Thanks for your reply. Im allowing 3-4 weeks for seasoning, im in no hurry (as all cigars are in tupperware with bovedas), just hope the beads hold the correct RH. I have a glass of distilled water in there also.
Yesterday was 47%
Today 51% RH.
When i checked the beads in a ziploc bag the gauge read from 47%RH straight to 63%RH in 1 hour. The reason I put it in the ziploc only an hour was to have a rough idea on how they beads are funcitoning and then put them back in the humi. Also being such a large bag of beads the small ziploc has very little space other than the bag and the hygrometer, so it was a quick test, one would hope if leaving for 24 hours the humidity would of continued to climb in the ziploc.
