My box parimiters

[chad1313]

My humidity is at 65% RH and temp goes from 70-75F i guess this is ok knowing that i bought 70% Beeds(whay are they not holding at 70% but steady at 65%?). Should i worry about the temp though? its starting to get hot here in michigan.

What was the RH in the box b4 you put the beads in there? Did you calibrate the meter first? If so, did you note the error? I would move the box to a closet that doesn't get opened much. That should keep the cigars much cooler than in an open room. BTW, what is the thermost set at for the AC?

Im not sure what it was before. I got a Diamond crown digi meter and i did calibrate it with the salt test for a few hours and it reads exaclty 70%. My AC is ushually around 68F but upstairs gets bad air flow and the rooms are warmer during the spring/summer. I just like to keep the box up here because its my office. but i got a storage closet i could put them in.... have to check the temp out in there, never would of thought it would be cooler in there.

hmmm...%70 after a few hours? Leave it in for 8 hours, and it should read exactly %75. So, if you were to add %5 to your reading, you would be at %70. :whistling:

huh? when you calibrate the meter, it should read %75 not %70.
