How about calibrating your hygrometer and then use that to set the humidifier?

Many RH sensors (Pulse, AC Infinity, Govee, AcuRite, Inkbird, etc.) are spec'd to 3%± so, without calibration, it's a real WAG as to which one is "right".

Even after they're cal'd, the update frequency of the devices may be different so if your environment is not stable, you can be gettng accurate values but they might look wrong because of the update interval. I hit that with my 2' x 4' tent - the numbers were all good but the AC Infinity reports every second vs, say, an AcuRite which updates every minute (IIRC).

Yeah good idea to get it sorted out, it's been quite nuts with all sorts of curveballs being thrown at me I neglected the basics.

I also have an ac infinity pro sensor thing which I will sort out to get regular readings but is seems complex to set up.

I get it - it takes a bit to figure out how to set up the C69.

If you have questions about setup, how about a call to their tech support line or sending an email? They should be able to walk you through things pretty quickly.

They want more waterings. That's why the leaves have that appearance

That makes sense as they did get less than before. I got a dripper system to keep up but when I tested it the dripper were coming out at different rates so one would get 1.5 litres per 5 mins and the other 700ml so I held off using it.

I will give them a 4th feeding per day and I may have to up that to 5 as I've had to change the light to 24/0 as the zipper on the shit budbox tent broke..

The drippers running at different is probably because of uneven pressure in the lines. Getting your line pressure the same across all feed stations is tricky but this is the best way that I know of to achieve it.

Start with an oversized pump. One with at least 3 metres head height is best. Line connected to the pump should be 25mm. Above your tank where the 25mm line comes up attach a 25mm Tee to make a 25mm horizontal bar above the tank with the ends capped. Then join 13mm pipe into the bar, one for each feed station. Run the 13mm to the pot and connect the dripper line to the 13mm. The stepping down in size creates back pressure across the system and will give you even flow to each feed station. A pump with a 3 metre head is good for 2-4 feed stations. If you need to feed more you probably want to go up again.

If I were you I wouldn't mess with the light schedule. Could you use a blanket to cover where the zipper broke or even go grab a new tent. Messing with the light will cause more stress and even while I know people do it 24 hours of light just sounds like a bad idea
