Interesting observations on RH

While the premise of higher humidity air stagnating near the beads is valid, the flaw in your theory is that the auxiliary fans ran before too, so that higher humidity air was always being moved around.

What was observed, in a nutshell, is that Steve's active humidifier ran dry, and the humidity went UP in the tower after that happened.


Steve, you said you were away, or not around your humidor anyway, for the weekend. Are you in it a lot normally? That would be the first thing I would consider, that simply keeping it closed for a few days allowed it to rise to the set point RH of the HCM beads.
