no they suck, water build up inside rendering screen unreadable, plus they just aren't very accurate over 75% RH

Yeah that looks better. Make sure it's not made in China, (is teh sux) and that it's adjustable. Wrap it in a wet paper towel for an hour, then adjust it to read 99%. then it's accurate and ready to go.

exact guy I got mine from, only problem is it mount via a magnet that connects to a metal disc glued to the back-the glue sucks I had to use gorilla glue to make mine stand up to the High humidity. You can calibrate it, cheap, accurate, and free ship. A+

Calibration - wrap hygrometer in a wet paper towel for an hour, than adjust the dial to read 100% right after you take the towel off.

I got my hygrometer at the reptile section of Petsmart in the terrarium accessories area.  It was not calibratable, but I did the towel thing and it read 100% so It works for me.  Otherwise ebay or the like works.  I tried smoke shops, but they were clueless.  One dude tried to sell me the digital hygrometer out of his swisher humidor:rastamon:

The reading arm is attached to a coil inside the casing, which can be manipulated.

all hydrometers must be checked occasionally just to make sure, because they fall out of wack over time. I do the overkill thing and calibrate mine before every grow. hell, it's easy, so why not do it?

oh so you cant leave the hygrometer on the perlite leaning against the wall of your FC? I probably wouldve just placed a piece of aluminum under it.

doesnt need to be attached to the wall does it?

No, you can leave it on the perlite if you can still easily read it. Don't let it touch your cakes though, they'll get bruised or worse, contaminated. Try to wipe it down with isopropyl alcohol before you put it in, and anytime you touch it, to keep contaminants away from your precious babies. But I used to do that with cakes, so it can work fine.

Putting it on the side is not needed unless you start doing bulk instead of cakes. If you do that, then you definitely don't put it on the substrate, because that's your "cake."
