Just realized my shop's cooler humidity was way off for months
I had a bunch of tulips wilt in two days last week, which felt wrong. I finally checked the cooler's built-in gauge and it was reading 40%, but my cheap digital hygrometer from the supply store said 65%. I swapped the old gauge for a new one and kept the digital as a backup. Now the flowers look fresh for a full five days. Has anyone else found their equipment giving bad readings?

...and it's always the cheap fix that saves you, right? I had a similar thing with a fridge thermometer once, swore it was 38 degrees but everything was borderline. Turns out the sensor was just gummed up with dust or something. Cleaned it off and suddenly my greens stopped looking sad. You gotta double check those built in gauges, they're not always the heroes they claim to be.

Man, that's the worst. It's like your cooler was just casually lying to you for months, lol. My old fridge did something similar where it swore it was at the perfect temp, but my milk kept going bad in like three days. You start to question your own sanity. Glad you caught it before more flowers bit the dust.

Wait, it was off by 25%? That's a huge gap. How does a gauge get that wrong without anyone noticing?
