I'm going to order one but its going to take about 2 weeks get here. Can I test my humidity with a digital hygrometer until my proper one get here?

I've been forgetting to even look at mine because I'm getting use to how everything should look.

Just use your face as a hygrometer.

If you built it per the tek, you don't need a hygrometer. Your humidity WILL be in the correct range. RR

I can vouch for this. My hygrometer broke the first week I had it (digital :p) and I never bought another one. The SGFC in RR's video is IMHO flawless. Has never let me down. In fact everything you need to know about the BRF tek is right there. Good luck bro!

Your videos have helped a lot RR, thank you so much for your time effort and energy. I've watched the clips. I don't remember you saying I needed one. But from cruising around on here for a while, I kept reading about them and just figured I needed one. Thanks for putting my mind at easy.
Although it seems that some times you need to tape up holes? I'm assuming that only happens in dry climates or if using AC or something like that. I'm in the UK so I don't see that happening here any time soon
Thanks everyone for your 2 cents.

No. You have never seen me say that. RR

I wasn't implying that you've said that. I'm pretty sure that I've seen others say that though. But honestly I don't think it matters, for my situation.
Thanks again for your time.

taping up the holes on a sgfc reduces humidity and FAE thus increasing your contam chances not to mention poor results.
