OK, that's what I thought.

Not really stressing. I just want to do this properly so I can start aging my smokes and enjoy them. Besides, until I get this humi broken in, I don't have a lot of room for more cigars...

And there are many different ways to season a humidor, it just all comes down to what you wanna do. I really don't think there is a incorrect way of doing so.
Good to hear. I guess I was just wondering if I should pull the Puck out until the cedar has absorbed a bit more water, as it looks like the beads in the buck have become more saturated since I put them in.

For the salt test I would wait around 3 days to get a more accurate rating
I can do that. The various how-tos and FAQS I read were all over the map.
