Seasoning a humidor.

Ok, I did the salt test pnoon and it came back with 71 and I know it is supposed to be at 75%. Well I put the hygro in the cooler with the beads and a day later it reported back 65%, and that is what the beads are. SO maybe I under/over saturated the salt in the salt test and it didn't come back with a good reading. I did it in a tupperware container too. So maybe I didn't give it enough time to acclimate? I have it 12hrs.

Reason I think the hygro is on point is because the beads are 65% and I got 65% in the cooler. Ya know?

Its been sitting for 24 hours. Tomorrow I"ll put the cigars in there and see what happens from there.

I do a minimum 24 hours salt test in a sealed tupperware container. The salt solution should make it a slurry not dripping went not "moist" either. Do this for at least 24 hours and report back. If the hygo does not read 75% then it's off and you need to adjust that either on the hygro if adjustable or just write it down on a piece of paper.

I agree, Andrew.

The salt test wasn't performed long enough. Nor we do we know what type of hygrometer is being used.

I know lots of things.
I think your logic is flawed.

Slow down and read a little bit. And sarcasm towards the FOG's who are trying to answer all your random questions, each posted in an individual thread, is probably a bad idea.
