11% is the moisture content in the bud. 11 to 14% is ideal dry. 11% is equal to 61% humidity for curing.
@beachglass thank you. I haven’t come across that one yet. I’m familiar with the 60-60 for drying and I have the Boveda packs at 62% for my cure jars. ![]()
Thanks beach!
@Lmckenzie0322 @beachglass every week I learn something new in here. Just read a post that said College for Cannabis lol. B.A. in Smokology lol.
It is not necessary, so most don’t use it. I think it is use for moisture in wood mostly. I just like the added security of being able to shove the prongs into the bud and ‘seeing’ the numbers.

I love the assurance being my very first grow! I just don’t trust myself! ![]()
@beachglass @Lmckenzie0322 my break even point for all the gear I’ve bought for this endeavor is a decade away already lol. Amazon seems to be dropping boxes off on the daily…. Thank you both for letting me drop in on your chat.

Cool drinks!
How am I looking? Think I should trim off the bottom leaves? They don’t seem to be blocking anything right now.
Thanks
@Lmckenzie0322 seems pretty opened up for light penetration already imho. Gotta keep a few to harvest energy.
They are referring to a moisture meter that has probes (pins) that can be inserted into the stem to take a reading. They are commonly used to find leaks in walls.
Yep yep hopefully I’ll be inserting the pins directly into the buds!
