I'm just curious b/c I lack the science.
I have a closed chamber enclosure in a small washroom for the nights. Substrate is coconut coir and humidity sits at 70 ish percent with a temp of 70 ish degrees. This is ok I believe.
In the room are some open pans full of water, the substrate is kept moist and inside the chamber there's also a shelf with an open container full of water.
Anyway, I wanted to push the temp up a little bit more to 80 + degrees. So I put a small 7 fin oil radiator thingy in the room, set it to achieve around 85 degrees, and got that temp without issue.
But...apparently the humidity has now disappeared? It is sitting at 50% in the enclosure- the sensors reading this are inside the closed chamber. This is despite new water containers inside the enclosure, wetter substrate, and I even put a pan of water on top of the radiator.
If anything a warmer room should be adding a lot more water to the air from all the containers full of water?
Is it just my humidity reader being weird? Can someone explain the science here?
Thanks!
