I have read other post and thought it was suposed to go up not down. So thought I would ask.

I know....shut up noob 😣

Did you already soil the wood lighly with distilled water?

Also, use some bovida packs or gel beads instead of the floral foam humidifier.

This time of year, its gonna take longer than usual. Could take several days more or even a week to stay stable

If I had my humi in the mid 60s. I would go ahead and throw my sticks in along with a little extra moisture and keep my eye on it. Having the sticks in will help stabilize it and mid 60s humidity won't hurt the smokes. ALthough I prefer mine to be in the 68-72 range.

To answer all the questions above, and thanks for the answers:

I did wipe it with distilled water first. My room stays at a pretty constant 68-70 deg for temperature. I have not been opening it, it has a window in it so I can see it using a digital hydrometer. Outside of the box we are sitting at around 35-40% humidity so it is definitely holding more than outside.

I currently have a shot glass of distilled, the foam hyro with 50/50, and a thing of beads in it. Perhaps it is overkill?

I have read all kinds of posts and responses to this one...People go both ways it seams. I figured because it was so dry it made sense for me to do it. Very light...it only stayed damp for about 45 min.

how do you do it Busa?

Provide the moisture and give it time.

What do you mean I was not supposed to fill it with water and let it sit for 5 days? Damn, hehehe
