Just got everything trimmed up and put in jars and for the first time I'm using hygrometers.

So apparently I must have waited a little to long to get them in the jars because once I did the hygrometers were reading in the low to mid 50s rh. A couple were even in the high 40s rh.

They didn't seem overly dry when I was trimming. Somewhere though I must have screwed something up.

So I kind of panicked and threw some boveda packs in to bring up the rh. After further research I found out to not use the boveda packs right away and after I day of having them in the jars I pulled them out in hopes to not mess anything up anymore than I already did.

So now most my jars are in the mid to upper 50s rh without the boveda packs.

I'm wondering how I should move forward from here. Is mid 50s rh ok or should I be trying to raise it to 62% like with using the boveda packs?

This is day 2 of curing in mason jars.

Wait and see if th RH comes up some more, basically curing stops at around 55%. After the rh stabilizes, then if it's still low, add the Bovedas.

Okay I will do that. Thank you, I appreciate it! How long would you recommend i go with them being in the mid 50s before I add the boveda packs?
