Boveda seem to be the most common . not my opinion, just what i picked up from a quick search , try typing in humidity packs and reading a few of the threads there in, its a great feature and saves you having to ask, you can then post a poll thread with the differant ones and see how the poll turns out and its a bit of interest for others who may want to know

I have some Boost 62% packs that I used in a few jars I just harvested (rest are fine)...I overdried down to 50% and for the past 4 days they did jack shit to raise the humidity at all. Last night I tossed a thick portion off the base of a piece or lettuce in...maybe 1 in square. Humidity back up to 60% so I took the lettuce out this morning before I left the house.
Boveda packs should arrive this week

I was going to make my own and started a thread a few months ago, but never got around. Boveda is great. I've been using them for about 5 years now. I take 20 of the 62% 67 gram packs and throw them all into a bucket to do a QP at a time. It usually takes around 3 or 4 days. The more packs the faster. Just don't split them up and then put them into the same container afterwards because they start to fight each other.

They will last indefinitely if you don't let them dry out. After use, put them in a sealed container with a cup of water to rehydrate.

I've noticed that a lot of vet growers have a distrust for them. They are like the LEDs of curing.

Lol. I agree.
I think alot of people think they are a magic cure that can fix bad weed. Have you seen the new ones now? They say 'terpene sheild' lol. Marketing to counter the propaganda that boveda packs rob taste.

Yes jjgrow. Your not anything close to a new hahahaa
Why would anyone use them. Seriously if you do your shit right, there is no need for them. Trim your branches up nicely, then hang them up and let them slowly dry until they hit 3 or 4 RH% points above your storage mark, then do your final trim before jarring them up, and then after 24 hours, beginning burping them for 15 to 30 minutes every 24 hours until they hit your storage RH% (which usually takes 12 to 16 days), then store them in a cool dark place, until you need a jar!

If you hang the buds up. The THC will go down the bud an drop to the floor. So you'd need to put like a buncha wax paper underneath to scoop up the remainder THC content for later

I'm doing the same thing up until the final trim, then I just throw the buds into a bucket and leave it alone for a few days. Plus you can put the packs in the final storage containers and they'll come out at 62% no matter how long they've been tucked away.
I used to think they affected the terps if the packs were left in with the buds, but that's not true. The smell is loud as soon as I take the lid off.
