Brovida packs?

Broveda humidity packs. after your done line/net/paper bag drying (what ever method you choose) and your meds are in their jars, continue burping your jars until you get to 50-55% rh (stable). do NOT let it fall below 50% rh (it will be too dried out). then after you've reached a stable rh level (50-55), then toss in your 62% humidity packs. this helps maintain a stable r/h level and keeps your medicine fresh. I cure in 1/2 gallon wide mouth mason jars. I only put 1 medium sized pack in each jar, some put 2 packs. my next harvest, ill try the 2 pack route and see if theres a difference.

I love the trimming! Did some last night.. now what in hell am I going to do for 8 weeks! Looks like an excellent method here.

Hey rumple, nice guide. I just got done drying with this method this time around and I think it helped even things out a bit, especially since i've had some low humidity lately. Tonight my harvest will be dry enough to weigh and then its into gallon ball jars and cured with a hygrometer via simon's method. This will also be my first time using boveda packs to keep jars at 62% long term without the need for bumping after perhaps the first week in jars. I hope this will get that top notch cure i'm looking for.

Thank you, hope it comes out great.
Rumple, I just spent some time reading through this thread. Thank you very much for all the time and effort you have provided to this community. Sorry about the TROLL,seems to come with the territory.I'm a novice grower,having just completed my first grow. We pretty much used the same method of drying and curing that you do. Sure made me feel more confident after reading this terrific thread. Our grow turned out pretty well considering our lack of experience.
Just a quick question:the troll claims that jarring and curing are two different things. Does the curing process begin once the burping has been discontinued and the jars are left unopened for a good period of time? I have bud curing now for over two months and the few times I need to open the mason jar to replenish my stash jar the smells just jump out at you. My bud smells and tastes much better than the outdoor grown appearance of the buds. We did something right.
thanks again.

I wish you lived next door to me. I would have you over for dinner and a trim, three or four times a year.
@Rumple, whats your secret to so much yield from a single plant? I'm thinking it must be the CO2. I use good genetics with a 400 watt HID and the largest plants I've grown were 5 ft tall sativa's, shackzilla from sannies to be exact. The total dry weight was about 2 ounces per plant. One was topped and one was not. The one that was topped had smaller cola's, which was expected, and the untopped plant had her one giant cola. Both had lots of side branches. Still they both maxed out at about 2 ounches dried. The thing that's crazy about your single plant grow was that even though she had appeared to be topped she still had big colas, and lots of them. Is it the CO2, does it make that much of a difference?

I like the tutorial on harvesting and curing. I stopped using the brown paper bag method because I found that it dried out the weed to quickly. Drying the pot out to quickly kills the curing process. After I dry the bud I will just pop it in my mason jar with a cure cap to make sure the humidity in the jar stays under 60%.

i must say the boveda 62 packs are the bomb.. i use them religiously now.. in the past i always had issue's with my cure,not around to burp or not dry enough or to dry,, then come them good ol boveda 62%. they come in many different packs but i like the 62's.. i put a single pack in a quart mason jar and store them in the safe.. no need to worry them boveda's will take care of any excess moisture or it will add it back in.. got a sack from a "friend" lol. and it was very nice looking grand daddy purple but was almost dust.lol i put it in a small jar and with in a week it was back to perfection.. called my buddy over and showed him the sack he pawned off to me and he tried to get it back,so i sold it to him for the price of a ten pack of boveda's lmao.. very cheap and very easy to use.. i am in no way affiliated with them just a very happy customer....
