That's plus or minus 3% for the sensor, which means a meter reading 64% could be anything between 61 and 67%. Do a salt test on all your meters and note how far off 75% each one is in the morning.

I can't do that when I'm using them all for my jars
Take them out and close the jars. The RH doesn't change when they're closed!

Plus to be honest with you I've done been down at salt test route before you know how many times I did it opened it up and it said my reading was only 28% humidity which we all know that ain't truth so evidently I don't know how to do that correctly and I do it exactly like you tell me

Well let me know how you do the salt test and all I have is tap water I hope that'll work
If you have a tupperware or ziploc bag and distilled water, you can do the salt test to see if they're accurate.
You take a bottle cap from something like a jam jar, fill it to just below the rim with salt, then put in enough distilled water to turn it to slush without it spilling. That and the meter(s) go in a ziploc or tupperware sealed on the kitchen counter out of the sun. Leave it there overnight (I don't like to rush these things), and in the morning it should read 75% RH.

Manufacturer says to +3 honestly I think I'm probably pretty good to go from what I'm seeing on the reviews everybody's saying their accurate. But just for you because I have respect for you I'm going to do it again. I'm just curious to see what it shows

I guess tonight I'll see about getting broken ass down maybe she's dry she was still a little damp last night some buds was a little crispy but not all majority of her felt like she still needed to dry more
With tap water? There must be a reason the instructions say distilled! And use something completely airtight and not much larger than the meters and cap need to fit.
Nope, the manufacturer says ±3%. That's plus or minus, not just plus. That's the margin of error for the sensor from the factory. The only way to know which meter is going which way is to test them.
One meter can say 56% and the other can say 62% and the manufacturer calls them both correct.

No I bought a gallon of distilled water last time
Maybe the container was too big or it wasn't airtight. I've run that test about 5 times and it always works at regular room temps.
