Any advantage in adding a Integra 62% pack in the jars to cure???

You can add them if you need to otherwise I don’t use them

It’s more (in my mind) to prevent it from drying too much too fast. My last grow dried to a crisp in 3 days. And I am concerned it ruined to crop…how dry to the buds actually get in a few days hanging in tent with no lights. Air temp around 80% (florida) RH around 50%. And at what RH do you put in jars??? Or what should the RH be as I jar??? I know there is no absolute answers just trying to get a rough idea for evaluation purposes.

@garrigan62 interesting twist on the use of Boveda packs. After you learned more from Roger what % pack were you thinking would be best… I’m wondering… After person mentioned smaller bud drying in a few days I too want my weed to dry then cure - not overdo and try to re-humidify

@neofirebird and @Gremmall,
I was thinking of getting as many of each. I don’t want to come up short when doing the most important part wright

I use the 62% 8 gram packs
1 per quart mason jar.
After drying and when jarring for the cure I place 1 pack 62% in each jar.
If for some reason you were to use a 1/2 gallon jar you may want to have 2 packs per jar. I leave them in there until empty and then place the pack in a jar sealed for later use. Eventually they lose their ability to release or absorb moisture and then you discard. I have read where some say they rejuvenate them to extend their use but I haven’t.
I also place a mini hygrometer in some of the jars so I can monitor the RH

Hi bro,
just some thoughts for when it is too warm (we have 35°C/95F at the moment) and the plants dry too fast, its not scientific it is just how I handle it:
harvest when the soil/medium is still wet (dont let it dry out before harvest)
hang the whole plant without removing any leaves.
hang it only for 2-3 days, then chop down to single branches and put it brown paper bag (in a dark as cool as possible place), put the paper bags in a big plastic bag and tie a knot so the moisture stays in and they can sweat. Check 1-2 times a day if everything is right. After 2-3 days of doing this remove all trimmables and jar the buds. After that you can do the usual: remoisture with leaves, lemon peel or something, boveda packs etc.
of course all numbers/times are only estimates, always use common sense, eyes, touch

@Cheesemaker thanks for the input!
You really don’t need to. You need to open them often to burp them anyway.
