I understand. I guess I'm just having trouble envisioning a multiple tray system for doing that minimal screening of the bud between hanging and putting into container for curing. Maybe you're referring to your dryer racks?
My wife often jokes how we should have gone into the hygrometer business.
I didn't explain this well. It's not a multiple tray system. Nothing that complicated. In essence, it's a kief (sifter-type) box, just a lot bigger. I have two. Three, actually, but one isn't as large as the others. FWIW, I started out with a pair of 12x12 boxes that I got on ebay, similar to the Natural Goods boxes that are sold there now.
Sorry, Overgrow.com was the biggest canna forum in its time. To this day, nothing has come close to what OG offered. ICmag holds some of the last remnants of the group and its collective knowledge, though its GrowFAQ can still be found as the core of Cervantes' book. The board went down, after its owner's home was raided, and many of us went underground as a result. It's a long, complicated story.
Now that you explain it, I think I've seen others reference that before.
Then you definitely waited too long to get them into the jars and they were over dried. It is a lot better to put them into the jars a little too wet than too dry. At least you can dump them out of the jars and let them dry more. Once the buds are over dried there is nothing you can do to "re-start" the curing process. Yours buds may still be decent, bu they will not have the smell and potency that they could have. Live and learn!I tried the jar method previously to reading this. It is drier than a popcorn fart! It makes sense to get a hygrometer and perhaps I let it hang too long before putting into jars. Like others say there is no aroma until you break into the buds and I wish it had turned out more potent. Next time I will get a hygrometer and try this out. Nice tutorial.
Amazing. Our community can create quite the demand for what's essentially a product aimed at a very limited market. Thank you for posting this. I'll be ordering some Caliber IVs, as well.
You can find them on amazon for like $15. But as I stated in my post it may be difficult to find the Caliber III's because they've been discontinued but the Caliber IV's are the same and you can calibrate it.
I am new. I like to argue as well, but I also like to smoke pot and dont have four months to waist. Thank you for you information.
It's a confined, sealed environment. There's not enough air inside a container to produce a meaningful variance.
My grow room is a confined, sealed environmental too, and when the temperature drops 15*F after lights off the relative humidity goes up. The absolute humidity will be the same, but the relative humidity (what the hygrometer measures) fluctuates with temperature so I don't see why it wouldn't apply to a drying container.
Your growroom holds a lot more air than a jar. I thought I already explained that. If it still doesn't make sense to you, put one of the suggested hygrometers in a sealed container and note the changes. BTW, the hygrometer doesn't measure the relative humidity. That requires a small calculation and an awareness of the dew point.
