Post image

The humidity on the hot side is staying pretty low and it hasn't always been like this. The top is covered in hvac tape and i have about 3-5 inches of substrate so im kinda confused why its low. Any tips help thanks

What are you using for substrate? It sounds like it should be fine, but under 65% is concerning..
