Seasoning a humidor.

My humidor isn't much, as far as the amount of cedar in there. Its a display case, so there is glass on all sides and the only cedar is the cedar stripes holding the glass in the the inside of the humidor ( about 3/8 thick ) and the cedar shelves.

Is this going to require the 7-14 days needed to fully season a typical humidor? Or since its minimal cedar in there maybe a few day or so? I started it this morning with a small bowl filled with maybe 1 inch of water and I put two bags of beads ( around 10g ) and the humidity is sitting at 69%. I'm pretty sure the hygrometer is correct.

The humidor only called for around 7 oz of beads. I was going to put 16oz in there to help keep the humidity top notch. But I may run a small cooler and use 5oz in there to keep its humidity stable.

Whatcha' think?
