Humidity 80%, 10 gallon tub, 5 inches perlite

Hey all, I have birthed some cakes that I will put in the FC tomorrow.. I set up the fc today to try to get the rH in the 90's but it seems to want to stay near 80's. Like the title says it is a 10 gallon tub with 1/4 inch holes drilled all around spaced out 2 inches with 5 inches of perlite. I have 2 hygrometers (same kind) in a damp cloth right now but it seems that they both wont go above 85.. I'm starting to believe I just have shit hygrometers. It looks like there is a screw in the back but I cant adjust it...
Any input? Does anyone agree that my hygrometers are just shit?

No for me it never goes higher than ~84. It doesn't matter too much.

wrong forum...
but you hygrometers are probably shit. 5 inches of perlite is way more than enough, besides, you want surface area more so than depth.
I've never used a hygrometer, but as long as the inside of the tub has condensation on it then it's fine. Don't be afraid to mist them a few times a day also.

I stuck a digital hygrometer and still at 80. I set my fogger for 30 minutes every hour. So for xample.. The fogger will come on at 5pm and go off at 5:30. The fogger will then come on at 6:30 and go off at 7 then come on at 8pm etc etc.. It keeps the humidity at 99% and slowly drops to around 88%-90% then back on for 30 minutes and goes back up to 99%. Is this okay? I don't care if the hygrometer breaks because of too much humidity but I just want to make sure that having mushrooms growing at 99% humidity most of the time is okay. Sorry for the wrong forum!!

Anyone with input regarding the fogger turning on every hour for 30 minutes?
