Nice Terps on that NuG..I tried this grove bags with my last harvest. My conclusion was its easy for long term storage. You put your weed in, store it somewhere and forget it. Well you cant forget it to 100% because it smells, even sealed with an iron. So if smell is an issue, the jars own the grove bags 100%
The jars with the bovedas i use to open once in a while, which ofc interupts the ripening process for some time, which is the only negative side of the jars for me. Yes they do need more place as the bags but thats not an issue for me.
So with my actual harvest i used the small grove bags(3.5g and 7.5g) to put some nice buds in it. Thats what i plan to smoke last. Like 25% of the harvest are in grove bags for the long term storage and the rest i keep accessable in glas jars with bovedas 62%. My smoking jars, which i refill once a week got 55% bovedas.
This is some Screwdriver OG, 5 Months in Grove Bags. Was my last bag of previous harvest i opened. Smell was intense and strong, the buds could be easily handled with your fingers, while crumbling it down with your fingers it left an oily film on your fingertips. Just perfectly cured, i have to admit that.

My advice is to try both. You can spend 10$ on each and try it out. See what is working better for you.
Probably over dried them, happens. Same happened to me on my first bagging but after 3 days it settled on it's own to 58, and a week later to 60. Now the last bagging's, diffrent story, they stayed low to mid 50's and one dropped to 45..yikes. I reluctantly had to drop in some Boveda 62% Two-Way Humidity Control Packs in the bags and that brought everything back up to a more comfortable level. These grove bags on their own will not add humidity like the two way packs do. If you don't have the Boveda packs some swear by a piece of tortilla, I've never tried that so your on your own if you want to. What I've used (in mason jars) is a damp paper towel (not wet, damp) inside a sandwich bag not fully sealed and that does the trick to add some humidity. You don't want the damp paper napkin touching your buds and don't use tap water. (Bottled water is good)I have some dried buds in grove bag for 6 days now with a small humidistat. RH is holding kind of low at 52%. Open the bag and blow into it and goes up to 60% but eventually drops to 52%.
Does the room environment have to be a certain RH to keep the bag interior at 58%?
I have the bags in a cabinet to keep them in the dark (window type).
I have a big 62 Boveda and threw it in the bag at least until I get the small 8 gram packets.Probably over dried them, happens.

All preferences, it's said the ideal smoke is at 58%. I like to keep it slightly higher so that but the time it gets to the users hands I'm hoping it's close to that 58%. I could be full it but that's why I use the 62%
these bags or any type like them are just junk..I'm on my 5th cure with them now. They do what they say they do! Big trick is putting buds into the bag at the correct moisture level. Suggust trying the "moisture meter" to determine correct moisture level and with that I've had great results.
How do you shelf display a 50 pound bag that they make ?these bags or any type like them are just junk..
these bags were created for one reason and one reason only..
shelf display..
those were an after thought..How do you shelf display a 50 pound bag that they make ?
JUNK? Pretty strong term. Could not disagree more from my personal experiences curing in them. 5 perfect cures so far.these bags or any type like them are just junk..
these bags were created for one reason and one reason only..
shelf display..
Working for me, as advertised. Did you have a bad experience with a bag?those were an after thought..
it’s a business to make money..those were an after thought..
ya so what they are junk have to be careful handling them as stuff could fall on them or stepped on or this or that, than they start to degrade…. just a complete waste of time and money..I've read several hundred threads elsewhere (actually over 2000 posts) that say differently after each posters actual experiences.
