Help me QUICK!!!

[trulefty]

I started lockdown at 6:30pm must have put to much water on sponge, humidity shot up to 75% and I can't get it down!!! I've got all vents open and even jerked the sponge out really quick. That was about 45 min ago it's still at 72%...... What to do???? Remove the lid for a few minutes??????

i would... if you just started lockdown it should be fine to let some of that humidity out by taking the top off... it wont need to be off for long probly.. was the water you wet the sponge with TOO hot?

I would leave it as is I run mine 75-80 on lock down

 

[trulefty]

I considered it "warm" but it could have been to hot I guess...

 

[trulefty]

I though lockdown should be 45 to 55%... Am I wrong?

 

[dovecanyon]

72% to 75% isn't high enough to worry about. I would just leave it alone.
At lockdown you need to be at least 65%. many suggest 70-75%.

I do my regular incubation at 50- 55 and my lockdown at 65-70

So I'm about to have a heart attack over nothing then????? Whew!!!! What a relief......

 

[dovecanyon]

Yes, save the heart attack for when they start hatching.
