I've got about 10 varieties set up in an aquarium to root & wondering what the ideal humidity would be. Completely closed it's 100% of course. I seem to recall someone saying 80-90% humidity was the ideal range. __________________ BEYOND Vineyard - La Farge, Wisconsin z4b http://facebook.com/beyondvineyard Driftless Sacred Grove - West Lima, Wisconsin https://www.facebook.com/driftlessgrove ebay: sacredgroveorganics http://www.ebay.com/usr/sacredgroveorganics

I try to keep mine 70%-80% also, with 70%-75% being ideal IMO And just because a compartment is totally sealed does not make it 100% humidity. I run my bins sealed with a hygrometer inside for the first few weeks, and i'm usually in the 70%-75% humidity range. __________________ Jason Atlanta/Grant Park area - z8

Had a hygrometer in mine & it was reading 100% consistently for 2 days... Seems like I better bring it way down. __________________ BEYOND Vineyard - La Farge, Wisconsin z4b http://facebook.com/beyondvineyard Driftless Sacred Grove - West Lima, Wisconsin https://www.facebook.com/driftlessgrove ebay: sacredgroveorganics http://www.ebay.com/usr/sacredgroveorganics

I did a quick forum search for "humidity level" and got some really good results. Here is one of the threads where this came up last time: http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=4993650&highlight=humidity+level I couldn't find the three or four other times a similar question was asked recently (I tried). Every time, a new tidbit of info or clever bit comes up. You may give a try at hitting search with other combination terms like humidity percent or humidity gauge to try and find others. __________________ Jason Atlanta/Grant Park area - z8
