Day 8 (3/14)
• 7:50 AM:
- Woke up to find temp had drifted to 99.1°F
- Humidity had fluctuated through the night mildly, but was back up and holding steady at 65.7%.
- Intervention: Re-applied the third blanket, increased ambient room temp to 90°F, and restricted the vent to 1/2 to recapture heat lost overnight.
- Looking to see the Govee climb back to 99.5°F within the next hour.
• 8:01 AM:
- Temperature: returning to normal range, moving slowly between 99.5 and 99.6
- Humidity: steady at 65.6%
• 12:55 PM:
- Temp recovered to 100.1°F
- Humidity at 67.6%.
- Room heater adjusted downward to 85° to prevent overshooting. 3 blankets remained on. Vent adjusted to a touch over 1/2 open.
• 7:32 PM:
- Current temp 99.6°F
- Current humidity: 52.3%
- A few brief dips to 98.9°F during the late afternoon. Average temp since boom 99.3, but incubator successfully self-corrected and has been holding steady at current temp since 7:00 PM.
Notes: if humidity drops close to 40%, I will be adding 1/8 cup of warm water. If temp starts to drop, I will up the room temp to 90°.
