So you’re saying no burp? Just hang dry til dry and leave sealed in jar with boveda? Did it even the moisture quicker?Bovedas vs. Burped Jars:
For the last few years I've slow-cured with large jars, burping over 2-3 months. Worked, but was a bit tedious. On a large outdoor plant from this summer, I cured two 1-gallon jars with traditional burping, and two 1-gallon jars with 58% Boveda packs.
So far, I can't really tell a difference. The Boveda-cured buds look and smell just like the burped-jar buds, and initial taste tests seem the same. I think I'm going to cure with Bovedas from now on. Really made it a lot easier.
I had read that some people feel Boveda's suck some of the smell out, but I wasn't able to tell any difference.
I am about to try curing in Turkey bags (currently running out of jars). Can anyone suggest a decent place to buy some? They are all over the place price and size wise from what I see. I would need to cure about 4-8 ounces per strain with Bovedas (They have worked great for me with zero smell, problems etc.)
Good deal..Thanks..Local grocery store. They are cheaper than buying online IME. The Reynolds brand works good and is what most places stock. I don’t think there’s a huge difference between brands.
Not quite sure what your doing wrong with the bovita s. I’ve never had a problem with em. These been in here going on 4 months. I burp every week. Stinks up the hole house and keeps getting better ever week. 3 different strains. Pounders in there. Been using em for years.If I dont burp the smell won't develop. I've ran that experiment. Unburped still tastes like dirt, sugar, moss, never developed the detailed strain flavors,regardless of moisture content. Not sure how moisture replaces oxygen in the active curing process? Curing Cannabis is not the same as preserving tobacco, there's a lot going on and it requires periodic oxygen exposure. Burping is not about moisture content.. Not in my case at least. Even though the process is gradual, drying and curing are distinct events.
Whatever Boveda is doing it isn't curing. Same with freezer preservation. Maybe if you grow oilless sugarless fatless hydro, low Brix with no secondary metabolites, you can pretend preservation is curing, but it's not. Organic buds need oxygen to cure, period. Its a chemical process.
I get these at Safeway grocery stores. Work great!Good deal..Thanks..
I went to the Dollar store and bought some..3 for a buck..LOL Cheaper than Mason Jars!!

Yeah I like using bpa free food containers. They’re not air tight either. They slowly purge moisture I put it in food containers with mini hygrometer now.Actually the concept of drying and curing cannabis is almost identical to that of tobacco and although I agree that oxygen plays a role there's plenty of it to go around in a turkey bag (which is not airtight) allowing for the bud to cure just fine.
Same here and I got free samples of the Integra. I went straight back to Boveda 62's!Boveda ftw i tried integra boost didnt like them at all :)
