Beads

[stjohnroe]

Received mine yesterday and set up last night. Looks like the Little Havana hygrometer was way out of wack (reading +10 or so). Cracked open the standard humidifiers that I had and replaced the oasis. Put a 4oz tube in the cooler, have placed a new hygrometer in tupperware and ziplock bag with a bowl of beads to calibrate. I will probably also replace the gel from my madelaine pots with beads tonight.

Will let you all know how it goes.

sorry bout that, i got the 65% beads, i checked it this morning. i moved it to a warmer spot so its reading 71 degrees and 72%. my hygrometer might be out of wack, its a really cheap digital one.

Just performed salt test and new hygrometer reads 75%, old little Havana reading 83%, urgh, looks like I have been panicking for nothing.

Still, now that I have the beads I will hacve less to worry about.
