Bead stabilization?
About how long have your guys beads taken to get the RH to the designated level on the beads after loading them in. I went ahead and bought a bunch of beads after my onboard humidifer was undershooting by 10% or so (55%). I seem to be stuck at 55% RH currently a day later after loading them in, and I was just curious how long it has taken in your experience to get the beads to stabilize.

I wanted to update about what has happened since...
I was able to get the humidity moving (Generally a good idea to have your humidifier at the bottom when possible as water weighs less than air) and the RH rose all the way to 64%, and then it tumbled the next 2 days and now its back down to 58%. Its the damndest thing.
So basically the beads got the RH to essentially the rated number, and then it began to fall back to where it was originally. My suspicion is that the RH had been too low for too long, the box/sticks absorbed the fresh moisture and the beads decharged. My problem with this suspicion is that the beads are still somewhat clear.
Before I go on a humidity adventure and overcharge the beads, I would love to hear if anyone else had a problem like this.
