    Default Will be away for curing, can't burp jars, what should I do?

    Hey guys.

    I'm just about to harvest my plants.
    They will be drying for about 7 days and right after it I will need to travel for 2 weeks and will be away during the first two weeks of curing of course.

    My question is what should I do? I know you're supposed to open the jars everyday for the first weeks of curing to circle things around and avoid mold.

    But I can't have anyone do it for me unfortunately.

    So, Keep the jars closed or opened for this time?

    Maybe put some silica drying pads on the jars , of course they will dry a lot but at least avoid losing it to mold?

    Or maybe a boveda? Is a boveda 62 capable of working humidity both ways to keep it on point ?

    I'm clueless ! Need help!!

    How about poking a few tiny holes in the lid to slow down the exchange of air but not stop it

    You really need to open the jars
    You can't leave em shut either and boveda
    Won't handle it either But not 100% on that.
    It'll be too wet I reckon

    Yeah Erb I think boveda will just keep the Rh steady at 62 when it gets to that stage through burping daily. If put into jars and closed the Rh will just rocket in high 90s and if left open just go crispy, airy and harsh. Bad timing having to go away op m8 I dunno what to suggest

    tbh the only way id cover it would be to vacuum bag it and keep in freezer till i could put all my attention to it.

    Cancel the plans. You could end up with some hay smelling buds if they have moisture left in them & they don't get burped.

    I guess I will have to rely on its marketing claims and prey for the best.

    From the boveda website:


    Code:
    Curing with Boveda is as simple as it is perfect.
    1. Dry using normal method until stems break (ideally, a tiny bit further)
    2. Jar with Boveda. 4g up to 14g of flower, 8g up to 1 ounce, 60g up to one pound, one 60g per pound.
    3. Cure as long as you like, no burping required.
    4. Enjoy!
    What’s happening while it’s curing?
    Boveda is fine-tuning by adding or removing moisture from the flower to give it the same moisture content throughout the flower. Burping for the sake of moisture isn’t necessary, so burp only if you like!
    We recommend drying a little past ideal so that Boveda’s primary purpose is to give moisture to the flower. That’s because it’s easy to tell when Boveda needs to be replaced – when the entire thing turns into a fairly solid wafer.
    When Boveda’s primary use is to remove excess moisture, it’ll still be soft and impossible to tell when it’s absorbed all it can.

    Dunno mate all sounds good there but I know when I chopped and dried my previous 2 harvests and put them in jars with boveda 62 the Rh crept up quite quickly for the 1st couple of weeks and needed burped multiple times daily.
    It definitely didn't do what it says on the site and bring Rh down but now that my bud is well dried the Rh is still in 60s so it's doing a good job of not getting too dry.
