Beads

Ok here we go another question after doing my salt test with my
hydro everything was reading fine at(70 F & 73 RH). So I put my
hydro in my humi. I didnt get a chance to put my beads in the
humi right away and the RH dropped to 53 then I put the bead in
within a halfhour the RH went up to 56.
Now the beads I bought are XL 70% RH black cap heartfelt
humidity tube. Directions say roll it and spray with distilled water.
would it be better to take the beads out of that tube and put
them in a different container. Or leave them in the tube they came in.

I think the tube they came in will work fine, Give it some time in the humidor. How big is your humidor? I have a half lb. of beads for my 100 ct. desktop.
Spray the beads until they are clear, I just dump distilled water on them, I've been doing that for years now. But leave them sit for a few hours. Also you might want to consider buying one additional tube maybe like a medium size one, and leave it dry, the two will balance each other out and you will have the humidity level you are looking for.

I have a bally's 100ct I'm sure not the top of the line
but for a gift it is the best. But the dimensions are
13-3/4" x 6-1/2" x 10"= 980 cubic inches.

Beads work better when you can spread them out. The bigger surface area the better. I keep mine (a couple pounds worth) in plastic bowls. Makes them easier to moisten. Also, I'll soak half of them and the other half I leave dry. It helps (me) balance the humidity.

Good luck
