Mold doesn't seem to grow fast at 55%(or lower.) I can't think of a time I've seen it spread once by bud is dried-maybe someone else has. I wouldn't worry about it if your bud is at 55% in a jar, but it wouldn't hurt to crack it open and inspect them once in a while.
ok, I will keep that in mind! however, the thing that pisses me off is that before I sent them to flowering I sprayed micronized sulfur and sterilized the area with the ozonator (it is placed outside where I exhaust the air and I use it to sterilize by closing the whole box and after an hour I also start the outside exhaust to avoid breathing ozone). I ensured good air recirculation, every top was moving, the air exhaust was outside and I had two good dehumidifiers one inside and one outside. Every time I change my house something has to happen.
Yes in fact that's what I meant. I wanted to ask if it would be better to dry them out so much to get below 55% in jar so that mold would not propagate given the dryness. I'm afraid that by putting them in jars aiming to get to 62% and then eventually slowly get down to 58% I might create the ideal environment for the rot to resume.
I basically treat them like a bad spot on an apple or loaf of bread - cut off the affected part and maybe 1/2" around it in all directions, and keep the rest that's not affected.
Apples I’m down with. I would recommend against cutting mold off bread and eating it. But if you feeling dangerous run the jewels have some fun. Yolo
Those vaults are designed for storage and like the finishing of a cure and by no means "Auto" you still need to burp them. The Op is also having issues in the drying phase so these really wont solve his problems if anything it would actually make them much WORSE. OP just needs to drop his humidity and make sure hes got good air flow over the drying buds.
Maybe where I live on the Appalachian highlands the RH/temp is never a big issue for me? They’ve always worked start to finish well like that. Although obviously burping.
Are you going from plant>wet trim>vault, without any drying time in between? or do you dry trim and then vault?
Ive always cut stalk, minor trim anything silly on them, hung dry for 10-12 days until the limbs lose pliability, final trim, stashed. Is there a better way to use them?
That's fine I personally don't have a hard and fast dry time because it varies with cola density. I do wet trim let them dry on the stalks for anywhere from 5-15 days and then clip them off the stalks and cure for at least 3 weeks in either large jars or vaults. I was concerned because you made it sound like you were trimming buds straight into vaults which would be extremely sub optimal. I do want to touch on the fact that I keep the space pitch black, cold, and lower humidity with fans keeping air moving across the buds.
