Use mason jars to cure or to raise the humidity. With grove bags you can't raise the humidity even with boveda packs in it.I may have overdried...13 days hanging in pretty ideal 60/60. Filled the grove bags 3 days ago and the humidity reads 52-58%. I put Boveda 62's in as well when I saw they were a bit dry. I've heard the % will rise given time, but it's still right where it was when I put it in. Any actions I could/should take?
Thanks. I know some folks prefer the boveda 58’s, so I wasn’t that far off with most of it.When I want to add a little moisture, I use those raw rehydrating medallions! Soaking distilled water and throw a couple into the Grove bag. And keep monitoring it. I favor just adding a little moisture at a time. It may take a week or two to raise it three or 4%. 58 isn’t bad. In lieu of the medallions. I think you can break up a terra-cotta pot. I don’t like throwing food in. Just two cents.
I didn't tried the 58's but got the 62's, they work good and bring the moisture to the level I prefer. 58 will be more crunchy.Thanks. I know some folks prefer the boveda 58’s, so I wasn’t that far off with most of it.
All I ment is if you want to raise the humidity you take a mason jar and use boveda packs with more %rh.I don't recommend using Grove bags for permanent or long-term storage. They're good for short-term curing, though. So, after drying, we cure for about six weeks in the Grove bags in a dark cabinet. Then we move the buds to Mason jars. The sealed jars don't raise or lower the humidity, but they do distribute it evenly.
Also, if you do use Mason jars, I recommend the wide-mouth type. Amber-colored glass is better than clear, as well, because it blocks out most light.
The bags aren’t ideal to use with the Boveda as the whole point of the bag is to shed the excess moisture (being put out by the pack) and you’re kinda fighting yourself. Bring in a sealed jar the only place for the moisture to go is into your buds. That said, terps lost during drying aren’t coming back by increasing the moisture level, so I wouldn’t stress if you’re in the mid 50s. (Realistically if you’re using jars you don’t have a ton of weed, so just smoke it up!I may have overdried...13 days hanging in pretty ideal 60/60.

How does this statement help this growers situation?This is one example of many reasons I'm exposing myself. I just tired of yall failing when you're doing everything 'perfectly.'
Drying is one of the things I don't teach because it'll help cultivation business.
I'd like to teach so I could put businesses preying on us by selling us gimmics...out of business.
If there was something I could sell to help yall dry/cure/age weed I'd sell it. There is nothing.
Don't trust businesses selling drying products, they don't even grow weed. Don't trust influencers who grow crappy weed but are semi successful because help is a phone call away.
There's a reason us OGs have nothing to sell but knowledge...but who pays for that right? If I created an only fans telling ALL the secrets from before seed to three year old aged weed, no one's going to sign up because they can learn for free all over the place.
Hopefully the grower learned how to slow dry then cure with those bags. I don't use them just jars.How does this statement help this growers situation?
What I do is take a small..ie SMALL..slice of soft tortillas shell and put it in the bag. 1/2” wide and about 2” long. That will fix it.
