Hey,
I just finished up another harvest and have all my flowers hang drying. I never have a problem drying and can usually extend my drying time to 14 days before I put them in jars. I live in the desert and average humidity is about 30%. I have to run humidifiers in my drying room to keep the humidity at 60%. If I didnt use them my buds would dry out in 2 or 3 days.
I try to automate everything, veg room, flower room and drying room are all set up with enviromental controllers to keep temps and humidity perfect. However, I always seem to fuck up the curing. I have way too may jars to open and close to stay on top of. I'll forget I opened the jars to burp them and when I realize I come back and my buds are way too over dried (dry desert air will dry buds out fast). So I've looked around online and didnt really find any automatic curing systems.
So instead I'm going to try to build my own automatic curing system. I want to see if anyone on here has tried something similar or if you know of a product that already does this.
I'm planning on using a food grade 5 gallon bucket with a gamma lid to seal the buds airtight, .
I'll then install some 1 way air valves at the top of the bucket that will let humid air out but not allow dry air to reenter .
I'll then use a humidity controller that will measure the humidity level inside the bucket . I'll have a small air pump connected to the humidity controller that will pump dry air into the bottom of the bucket when the humidity level raises above 62% humidity.
In theory, this autocuring bucket should burp itself without me have to check on it. I want to cure my buds for 4 weeks without having to constantly be checking on them.
Do you think this will work for curing?

I made mine this year works great. Put in meters in the gama lids, Have it hooked up to a RH controller+timer to cycle the air pump. seems to be solid.Exactly what your talking about. I'm going to make some as well. S
Automatic burpers .. Derek Gliman setup is sweet and exactly what your looking for. ..There's a link for his which is made of air tight 5 gallon pails and another someone made from mason jars.
I will be making one this year too.
They rob terps . imoUmmm... Am I missing something? Boveda packs are cheap.
So you use nothing?They rob terps . imo

Sorry I missed this one and yes I use nothing! Put a hydrometer in the jar and burp till around 59 or so the seal her up - I started out using bovedas and they do work but I noticed all my bud tasting and smelling similar much happier with final product after I quit using themSo you use nothing?
Think I will try the same, have a 12 pack of hydrometers on order.Sorry I missed this one and yes I use nothing!

My opinion is that boveda works great when doing long term storage but the “loss of terps/off taste” usually comes from when bovedas are used dureing the cureing process.. use it to store, not cure.Sorry I missed this one and yes I use nothing!

2.5 weeks of?View attachment 1041009
Here’s a pic of my first gen auto burp. The timer, air pump, and empty protein powder ( food grade) canister I all ready had. I popped a cheap hygrometer into the top of the canister. It’s been steady at 61% for a couple days. 2.5 weeks to go.
