Boveda makes 58packslol. Sorry. It’s for moist flower. Moist doesn’t sound too good. 58% for dry flower it says.

I'm going to just call you Richard.lol. Sorry. It’s for moist flower. Moist doesn’t sound too good. 58% for dry flower it says.
62% is mold cultivating territory. It is not a safe storage humidity at all.
Drying is an art because all the buds are different. You have to dry by feel and smell or you can’t be sure. 58% would be a safe humidity for mold. Under 60%.
Sample #1. 100 gms of bud at 62% from a vault.Numbers are science!
I have 100 grams sitting out that was pulled at 62% to dry out to do some dry sifting. It should be dry enough to crumble in the morning.
That's not the way the math works. 100-97= 3. 3/100= 3%Sample #1. 100 gms of bud at 62% from a vault.
Dried at 80 degrees
97 gms dry
100 ÷ 97 = 1.03
Highest acceptable moisture reading in nevada is 15%......
That sample passed.
Sample #2.
28 gms weighed @ 62%
Dried at 80 degrees
27.2 gms dry
38 ÷ 27.2 = 1.03
It does but you are using 2 different calculations. 1 moisture content of the bud and 2 moisture content in the air relative to temperature.I'm confused. I thought that putting herb in a sealed jar would eventually equalize the internal moisture content of the flower with the ambient humidity in the jar, so a hygrometer in the jar would tell you the moisture content of the flower as well? If not then it's really just a guessing game unless you want to do maths. More art than science?

So moisture content is always the same relative humidity changes based on temp with the same moisture content.
Eg say a room has 1 cup of water in the air... you raise the temperature and the RH will change but the moisture content stays the same. By raising the temperature the humidity will go down because warmer air holds more moisture so the saturation point rises and this means the 1 cup of water is not only say 40% of the saturation point. Then lower the temos and because colder air holds less water it becomes 60% of the saturation point.
All when the moisture content has stayed the same.
U a weatherman on the side? Lol u just described how the dew point works as as wellIt does but you are using 2 different calculations. 1 moisture content of the bud and 2 moisture content in the air relative to temperature.

Yes 100% as can be seen in the moisture meters. They are a best guess based on density. The best way is to weigh when 100% then dry completely and weigh again. That's just not very feasible in cannabis yet. So we rely on best guess technology. I would also agree to an earlier point that an experienced person can likely be as or more accurate than almost any method we use as home growers.agreed. And also different plant matter dries or holds moisture differently from density and structure. Also how wet the weed was when started drying. That is also a variable.
Haha yes that's exactly right. This is why temp is a fine balance.U a weatherman on the side? Lol u just described how the dew point works as as well

38 ÷ 27.2 = 1.03 x 100 = 103That's not the way the math works. 100-97= 3. 3/100= 3%
Missed my point. Im in montana.I have no doubt it was dry at 80 degrees in Nevada. Shame you have it dry so fast. I am not the drying police. Lol. I just saw something I knew wasn’t right. And I have seen a lot of moldy bud out here. So I’m mold paranoid. I am highly allergic.
