That would be bad for business if they rehydrate them self’s :D They probally thought about it then said”nah” lol:smoking:It does say something about them crystallizing and I also would swear I've seen something about bringing moisture back into them too, but, maybe I'm wrong. That's happened before.
Really glad that I only put in a tiny fraction to compareHey,so I just found this thread because I decided to try bovada 62%...basically because I didn't have access to try 58%. I am new here,so I apoligize if I don't have the protocol down.
This is my 8th grow, 2nd where I felt like I am starting to get the feel for it.
I grew outdoors white widow and guerrilla Glue #4 in Maine. I actually finished the GG4 inside the last 3 weeks.
Anyway I liked the idea,but sceptical, so I decided to use the 67gr in 1/2 gallon jars and 8gr in 1/2 pint jars. I dried my plants whole,hung in the cool, dark basement on average at 60% rh and I then put them in Mason jars and burped daily for a week or two. Then I found the Boveda at a local shop. I'm glad I just stuck a toe in to see how the water was. IMHO 62% is too high, but I suspect it is irrelevant to the destruction of the terps,and with the GG4 which STANK, within 2 hours you could barely smell it in the bud, but the stupid Boveda pack smelled marvelous.
Maybe I am just an old head, but I grow for myself because I want organic, mold free and delicious smoke.Seems like there's a lot of strong, pretty cannabis out there, but it mostly tastes like @$$ and I think the last time I tasted truly delicious skunkweed was at a Dead show in 1986.Until I started growing my own, not to say I didn't taste good bud, but not that penultimate skunky, pine taste. I am grateful to have only used an 8gr in a half pint on the GG4.
With the white widow, which was also a sweet tastiness, kinda citrusy, after a 67gr in a 1/2 gallon jar for 48hours, it definitely made it look prettier, fuller and greener. Unfortunately the taste made me give the local deer a big jar of formerly tasty smoke.
I feel it's a labor of love and a living thing. What I mean is, it's only awesome for so long and I want to do my best, but a lot of the tech, from plant growth regulators to Boveda takes more away than it brings.
Wait..67gram in a half gallon? I use an 8 gram 62 in each qt jar and have neve had any issues.Hey,so I just found this thread because I decided to try bovada 62%...basically because I didn't have access to try 58%. I am new here,so I apoligize if I don't have the protocol down.

Damn..Now I wanna go and buy the attachment for my Foodsaver..LOL I like the stored wed moister ( I am in the Nevada High Desert) since It presses better for Rosin.I use 8g 58% in quart mason jars and vacuum seal them with a little portable Food Saver pump and mason jar attachment. My buds taste like the day I canned them a year earlier. The Boveta absorbs some smell but took nothing away from the flowers. I don't know about 62%, never used them. Seemed too moist for long term storage. I think the vacuum sealing of the jars is the key to making the Boveta work the best.
Just emptied over a QP of Orange Creamsicle out of quart mason jars to make room for the new OC. It was perfection. The friend I gave it to thought it was from this years harvest until I told him otherwise. He was amazed.
Will be ordering enough for 7lbs+ I'm canning this year.

I'm using a 4 gram of 58% pack per 4 ozs. no preblems here
So I’ve researched these a little more since my last post. I’m still on the fence about them but I am using the 62% for this cure. They are in the lid this time and not touching the buds. The 62% was intentionally made with cannabis curing in mind. However, they shouldn’t be used until you’re done with burping daily. It takes about 3 days for the packs to regulate the humidity to the 62% they claim. So, if you’re still burping daily the packs are doing nothing for you. After the first week or two, then throw a pack in. Around the time you’re only opening the jar once a week.
That seems to be the consensus. Most people who vacuum seal their jars say they like it the best. I guess I’m going to have to breakdown and buy a food saver with the mason jar attachment. Ooo, Christmas is coming up:DI lay them on top (basically the same as you) then vacuum the jars. I only put the Boveta backs in as a deterrent to moisture if the seals leak not as the primary moisture regulators. With them vacuumed there's very little air for the pack to exchange.
