Oh...I thought you quit testing them...gave up on it.

Don't stress over the humidity.
Don't let it get too high.

I mean, I did sort of. Idk. I did test them but probably not for as long as I should of. I’m basing it off the original overnight numbers where it got higher.

And okay, thanks. I’m trying not to. I don’t think it got to high but i only added a little bit

What is the humidity reading right now on your ten humidity gauges?

How many do you have in there?

only two and the built in one. Plus the other thermometer.

I did have another one but I didn’t realize I accidentally bought one with an outside monitor so it’s two parts so I don’t think that’ll work. And gonna return another I bought ha

Right now built in says 10%, one says 21%, one says 21%. Hey! They agree for once LOL and temp is more stable now. 100.8, 99, and 99.5 on the spot check. Built in says 97.7 (I have it set for 97.5 seems to need to be lower to be right)

I think the hygrometers might be like 8-10% off at least one so it might be 29 or 31 instead but I think that’s still acceptable?

Earlier it was 18 when I added the water

These numbers would be perfect, imo.

Great.
Try to keep it stable.
Stable is better than it dropping and spiking.

Okay awesome!!

Good point! Thanks. I’ll try to keep it at this level then?

Should I add a little bit more water before I go to bed later so it doesn’t dip too low overnight or just leave it so it doesn’t spike like crazy again?

When I first added the water it went to like 40 then quickly dropped to like 37 then I think it went lower than that too. I was watching it. So it didn’t stay high long and seemed to stabilize in the 20s.

I woke up this morning to the incubator being OFF!!!!

No idea how long it had been off for but it was fine when I woke up to use the bathroom and get water at 6:30 so sometime after that.

But it looks like somebody tried to move it back on the table/away from the edge and disconnected the power cord from the adaptor cause it was still plugged into the wall and the bator but disconnected. It’s the kind with the brick thingy the cord plugs into like a laptop one.

It’s not right next to the edge or anything but has to be close to it so I can plug it in without using an extension cord.

They pushed it back just far enough to unplug it.

I know exactly who did it and they most likely didn’t even know they unplugged it but

I plugged it back in about 10, 15 minutes ago so

According to the thermometers it had cooled to like 76 degrees but not sure how accurate those are, still gotta get a regular one, couldn’t find one yesterday. But the Spot Check was reading L which means too low to read so I think it probably is accurate.
