Harvest & Curing Boveda packs any good?

[carl brutananadilewski]

So i found these talked about boveda 62% rh packs on amazon. R they worth it? Do i just jar up my flower after ive hung dry them and put this pack in with it? No burping or what?

Once dry to the point of the stems slightly cracking and flowers are dry to the touch on the outside,I'm pretty much going to toss in a hygrometer, burp the jars and gradually over a few weeks lower the humidity inside them. Once I stabilize the humidity to around 63-65%, I'll tape a 62% Boveda to the inside of the lid. You really don't NEED Bovedas, but they help to maintain the rh over a course of time, especially if you're constantly dipping in the jars.

O ok. I was hoping for a set it and forgetit kinda thing. So i just need to burp the jars once a say for a dew hours until it stabalizes at 65ish rh?

I would throw the buds in the jar for the first time and leave it sealed for about 24 hours to get a solid reading rh wise.After that period, burp the jars twice a day for say 5-10 mins for the first week. It wouldn't hurt to move the buds around in the jar either when burping. As you sweat the buds out and the flowers wick moisture from the stem you'll notice humidity fluctuate.During the second week you can space out the burping to say once every 2-3 days depending on your hygrometer readings. If the humidity climbs by a drastic increase, you know you need to burp a little more often.You want to gradually approach that sweet spot but not long enough to chance mold.Once you reach that 65% reading, you can add your Boveda if you'd like.

Check out the sticky FullDuplex posted if you haven't already. " The time we all work so hard for."

I agree 100% with the Goblin.
I will add that it's well worth your time (I personally consider it critical) to calibrate your hydrometers. I've had a few that were way off, one by just over 12%.

I put a small slice of apple in my jars for the first day or so till they feel rehydrated. Then take it out and just burp jars. Works good for me

I just left it overnight and made sure the wet side was facing up and the peel side was the one touching.
