I guess, I still want to ask, and this is what I should have asked in the first place is, are the "crystals" I have the beads that are being refered to? the jar of stuff i have in there is only about 3 weeks old, so I "think" they are just too full to absorb any humidity in the humi, and wanted to know if there is anythign I can do to keep the humi from going overboard?
