Ok so far I'm right on track with what you are doing. Beads will arrive this week and I will leave them out till the end of the week or next.
I just thought it odd the humidity was lower at the top, thought it would be higher there. Just me thinking, not really a issue.
I'm in no hurry and plan on the long wait. I am sure it will balance but wasn't sure if beads should wait. Glad I asked
