How do ya lower humidity

[bhazell123]

I finally got my incubator to the right temp but the humidity is kinda high any ideas to lower it

If theres a water container or compartment, maybe try and lessen the water content?

Take out one of the vent plugs.

Ya mean the closed jar of water I have no open containers and I wiped the whole thing dry still to humid and I also have alot of holes lol still to high

get a new hygrometer? if your incubator is dry and still reading high humidity either re-calibrate or get a new one.

What kind of incubator are you using?

Is your hydrometer calibrated?

Are any eggs in the bator yet?-- if yes -- since when?

Sorry so many questions but we need to know more ,so we can give you more tips.

I have a genessis 1588 if I need to lower humidity I just remove the vent plug
if this doesnt work than I open the top and find a way to keep one side open until humudity drops.
