is 49 degrees too cold ?

The Cank

So I am almost finished with my chillador except I can't get it to get any warmer than 49 degrees. Is this ok or is it too cold ? My humidity is great everything else is smooth just wondering about the temp. Also Jamaica was great ! Thanks for everyones help on the Cuban situation !

Also I have a pound of beads. Should I put a half pound charged and a half pound uncharged in the cooler ? I feel that when the fan and cooler kicks on I will have a fluctuation so should I use both charged and uncharged to regulate in case it gets above my desired 65% ?

Hate to sound so ambivalent, but I suggest charging them halfway, so it can release moisture and also have enough capacity to absorb excess moisture as well.

49 is more than a bit too cold ........ it should'nt be any lower than 60 with trying to keep the ambient temp between 63-70 degrees ...... maybe see if you can use a timer to cycle the cooler on and off ....... the only downfall may be it could shorten the life expectancy of the cooler ....... just my two cents

So if I charge the half pound bag and keep the other half pound bag uncharged it should be all good ? And set the timer to kick on about every 8 hours for about 5 minutes a day and hopefully all works well

I say go for it. You can always add more water if the RH turns out to be too low. I'm curious to see how your timer set-up works out.
