What are you using as a heat source?
Analogue hygrometers are no good, a lot of the time not accurate at all. Try looking into purchasing an Accurite if possible. Definitely an awesome tool, it measures the warm side and cool side temp along with the humidity (it is digital). They are around $12-$15 that I have seen. You can find them at Home Depot and most likely any home improvement store. Get the one with the probe though, I've noticed there are some without the probe.
