Day 9 (3/15)
• 6:30 AM:
- The environment was holding steady in the mid-50s following last night’s humidity spike recovery.
• 8:06 AM:
- Temp Recorded 99.3°F: A slight morning dip in temperature (likely due to the Michigan morning chill hitting the room)
- Humidity 55.6%
• 10:24 AM:
- Peak Stability Reached.
- Temperature 99.7°F
- Humidity 50.7%
- As the house warmed up, the incubator naturally climbed back to the ideal temperature without any manual adjustment.
- Vent remains set at slightly more than 1/2. This is successfully exhausting excess moisture and allowing the humidity to glide down from the 60s toward the 45%–50% target.
