Initial reading after jarring seems to always be around 45% rh or so, and then slowly starts creeping north. How long should you wait before you are confident that you've reached an approximate plateau?

I cure for no less then 30 days but longer is better. If you have ability a 4 month cure makes them extra sweet.

No, I don't mean to ask how long do you cure for. I mean, after you first jar after drying, how long does it take for the humidity level in the jar to stop rising and reach its stable rh?

best of memory, a day should be good, maybe 2 at worst, but it's stretching my curing memory

The warmer it is the faster it will stabilize

About a week for a stable reading.
