A perfect cure every time

I have a hard time believing that this device will work in all circumstances.
Drying only has to do with temperature for a part. It is mostly about humidity.
Something would dry really fast on the cold North Pole and it will take forever in a hot jungle.
So as long as the device does not control the humidity, their claims are just not true for everybody.
Or there must be something in the device that they kept secret for us.

Perfect drying (for cannabis, cigars, whatever) happens in a good temperature and good humidity.

I've talked to a few people that have used it now. They love it and say they won't dry any other way now. I'm working myself up to buying one and seeing how it does.

I am sure that it will perfect for a lot of people. As long as humidity is within a certain bandwidth.
But if the humidity is outside this range, it will not work well.
Or - as I said before - there is something in the device that regulates the humidity.

They have a way to add humidity to the unit if you're in a low rh situation.

Ok, that explains something.
Perhaps they found a way to re-circulate the moisture that comes out of the wet weed.
It doesn't mention a reservoir or anything.

It looks kinda like a shot glass, you fill it with water and it slows the dry down.

Indeed, I saw it on their website.
But if the glass is the only thing that ads extra moisture...

But for the device to work properly, there must still be something extra in it. Otherwise it will not work in all circumstances, as you are always depending on the RV in your area.
If drying is only about just the right (and controlled) temperature, there are cheaper ways to dry your weed.
Take a look at how amateur beer brewers keep their beer at the right temperature when it is yeasting.

What I also wonder is how the device will perform when it is an enviroment where it is extremely hot already.
Does it have a way to cool as well?
Heating something up is easy to achieve, but for cooling a temperature down, it takes a lot more technique.

Ya idk, probably going to have to get one and see for ourselves. I do know, it's getting really good reviews, gotta be something there.

the magic number with cannabis is 63%. above 63% and curing continues, once you drop below 63%, it stops, and you cannot restart it.
i'll hang till it feels and looks right, usually around a week, then cut it off the bigger stems and jar it. the first day or two i may leave it out of the jar more than in, then i slowly start leaving it out for less time, till it gets to about 66%, then i just dump it out and stir it around, let it set for 5 minutes, then it goes back in the jar, and i repeat that till its jjuuussstt above 63%, then it goes into dark storage till i want some of it.

Have you got any sources for enzymes ceasing to break Down sugars below 63%, really interesting and concise information is important instead of the usual pseudoscience that gets banded around

Between 35-60rh 60-80 deg. I live in dry California all you need is a cheap humidifier and cheap hydrometer you don’t need it tho. LOL You’re overthinking all this like most stoners do everything smh. It’s a game changer like i said before. I’m done talking to you knuckleheads! LOL

Also, by this logic, a cigar humidor should be ideal for curing and keeping marijuana for long periods of time, right?[/QUOTE]
Most every cigar humidors are lined with Spanish Cedar to help stabilize humidity you may get the flavor imparted onto your buds which may make them not as yummy

Might have dried mine for too long. Got 2 strains, dried both for 7 days (humidity in room they dried in about 50% humidity). Trimmed and jarred them, left them for 24 hours and hygrometers are saying 1 strain's jars are at 60% and the other strain's jars are 55%. The 60% strain looks great but the 55% strain does look a bit crispy on the outside.

Does it help if I burp the 55% humidity strain once every 48 hours or so vs every 24 hours I was going to do with the 60% humidity strain?

Temp is 68 degrees, i have them curing in my cold cellar.

Thanks

Don't burp the 55 % humidity jar keep it closed....only burp it if the humidity climbs to over say 60%. You want to dry your buds in 60% humidity. 50% is too low. Dries too fast. Keep your jars around 60% humidity. No lower than 58%.

How many weeks you are in bloom is not a good measurement of maturity and harvest time....post some pics that will help to decide where you are in terms of harvesting...

I'm 12 weeks into flower!!! :spew:


But it was a mystery seed from a bag and obviously a sativa dominant strain as many sativas can take upto 3 months to finish. Then you have to consider if you are trying to grow sleep medicine which would take a bit longer even.
