So I harvested my plant out it to dry in the tent with passive intake using the cloud line controller set to 4..
dry conditions 68-71f rh 55-65
I took them down and jarred them after 8-9 days and after 24 hours the hygrometer is reading 52-54 rh between 3 jars I have ..

I do have 62% rh boveda packs , the small ones but before I throw them in I’d like to get some input on what I should do next ..

If y’all suggest throwing them in then I’ll put them in 2 jars and leave 1 jar without the boveda pick and see how tht turns out ..

but yeah what do y’all suggest boveda pick or no boveda pack?, for jarred buds at 52-54%rh

Dry it up, put in paper bag when dry. If good genetics will be fire. I hang mine 8 to 15 days then into paper bags. Nothing rotted on me since doing this. Yes bottom of bag dry if left open only. Lazy burbing l call it. Fuck 65rh still wet and mold grows in wet, drop rh as low as you can. Defol and break up colas. Once hang dried, longer is better for bigger buds.

FIrst off, are you 100% sure of the accuracy of the hygrometer? If it's accurate, I think you'll still be fine. I've been drying my bud out a bit more before jarring and it seems to preserve the terps.

Yeah it is , when I got the bóveda packs I placed one in a ziploc with the hygrometer and it read 62% spot on

I have read tht curing process stops below 55%-50% or would you say this a myth?

Curing apparently it does stop at a certain threshold of moisture.

Also forgot to mention when I did take them down to jar they were pretty crispy on the outside with slight moisture in the center and after the 24 hours first night they all feel evenly rehydrated with a slight crunch now the opposite basically i would say..

So what I get from your guys input, it should be fine right at 52-54 % after 24 hours and burp twice a day for 15 min the first week and then once a day 2nd week and once stabilized 1once a week from there on right?

also it wouldn’t hurt to add the bóveda packs to rehydrate to 62% and burp as usual until it stabilizes at 50-55%? But wouldn’t hurt if it gets down to 45% ?

so I’ll go ahead and put some bóveda packs in 2 jars and the 3rd leave as is and see which process I prefer but should I let it rehydrate up to 62%& once it is remove the bóveda packs and continue the curing-burping or just leave them in for the entire cure ?

here some pics of the buds and jars there in

Damn those numbers are all over the place, hard not to fall into those parameters, I think paying attention is key, and sampling too. Even with all those numbers you don't know what each person used as a whole for each step, just know it all can work out

If they are reading 52 rh it's good to stop burping. I wouldn't burp anymore once I saw 58%. I used to do all that meter in a jar stuff, now I just feel them and sample every couple days and decide when to stop burping.

Why’s that ? So no burping ? What do u mean?let the moisture build up/drawer out ?

it's not trying to give set parameters, it tells how many of the (alleged) world's top growers/suppliers do what to dry then it's correlated to each graph, at the end it has some guidelines based on the biggest % of temp and humidity.
