i've used the boveda packs, unless you get the really big ones or use several of the small ones, they won't dry out a lot of bud, the small ones are for a 1/4 oz, so they'll take forever to dry out a whole jar of bud unless you use 4 or 5.

also you can test any rh meter by putting it in a sealed container with a small container (snapple cap/ half a shot glass size) of damp(not drenched)salt. within an hour or so it should say 75% and stay there till you open the container. if it doesn't, adjust it so it does.

I think I can replicate that, using a large Tuppa'ware bowl and the snapple/ cap and salt cake.

I had to clip a few worm eaten buds from one of my Bag Seed Tester plants yesterday. Sucks to be so close, then have problems.

That's when I always have problems. Bugs and other problems usually arrive about the 5th week of flower. The bovedas are working good for me, but I let the buds get where I think they need to be before putting them in the jar. Out of 25 jars I only had to take the buds back out of one this time. I'm getting better at this!

Finally got a couple of hours to devote to the humidor project. I used a nibbler to rough-cut the hole, and the tip-ends of right-hand tin snips turned upside down to make the left-hand cutters. The snips can hold a fine line. If you cut on the outer edge of the black mark made using the template, and then there's not alot of filing to finish-of the edge. It's a 2-1/8" diameter hole that lets the gauge drop in easily. Put the cardboard seal back into the lid, trace a hole using the edge of the hole that's been cut. The cardboard seal is brittle. Cut it with a new blade, on top of another piece of cardboard so the blade can sink in.
Cut-off the tip-end of the sealant tube so the discharge hole remains small. A single bead will do the job and then wipe the overage off with a towel dipped in acetone. Acetone will dissolve the sealant, so stay away from the gauge bezel. The battery tray can still be accessed.
The gauge took an hour to normalize up to 62%. Then, last pic, I opened the jar to atmosphere and the humidity needle shot up to 64%.
Fantastic cookie-jar humidor. Thanks LN420 for a great addition to better living. :p

Well, rot not! My first application. of Cease™, 3.75 mls. per pint (shaken). There's no "cling", so water will affect Cease's effect and, so stay dry. Use up to harvest (edibles anyway). Shake continuously during spraying. A preventative, use in veg. through bloom. Once boytrytis or brown/black mold is present, Cease won't stop it.
A rotational preventative is Marathon™
