That was simply my way of stating the it was as close to 100% humidity as possible.
Mine was my “orchid nursery”, which was a 6’x3’ ebb and flow tray to which I had added foil-faced insulating foam walls and top, making it 3’ tall. One long face carried full-length sliding glass doors.
It contained LED lighting, there were seedling heat mats under the top sheet of non-woven polyester mats (think floor scrubber pads) I used as the floor, the tray created a standing 1” reservoir under the mats, and there were a couple of small muffin fans used to provide air circulation.
A Mist King system fogged the entire chamber for two minutes at 5 am, and for 30 seconds twice more each day.
