Just did as you said and tried breaking a bud open. It's not really dry. It's also not super sticky. Mostly dry on outside I think. The hygrometers are correct. I have 6 of them and a more precise bigger one that I used throughout the drying process and they all read the same. The rh here is 35%. The jars are measuring 45-47% after 12 hours curing. I harvested right when the small branch snapped and outside of buds felt dry, but squishy inside. As we were trimming, the buds felt sticky.
Man. Bummer :(
Well, too late for that now. Do you think I should add the Boveda 62% packets now, or just wait and see if moisture comes up? I was going to wait until week 2 to add the packets to avoid altering the taste as some people have said happens with those.
Guess I fucked up then.
Is there anything I can do? How about adding Boveda 62% packets? Or anything else?
Ball mason jars. I just expected the humidity to rise in the jars and so far nothing after 12 hours in there. You think I should stick the packets in there and risk bad flavor or wait another 12 hours and see what happens?
In my experience the boveda packs do NOT change the taste or flavor of the buds.
That's what I think I'll do. Give it 48 hours to see if it creeps up and then if not, in go the Boveda packets. Thank you everyone!
I've tried them, they make my buds Nasty smelling and taste funky I will never use them again, the ones without packs smell and tasted great.
K. I'm going to put a small square of damp gauze at top of jar and tape so it doesn't fall down or touch buds. See how it goes. Thanks for this.
If your buds turned out nasty smelling after using these, specifically the 62 percent ones than you had another issue besides the packs. Been using them for years and I have never had a single issue with them.
Okay, So the small square of gauze taped up to lid of jar is working! It's now at 53%. Thank you!
