How do I calibrate this hygrometer?

I don't think the reading is accurate anymore since it got wet from misting and I'm not sure how to calibrate it. It's weird, the manual doesn't say exactly how to do it but it says it can be done.

I wouldn't use one at all. I don't think I've seen a single TC use one in their fruiting chambers.

Throw it in the trash. That's how I would calibrate it Or save it for your living room

You guys, I know my monotubs are dialed in fine and I don't need one. I'm asking how the fuck do I calibrate it regardless.

You can calibrate it easily by throwing it full force into the nearest trashcan....

Calibrate that hygrometer by getting your/your friends automobile, Wrap that baby up in a wet towel and then put it under the car tier and then step on it with the car the pressure from the car will calibrate it properly for mycology use.

Then see what number you get and just always remember how far off yours is.
Calibration of your style temp/hygro is moot they're not accurate even calibrated usually

If you really want to calibrate it, wrap it in a damp towel or paper towel. If it doesn't read 99 or 100% humidity then calibrate it till it does.
Electric/digital hygrometers suck ass and are almost not worth calibration. Analogue is where it's at as far as instruments like that are concerned

Lol the paper towel method xD. So scientific..
OP.. it's actually impossible to measure relative humidity without first knowing your dew point, because relative humidity is directly related to it. Dew point can be changed with many things like temperature, and isn't necessarily always going to be at the exact spot it should theoretically be when compared to temperature.
Our chambers will have a much different dew point than the outside. Technically if you want to measure humidity, measure the dew point of the chamber first. But since it should be constantly fluctuating, it'll be basically impossible to get an accurate measurement. No hygrometer will accurately read rh like I'd want, besides there's really no need for one anyway.

Hey man it would probably measure within at least 20-30% accuracy xD!
This is also why a decrease in temperature with the same amount of water molecules in the air increases humidity because the dew point has gone down.
In our chambers we should expect a real high dew point and thus it could even need 2-3 times more water molecules to be above 70% Rh compared to a 99% Rh of a lower temperature. This is also the reason why hygrometers suck dick in our chambers. How do you calibrate to our exact chambers environment? a lot more work and money for better equipment IMO would be needed.

I knew it was a bad environment for a hygrometer but never knew why. Thanks Mad Season

i had a digital thermometer and hydrometer .. thought i was so bad ass with it being all scientific and junk..
until one day while i was putting new trays in my FC. the hydrometer said 13% and the thermometer said 118f. y went straight into the garbage. havent used one since. that was like 8 years ago.

Crap I was just looking for a good hygrometer,, so does this mean its concluded that there not any hygrometers, that are closely accurate that are being sold for a reasonable price that would work in a FC??
