Sounds like you have a cheap hygrometer. Cheap higrometers have trouble reading humidity above 80% or so. When they get a high humidity they just say Hi. If droplets are forming then the humidity should be fine.

Drop the temp down to 74-76F. that will lower RH as well. Don't worry they're not dead :laugh: Cakes love high humidity!

Yeah man, I got a cheepie electric one too. It changes to EE repeatedly so I have to fan out the air and wait a bit to get a decent reading. Hopefully once I get my air pump and stone in it'll fix it up.

Oh yea, and don't use a cigar humidor hygrometer. Maybe that's obvious. Like a real and proper noob, I ordered one because it seemed cheap at $10 (for a piece of equipment that is optional anyways). - Then I get it, and it only measures RH between 40-70%! (Though the dial goes from 0-100%, just to taunt us)

<--- 1st grow; will wait to see how it goes, then consider getting a nice one.
