    Default Curing humidity low

    I think I may have missed a trick with the curing stage, I assumed when it was dry you just chucked it in a jar with a boveda pack and it went to 62% humidity then you just burp it. One jar is at 58-60% humidity with a boveda but the other is about 54% with a boveda, weed was definitely dry when it went in, tent was 65% humidity when I took weed out and jarred up. Could I have over dried it?

    Could very well be differences in the devices you're using to measure the humidity....out of couriosity, swap the one in the jar that's at 60% with the other which is at 54%...wait a few hours and see if it is just discrepancies between the devices

    Didn't even think of that, they were 6 for a tenner off ama lol, I have 2 better ones for the tent that are 1 c difference and nearly 10% humidity difference when side by side. Tried takin battery out but no difference, no reset either.

    Tell me about it...I looked into it and saw some videos that show how incorrect some of these devices are lol, best to just average it out in my opinion.

    Throw in a few stems... worked for me. Stems are fatter and dry slow so retain more moisture which can raise humidity without affecting the taste

    Swapped those over and the humidity adjusted accordingly so the jars are as they were before the meter swap. Probably just overdried it, could have probably took it down earlier by maybe a day, will be more clued up next time

    Ok great so at least now you know it was indeed the bud and not the devices..it can be tricky to perfect, but all is not lost..burp the bud that's drier less often than the other is what I would now do

    I would also recommend Boveda packs, they help maintain a certain humidity percentage, and will raise the humidity if needed and lower it too when required...I personally use the 62% ones.

    Ive heard of people using orange peel or lettuce to bring up RH if youve over done it.

    Mine went up to 57 from 52 by adding about a foot of stem. Was pleasantly surprised
