Humidity drops with ecoearth - doing something worng?

[kiiarah]

Well apart from spot cleaning, the entire tank is emptied and sanitized once a month. I was nervous about making the soil too damp but oddly enough the humidity only went to about 75% after dampening almost all of it. This morning, 8 hours later it is at 57% so it actually appears to be working.

I am thinking maybe with just misting heavily the humidity in the air was shooting really high, but of course only lasting a short time. Keeping the soil damp seems to keep the humidity release into the air more gradual, so for right now anyway it's looking much much better.
