Not burping jars for 4 days - will it hurt

[skunkjar420]

Gday

Got a harvest coming down any day now, I gotta be outta town for 4 days. I will have the buds cut, dried and jarred in a few days from now, but I won't be able to burp for the first few days, will the buds go mouldy?

never mind reread it. better off trying to extend harvest so your gone during dry time

I would do whatever to avoid jarring and not burping for 4 days.

I would think you are either drying too fast or jarring too soon. 4 days and jarred? Sounds like a recipe for mold here. I dry at least 12 days. Slow and low. My way.

This is probably the best outcome. Just paranoid about not being home with the exhaust fan running 24/7, gotta keep it all stealth where I am so I cut and hang the plants in the tent.

Open a zipper and leave an oscillating fan on low. Use a timer to run the inline only as long as needed to remove scent. You got me. Just blamed my ferrets for the smell back in the closet days.

I hang dry in a tent as well.
My filter/exhaust only runs when I hit 65% at 20% speed for a slow dry.
On 24/7 could be dry 2-3 days- did this by accident. Lost a bit of smells, but not total loss.
Definitely better to slow dry imo.
Everyone has their way.

I use temp control. But only 25% max at 70F.

Do you have any pictures of the plants you’re going to harvest in a few days?

Supplier not suggested. Easiest I have found. And drilling glass is messy potentially hazardous. Metal lids. Drill hole in them. Insert a piece of airline tubing in hole. Insert valve. Tube is seal between barb and lid. KISS.

Just another thought. No arguments. Peace.

Right now my tent has everything hanging and %is around 65, goes down when I turn the fan on. Humidity outside the tent is 30%.

I think you could just turn the lights off and try the 4days of darkness broscience, then do a proper dry and cure when you return.

I do like the drilling through the metal lids like michi-can posted its safer and easier i just couldn't find large enough jars with metal lids and had these jars for years.

Ive never burped any of my jars, shouldn't ever need to.

I'm sure I am not alone in the jar pursuit or insane costs this year. I am now strictly a jar exchange policy.

Those jars are nice that you use. Just hard to latch and unlatch. I see the need for elimination.

Dollar Tree sells smaller ones for a buck a piece. I bought a few cases. Happy after a year with them.

It takes months to get a cure balanced on my end. Only if I over dried would I jar and forget. How may I ask do you do it? Sincere. Too tired to troll.
