    Default Electronic moisture meter for drying buds

    I’ve been searching the net to help me from drying my buds too much and came across a few posts mentioning one of these and I just wondered if anybody else has or does use one
    Cheers

    Do you not have one inside your grow room? We all have a hygrometer surely but to answer your question you can buy mini ones off flea Bay for a few quid that fit inside the jars

    Yeah, each jar always gets a mini hydrometer (also available as pack of six from amazon including batteries - cheap) and two 62% Boveda packs.

    Takes away the guess work.

    I think Scorpion is talking about a digital moisture meter. I have not tried one but now i will. Just need to do some research to find one not too expensive and confirmed to be accurate.

    Like everyone else i currently use mini hydrometer in each jar.

    Can't say I've ever seen one to be honest but surely its not much different from a hygrometer? Time to jump on Google me thinks

    Professional grow houses use very expensive versions of these to monitor leaf moisture content for a perfect consistent dry.

    You would be surprised how very little moisture there is in cannabis when you get below 15%. I send flowers in for testing and if they don't feel bone dry to me they get rejected as having too much moisture, bone dry feeling to me comes out of about 12.5% moisture. I like a little bit more moisture content than that, especially if I'm trying to hold it consonant with boveda bags.

    Thanks for the replies peeps and sorry I should have worded it better I do have the mini hygrometers, CD is right that’s the one I meant lol, I thought it might have helped me more with the drying as what usually happens is after 4-5 days I think they are dry so I jar them then the humidity builds up quite a lot then I end up putting them in boxes or back in the drobe then it’s the same shit every few days and then by the end I’ve fucked it up and it’s well too dry and tastes like shit
    Cheers peeps
