your sorta both right, but I think Josh should still buy the beer. The reason Josh is right, is because his experiment is true, because you are measuring humidity relative to temp. expressed as a percentage, and a cooler temp. holds less water, so when surface area of water in the containers is equal the percentage reads higher in the lower temp. However Jen is right in that higher temp. can holds more water molecules, which means more moisture(water in the air) before reaching 100 %saturation and condensing. The other issue at hand with incubation is which is more important the amount of water in the air or the amount of water in the vermiculite (solid media). If you say media, it will stay moist longer with lower temps because higher temp will drive the liquid water in the media into vapor faster and thus drying out the media faster. If you say the moisture in the air is more important, then the higher temp would be better, because more water will be driven into vapor. You both owe me a bottle of Chimay Blue.
