curing question leaving jar open?

[SmokyLungs]

When i started curing rh was 75% but i felt the buds were already crispy enough its now 70-71 % when i burp for 30 min-1hr rh in jar stays at 64-65% so the question is if i leave the jar open will my bud continue to cure if the rh stays above the 55% mark or does the lid need to be closed?

Hi, yes the lid does need to be closed for the curing to manifest itself.

So it's going back to 75% if you close the jar?

No when i first put in the jar it was at 75% then overtime it lowered to 70% i left the jar open for a while this morning now its staying at 65% lid closed

bro stick some 62 bovedas in there and close it up

 

[Airwalker16]

Ya id recommend that too. Still burp but just once a day for 5-7 more days. Then you ought to be golden. Once a week after.

You might wanna leave the jar(s) on its/their side(s) as well. Seems to help for some reason...

Ive heard of those but only in people suffering from low humidity or over drying do those keep my humidity from going up? So it will stay at 62 rh? Or only if my rh is under 62?

It brings it to 62% regardless. +/- isn't an issue. They're 2 way.

I mean if you through in a wet bud just cut, no obviously. But after you've dried and cured/burped for a week or so, they're not a bad idea.

U mean like if i was to throw in a fresh wet cut bud in a jar a boveda wouldnt help only after a proper drying?

Precisely. They only take 3 days to ship with the cheapest usps off of their official site www.Bovedainc.com so you might wanna just buy em anyways. 10 w/ shipping is a measly $12.

ya bovedas are good when your bud is holding under 70% rh. ideal rh in a curing jar would be 55-63rh, in my view. you can leave bud in a jar w bovedas for months if youre in the zone.

If the buds are clumping together in the jar, you're not dry enough. If they separate after spinning the jars a few times, then leave the jars open 10 - 15 minutes per day. If they still clump or some stick to the bottom of the jar, dump them out and separate the buds and let sit out for a couple hours.

Once the buds can tumble in the jar without sticking together and you can hear them 'clinking' as you rotate the jars, drop in a Boveda 62 pack and seal them closed, then open the jars daily to exchange the air for a couple of weeks. Take a good whiff to make sure you don't smell a moldy or musty smell.
