Humidity question

[Somshine]

Does anybody know how long I can run it dry, up until the last minute, when I absolutely have to increase humidity for hatch? Is it and absolute day 18 or can I push it?

I can’t get my humidity right in my little Amazon bubble incubator, it is either 15 or 85, I’ve intentionally hatched at both, had 100 percent hatch rates (4 eggs each!) at both (quail). I dump some water in every couple days so the average is about 45 percent but don’t worry about it that much except at lockdown. Temp and turning are vital, humidity is important but secondary. You won’t tank your hatch. I get 90 percent hatch rates with stable temp and schizophrenic humidity, but a broken turner, cold exposure or rough shipping cuts that in half. Do your best but don’t stress!

Yeah but this one I had a problem with high humidity because I finally figured out my incubator wasn't sitting level and I was filling the second chamber some when I'd fill the water tank. The air cells need to be bigger. I'm wondering if running it dry till day 20 even could mitigate that.
