new brower top hatch

[backcountry]

finally got it in and i dont think im going to like it  having a hard time getting the humidity above 40% might just be the air so dry in the house
also wish there was a bit more air flow inside it  is there any tweaks  out there or mods  or is it just me doing something wrong
i have 2 sponges in there (1 time use and its just at 45% when i wake up they are dry and humidity is 30%  water pan is always full

I have a Brower also and I like it.  Remember humidity depends on surface area and not amount of water.  Fill the bottom as much as necessary to obtain correct humidity.  What are you using to check humidity?  If it's digital, it might not be accurate...verify accuracy if you can.  I live in south Louisiana and humidity is not usually a problem here...we practically live "under" water.

Thanks David

With another one or two.  I have 3 or 4 of those digital deals and I don't trust any of them on their own, I always use 2 or 3.

Here's a thermometer/hygrometer setup that is used in most cabinet incubators:

Here's some more ideas:

JFYI:  Remove batteries from hygrometers when done incubating. If they are the flat watch type batteries, those things aren't cheap, plus it may corrode if they are left in when not being used.  Low batteries will also cause those things to read incorrectly.
