Anyone using "grove bags" to cure?

I agree with you there. It’ll be my first time using them instead of jars with humidity packs. That’s the problem with jars, after harvest, you have to remember to burp them or let them get air to get humidity out if buds are still abit wet.

Do u get any condensation in the bags after a while in the fridge?

No haven’t had that issue.
RH can drop over time because there is 25% RH in the fridge.
Occasionally need to add a fan leaf to the bigger bags. 1/4lb and up… to bring the moisture back.

I keep one in my grove bag all the time. My opinion of them… great concept. Technology pretty cool. And they absolutely maintain those humidity levels. (If you dried the bud down to about 11 percent. And then put in bag. It works great. My only issue is that as your supply demishes. The humidy rises up to71 percent bit much.


I just finished drying latest and experimenting with the cold temp curing. Currentky. Inside the bag in freezer.

Anyone not a fan of grove bags for curing? I could be wrong but since it keeps the bud fresh or green for so long it feels like my bud didn’t get a good cure on them. And it seems like they work a little too well at keeping the bud from drying out. I grew 5 different strains this time and none of them were really that great. I guess my upcoming harvest I will do at test between the two. I think I’ll probably just use the grove bags for long term storage in the end. Picture of my Killer Kush girl just cuz :slightly_smiling_face:

Nothing wrong with a little compare/contrast experiment. I would like to hear how it works. I haven’t used jars for curing or long storage, sometimes will have a little half-pint on top of my cupboard for the week’s worth. I am interested to see what happens with your experiment, let us know!

I just took about an ounce of zkittlez from Grove bag to jar for use. It’s been in the bag for about a month. I had another jar with about 2 oz and a boveda pack curing for comparison. It’s not even close. The bud that’s been in the jar the whole time barely even smells. I opened up the grove bag to reload another jar and my whole bedroom smells of the funk. Getting ready to roll a couple and compare but I already know it’s going to taste better out of the grove bag too. I’ll never attempt to cure in jars again. Grove bags are easier to use and have better results.

Just following up, my suspicion was correct. Tastes so much better from the grove bag. May be in my head but the effect seems better too. Idk but I can say for sure it’s an all around better smoke and experience.

I just took some Bubba Kush out that I set aside for a 6 month cure…smells as great or better than the stuff that cured for 8 weeks. I do use jars…but just for the stuff I am consuming.

How do you use moisture meters? I’m looking to purchase one, any recs? And is it necessary to use? I’m about to harvest in ~ one week.

It’s not necessary if you have the experience to know, by feel, when they are dry. The meter takes out any guess work. This is the one I used. Works great. To use them, just stick the prongs into the bud and it’ll tell you the moisture level. Set it to wood setting for the most accurate reading. Once you get to around 10-12% moisture then you’re good to bag them up.

Thanks. I’ve seen a ton of people talking about them but the thread is so long I couldn’t find how to actually use it. And by sticking in the bud you have to like put those prongs actually inside?

Just moved about 10 jars into a Grove bag. Will be my first time using them. Ive done my research and everyone loves them.

Disregard the mess on my workbench.

A messy workbench means you’re actually working. Props.

Yes, I agree with you there!!!

Yes, just jam them in the bud as far as you can. The probes are only about 1/2” long so you may need to bend the bud to get in there deeper for thick buds.
