Temp adjustment wait time on LG 9300

Also, both LG probe and incutherm probe on top of eggs, within 1/2" of each other.

Dont get me wrong, im not arguing LG is better than HB (ive got a 1588 on the way to me as we speak), im just correcting bad info i had put out.

That's great that you got one that is seemingly correct. Not all of them are whacked, but a good many. Enough that it's given them a bad rep.
Are you going to run humidity that high for incubation?

It was my understanding 45-55% was target RH...is that not right?

A lot of the manuals and older sources of guides recommend that, however a lot of us hatchers, especially those of us using styro find that above 45% results in chicks drowning at hatch time. There is no magic number because there are too many variables that affect the effect of humidity on your eggs, such as size, shell quality, hatchers habits, etc.
I think the better majority now run low humidity incubation methods for the first 17 days before highering it for hatch. At least with standard size eggs, (and if you aren't in high elevations). I use 30% through day 17 and 70-75% for hatch. (I'm a hands on hatcher so I keep my humidity up higher at hatch.) I monitor my air cells to know when, how and if it needs adjusting. That and weighing are the only ways to really know if your humidity is letting the eggs do what they must. (Well, that and failed hatches, but then it's too late.) Some people do have success at higher humidity, but I'd highly recommend air cell monitoring to know for sure.
