Grove Bags Yes? No? Why?

I just got one, and it has a wall setting, paper setting, then the wood setting has 4 categories of wood.. I'm not sure which wood setting to pick. A.) Teak, afromosia, walnut, cork, imbuia B.) White poplar, keruing, beech, tola C.) lauana, ash, elm, fir, maple, padauk, oak D.) Basswood, larch, pine, birch..... if anyone has any suggestions on which to test my bud on. And when testing it, do I put it into the bud or the stem of the bud? Just a lost soul looking for guidance... lol

D - which are the softest wood types

You test the bud, not stem of the bud or any other stems.

Any of you guys needing or wanting more Cvaults?
I have several used which I have not cleaned and have a thin film of resin inside. They're the big size, about the size of a basketball but it's been so long I forgot the exact volume. Looks like the size in smokedareefer's pic.
I've been thinking about trying to clean them up and sell on ebay or maybe the classifieds here.
Let me know if you want them and I'll let them go for cheap but shipping might be a little pricey

hey dm me maybe we can work something out

Did you heat seal those? And If you did, how? I've never done it before. Mine been curing couple weeks, but maybe it's not too late to heat seal them? For a couple more weeks, you think it would still be worth doing?

You have a food saver machine? You can also use a clothes iron. You can also order a bag sealer off of Amazon.

I didn't last year, and did this year, not a big difference. I used a flat iron to seal mine.

With all the talk about rh in the bags or jars etc during cure being 58 - 62% I was curious what my moisture meter reads after curing. I tested some buds that have cured 58 days thus far. When I heat sealed the bag on day 1 they were 10.6%. Today they are 10.2% so there you go if anyone was curious about that. I did break the heat seal on day 36 to grab some stash. I have been in that bag once or twice more since. So the loss of .4% of moisture is explainable but more importantly negligible.

For me the only time I am worried about rh is when I am drying. My target for drying is 60/60. Once dry to 10 - 12% moisture in to the bags they go to cure. Rh is relative to the temp as we all know. I believe moisture content to be the more reliable metric to monitor for a good cure.
