Great way to calibrate humidity sensors
I bought a pack of like two dozen of the humidity/temperature sensors on Amazon and they varied quite a bit from one to the other which is not good when you trying to regulate humidity for cannabis plants.I bought one of these Boveda calibrated packs and was able to put the percent humidity correction on all of the sensors that I bought using a small piece of freezer tape

These Work - but Be Patient
I've used this to calibrate 4 hygrometers so far: 3x SensorPush sensors and 1x AcuRite 01080 Pro.It's incredibly easy to do, just zip the hygrometer into the bag and wait. Once the humidity readings settle, they should read exactly 75.5%.There are a few things to be aware of:1) This is advertised as both a 75% and 75.5% calibration kit. In reality it is 75.5% - but that half % isn't overly meaningful for most hygrometers - especially if they don't report decimal points anyway. Just keep in mind that if yours does report decimal places, you should target 75.5%.2) Be patient! This is advertised as taking between 24-36 hours for the humidity to settle, and I read several reviews where people thought it was done in as little as 6-8 hours. With the ones I've calibrated, they got within 5% of the final RH in the first 6 hours - and were within 2% of the final RH within 24 hours. In all 4 cases, they didn't truly settle until close to the 36 hour mark and I would have been miscalibrating the hygrometers if I pulled them out early.Just remember, if you're going to go through the trouble of calibrating your hygrometer, be patient and wait a full 36 hours. Ending the calibration early won't help if the calibration ends up being incorrect. (NOTE: I wouldn't have even noticed it wasn't done if I weren't looking at the SensorPush graphs on the first calibration - it seemed like it had settled when just looking at the current numbers.)Another thing that wasn't clear to me is that these packs are re-usable for up to 3 months. If you have 3 hygrometers to calibrate, you don't need 3 packs - just calibrate them back to back (which for me, made it even harder to be patient when I realized the humidity level was still creeping up slowly after 24 hours).If you do care enough about the accuracy of your hygrometer to go through the trouble of calibrating them - then I highly recommend using these little packs from Boveda. The overall process couldn't be simpler.

The included air-tight bag is too small for many hygrometers
I bought an AcuRite 01080M Pro hygrometer. Unfortunately, the air tight bag that Boveda provides is too small to fit one of these inside. For the price, I think Boveda should provide a larger bag and a larger 75 RH pack to accommodate calibrating larger hygrometers.

Looks Easy(?)
The idea is elegant! The magic potion inside the sealable envelope will maintain a stable humidity inside the envelope that your hygrometer must match.Leave it in there for a couple of hours (8, actually) and see what your hygrometer reads through the transparent bag. Then, take it out and turn it up or down, depending on how many clicks or turns it takes to match. Stick it back inside the back to make sure you got it right.I believe that—as long as the bag remains well sealed—the magic goop inside remains potent to maintain the set humidity. (But I used to believe in the tooth fairy as a kid too.)

It's a bag. Accurate.
It's a simple product. A bag with a pouch inside. You put hygrometer in, zip it up, wait for it to read 75%. Can be used for up to 3 months after first opening.So I bought an AcuRite hygrometer and wanted to calibrate it just to see how accurate it was (I'm just using the hygrometer for my home this winter). I don't know if I was lucky, or if the AcuRite hygrometer or this calibration kit were super accurate, but as you can see in the picture, mine read exactly 75% humidity. Nice.CALIBRATION NOTE: Calibration may take some time! I think any negative reviews for their hygrometer or this kit come from people who may not know how slowly moisture content changes, especially with calibration. The calibration kit says to keep it in the calibration bag for a minimum of 24 hours. I highly recommend keeping it inside for longer.Straight out the box, I hung my unit for a day and it read somewhere between 60 and 65% humidity in the house. I put it inside this calibration bag and it took 3 days to get to 71%. I almost took it out and calibrated it up 4 percentage points (to 75%), but I kept it inside. Next day it read 72.8% and since it was increasing, I thought to wait and see how high it would get so I left it. I ended up forgetting about it and four days later it was at 74.9%. That’s when I took pictures with it still in the bag. Upon moving the bag for the pictures, the reading fluctuated to 75, 75.1, then back to 75. But I mean, you can’t get much more accurate than that.THE POINT IS THAT IT TOOK LIKE A WEEK TO CALIBRATE EXACLTY TO 75%, so that’s why I recommend leaving your hygrometer to calibrate for definitely longer than a day, and wait before writing a bad review for a “bad” hygrometer or "bad" calibration kit. Moisture is a fickle thing! Unlike temperature.By the way, this is ONE bag. Picture shows "2" bags only to show the front and back.

Too Easy! Great Calibration Standard!
