Hi, Greenthumbs!
This is the first time I've ever used them for a cure, but because this is such a complicated harvest I thought it might make things easier. Since this is a pheno hunt, I'm not just harvesting everything into one big pile - I'm separating out the buds from about 5 different plants, and will weigh each plant's output individually when the cure is finished. That means I need to keep the buds from the possible mothers in their own jars for a few weeks, separate from each other, until they can be properly smoked and evaluated.
So I've got a lot of different jars with different quantities of weed, many of them harvested a week or two apart, and it's a challenge to maintain them all at optimum moisture levels. I have a record of when each plant was harvested, so I know that Jar #3 is three days farther along in the cure than Jar #1, and Plant #7 was cut a week before Plant #2 and a week and a half before #3 (and so on) but none of the primary mother candidates were harvested on the same day. Since the Boveda packs are supposed to absorb extra humidity as well as release it as needed, I thought they might help me keep every jar at a uniform level.
So far, it really seems to be working. They all smell incredible; I usually suck at curing, but these are really making it go more smoothly. I think I'll be doing this on a regular basis from now on. Only thing I'll change is get some larger sized packs for tubfuls, because the little 60-grammers aren't well-suited for a pound or a pound and a half in one container.
i have used them with a split harvest, sure made things easier.
You still have to remember to burp the jars until you get the right texture and pliability you desire. I am totally sold on them.
