Get a hygrometer, calibrate it and see what that reads.
I am also having problems with the humidity. I add about 7 cc of water and it gets it to 45-50% on my seperate hygrometer.

It's easier to do a dry hatch. I have had much better results, that way. I haven't had to add any water since I started my hatch on the 17th. It has been running between 26 and 36.

i own a 1588 and hatch in it all the time with good results. you're suppose to just fill the center well up with water for the 1st 1-18 days (you will need to add about a cup of warm water to the center well about every 3 days or so), then for the remainder of the days during lockdown you fill the center well AND the 2nd well (the well that surrounds the center well. that should make your humidity at abou 60ish % during lockdown, and 40ish % during days 1-18.
