Hello, I recently harvested a small auto that was severely stunted as a seedling. I almost tossed it but now I’m glad I didn’t.
I hung the entire plant with most of the fans still on….although the leaf to calyx ratio was insanely low….very very few leaves.
The best I could muster for conditions was 70f and a RH of 60%. After roughly 8 days I was afraid to let it go any longer as it was getting brittle in places.
I trimmed it up and jarred it. What it lacks in quantity it more than makes up for in quality. Strain is Gelato and it was sticky and loud….great terps.
After 24 hrs in the jar the hygrometer reads 57%…..I guess I should have jarred it a bit earlier.
From what I’ve read the buds can still cure as long as it’s above 55%…..and I trust this hygrometer as being accurate.
What do I do next ??
I know to burp and gradually bring the number down if it’s 66%….or anything higher than the ideal smoking range.
But this bud is already right at, or below, where I like it.
I know I can rehydrate and make the smoke a bit more moist…..but I’m talking about the actual curing…..bringing out the insane smell and optimal flavor.
So do I burp or leave it alone for a period of time.???
