    Re: Repeat R.I. Not too much weight gain, I'm really Stumped

    If you sprayed heavily and the moisture did not dry up and your ambient was on the cool end then I could see a RI popping up. I spray every other day to 90% and that quickly goes down to 60% after a few hours from the heat lamp and then the next day its back under 40% and needing another misting. Is your T8 just heated by the flexwatt? Maybe the enclosure retains the moisture longer. What kind of substrate do you use?

    I have Flexxwatt and a RHP for Ambient Heat. I Spray until its at 90 but within 3 hours its back to 35%.

    I use paper towels for substrate. i'm thinking I should switch to eco earth but i didn't know if that would be okay in a T8
