How to check humidity without a meter?
    #23593136 - 08/30/16 10:32 AM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Hey guys,

I am wondering.

If i have water beading on the substrate (already in fruiting conditions) in my monotub, is it too wet?

How can i appropriately guesstimate humidity without an electronic meter?

The trick is to look for rings of dryness around your holes w/ polyfil compared to moist walls of the fruiting chamber. That should be a pretty good indication of proper humidity. You didn't include any pictures of your FC as a whole though so I can't tell you based on your pics

Ok well then you didn't know the rings are an indicator of proper conditions in the monotub. Otherwise you wouldn't have asked how to estimate proper humidity :shrug: water should always be beading on the surface of your substrate.
