 1 out of 12 I discarded. Was not developing. I had added a little water and it is at 30% now. This is only my second try and trying to do it "by the book" to see if my outcome is better. Thank!!! One-More-Week!!!!

Should I remove the water???

Honestly if they were on track I'd leave them how they were. You want to make sure the air cells keep growing on track. 11/12 developing well is great! Keep us posted you are doing great!

You have to remember that you will be adding a good bit of water for lockdown in 4 days. If you add too much now they may not be where they need to be for lockdown. That's my only concern. I feel like it's harder for them to lose more now than it is at the beginning of incubation.

okay, I have removed the water and at the moment it is coming back down at 38% and declining. Whew!! it was only increased for a couple of hours so I think I am good to go! Thanks for all you help.
