I think he is on about the bacteria needing a fresh supply of oxygen every now and then
To burp or not to burp during curing

What your trying to achieve is the ideal breeding ground for the aerobic bacteria to feed on, burping is necessary to a point( very early on) but you then should keep jars closed for as long as you can as that little bit moisture is what you want to keep within the jars.

I'm just going to throw this out there for everybody....... But a proper cure cannot be obtained without burping your jars/buckets etc. It's a good idea to roll them around once in a while too for an even cure.

I woopsed and didnt burb for 3 months on a jar. It was like opening a can of nucleur biscuits ::

By definition, Anaerobic processes are fueled by the absence of oxygen so what you are saying doesnt really make sense.

Ya I realize that, it was more to make a point that burping is needed. Air exchange rather to remove chlorophyll. Good eye, I don't mind getting called out if I post something wrong.

If you are reading the air rh in a jar you are reading the equilibrium point and not the bud moisture content which will be around %10 - %15 when fully dry.

Anyone use Boveda 62% packs to maintain RH?
Was thinking of trying these on my next crop.

I took a look at your posts and they are quite interesting and I'm gonna try that method to see the difference. I have a problem I think: I harvested my plants 2 months ago or so,humg them to dry @26°C and 55%RH for 5/6 days and then jarred. After 24hrs I had readings that went from 55 to 58% RH,so I let them cure for 1 and 1/2 months but I think the buds are still too moist. They don't burn that well,the stems still don't snaps right away,they still have some flexibility and when I grind them,they lump a bit. The taste is not even that good either. What I don't understand is how my hygrometers read a optimal RH inside the jars but in reality they still feel moist.
BTW: I burped them at max 3-4 times during these 2 months and no mold whatsoever...this intrigues me.

Why are you and others even trying to read jar humidity in the first place.

Your comment is totally inappropriated. Mine is a hobby,like it is for a lot of people here I suppose. And this is also the place to share and ask opinions. Said that,your answer doesn't help spreading your thesis,even though it definetely has some interesting points.Why are you and others even trying to read jar humidity in the first place.

Answering your statement: well like a lot of guys here,I think watching for humidity inside the jars,can tell me if the material is still too wet,too dry or if it is in the "curing" zone. That's why I expected from you a more in depth answer. And I still appreciate it.

After reading his thread I now try and dry as slow as possible and jar after 12-14 days. I’m usually comfortable jarring in that range.
I will still burp just once a day for a good minute for first 3 days.... helps with my paranoia.
The only reason people are having to check RH is because the buds are going in way too wet!
Let the bud equalize and jar without worries
Thanks Kingro... your a bit of a douche but that’s what makes you special

Why would your bud be wet or release moisture when jarred - i explained fully how to dry and how to know when its dry, you havent listened and jarred before this point (newbie error).
Your coming at me like these simple points dont exist. Dried bud dosent release moisture or mold when jarred so ehat you on about dude

Never said that those points don't exist. I think though that there's far more science into your way to go for drying then any other process I came up to.Why would your bud be wet or release moisture when jarred - i explained fully how to dry and how to know when its dry, you havent listened and jarred before this point (newbie error).

What do you think of the paper bag method? If I'm not missing anything when the buds are inside the bag,they are still drying but they release their moisture more slowly. Is this process going to mess with the equalization process?
