Boveda humidity pack

[SaHt420]

So imma have a large outdoor harvest this year if things go good could I just wet trim dry till snap but not break and toss in a mason witha 62% boveda and it’ll cure? Never used them before

Do you have some hygrometers?

Nope

Nope

I'd order some hygrometers. You can get a pack of cheap ones for like $2 a piece on Amazon or EBay. They're not super accurate, but they'll give you a good idea. You can't use Boveda's if the bud isn't already dry enough. I've used them a bunch and have mixed feelings about using them.

 

[SaHt420]

Understood

best bet is to buy a hygro as padawan stated. Dry the buds then put them in a jar and watch the humidity. If its creeping up, open the lid and let dry air in (burping) until the humidty lowers. Once the humidity in the jar stabilizes a few percent either side of 60%, you whack the bovedas in for safe curing and store them in a dark location.

Hygrometers are invaluable.

I dry mine until they are in range and use the packs to fine tune and stabilize the moisture level. They will dehydrate the buds down to 62%, but it takes a lot longer than hydrating them. I only use a hygrometer at the very end to see if they are locked into 62%, but they aren't necessary. I've never burped anything. I usually do a QP to a 1/2 at a time using twenty packs.

 

[PadawanWarrior]

You can rehydrate them too if you want.

Yeah, use a hygrometer and cure them properly. Don't use boveda packs, they ruin the terps compared to properly cured bud.

I've run upwards of 100lbs through them over the years, and you're just wrong.

58% is better IMO

I've also had good results myself with boveda. However i have only put about 3lbs through them. Had a qp in each jar last time, forgot about one, and it ended up smelling grassy after a few months, whereas the boved jar still had a pungent gas and pine smell. Could just be placebo though.

ill have to give it a go and see if it makes a difference. I've noticed my 62's lock it at 65.

I personally like the 62% because every time you open a jar you lose moisture. The bulk stays at 62% and everything that comes out of it is allowed to dip a little.
