So after drying and trimming the buds are placed in mason jars…for a while. It’s my understanding to keep the jars in a cool dark area? Open them once a day for a few minutes to breathe? What else can be done? Any way to mess it up? And I see some people use Bovida humidity packs in their jars. At what point is this done? ---

Dont over cure and dry it out. You can get a cheap 10 pack of hygrometers to place in the jars or use the bags you mentioned now. ---

I use 2-way 62% Boveda packs (small size). I had hygrometers in the jars. From now on, no more hygrometers. Boveda packs kept them right at 62% for about a month and a half and I only burped maybe 4 times. Now I have them in Grove bags for storage. Works like a charm. You might want to look into the Grove bags. You supposedly don’t have to even burp them I believe. Good luck! 👍🏻✌🕶 ---

So what happens if it dries out too much? What size 62% Bovida? And do you fill the jar with bud? or half full? ---

The size was I think considered small, about an 1.5” sq. I put 1 pack and a hygrometer and an oz. of weed in the jar. You’ll see, it’ll keep your weed at 62%. 👍🏻✌🕶 ---

Do you think it’s possible to store more than one z in a quart jar with a bigger pack or is that ,too crowded ? ---

IMO, that may be too crowded. I use quart size jars and that’s just big enough to hold an oz. hygrometer and a pack. ---

Thanks …read on some other forum I stumbled upon …someone said to use the 67 graham size pack for a quart or half gallon size jar Quart wide mouths are cheap enough thanks again ---

As @StonedCold13 mentioned the hydrometer is a good tool to add in each jar to monitor moisture level. Also the bovida packs I don’t like to use with the curing process , Maybe later. Just my thoughts good luck ---

Go Back again you read something wrong they are dirt cheep. I bought 25 one ounce bags for 25 dollars. Way cheaper than jars and imho work as well if not better. ---
