Wood moisture meter, eh? Something else to buy, eh? I'm down. I like stuff
They are inexpensive. Tool section at Lowes has them.Wood moisture meter, eh? Something else to buy, eh? I'm down. I like stuff
lol.Wood moisture meter, eh? Something else to buy, eh? I'm down. I like stuff
lol.
me also, a guy can never have enough stuff.
what one did you order?! ! ! STUFF ! ! !
This onewhat one did you order?
i'm looking but the accuracy varies from .05 to 5%
zero research, lol.This one

I did zero research. It took 3 minutes from finding out I needed it to posting I ordered it.
It works well. Key is dry slow, sweat buds if necessary. You want an even dry through the bud. When that meter hits 10 - 12% stick the buds in the grove bag and heat seal closed.What? Guys on my post getting new goodies? That’s it!!!! I’m getting some too!For real tho, let me know how it works for ya.
Should work just fine for you.This one

I bought it at Lowes. It’s a general tools and instruments. It was like $40 and it works for me. It’s down in my room and it’s dark cycle right now so can’t go snap a pic. Are they 100% accurate? Nope but close enough. Keep the prong tips clean and use soft wood setting. It will be close enough. After doing this a few times you’ll learn what the bud feels like at that moisture level. The meter at that point is just confirmation it’s ready to seal the bags.what meter do you have eh?
i did some research after work today (and beers eh) and pretty much everyone says the cheap meters are extremely inaccurate.
anything under $300 Canadian dollars are considered garbage.
3 hun buys several 24's and bacon eh
awesome thanks.I bought it at Lowes. It’s a general tools and instruments. It was like $40 and it works for me. It’s down in my room and it’s dark cycle right now so can’t go snap a pic.

that would be a foolproof method but holy crap that must take forever if you have tons of buds.I don’t trust any meters but if you use a scale as a gauge the buds are ready to cure when they stop losing weight, anywhere from 5 to 15 days depending on bud, temp and humidityView attachment 1269352
I only weigh a couple cuts per plant, its my experience the buds dry uniformly, big and small alike. They’re still moist inside but its not water, its the oils that cure. Try it if you have a scale. Its a lot more scientific than branch snapping, paper bags and taco chips.that would be a foolproof method but holy crap that must take forever if you have tons of buds.
if they stop losing weight wouldn't that mean their dry,as in no moisture in them?
wouldn't that make them harsh to smoke?
just a newb so forgive my ignorance
If they are ok for jars they are ok for grove bags… just going by the science behind themHow do I know when the buds are at proper dry level accurately enough to use the bags?
I ordered some but they won't be to me in time for the cure. I'm using jars this time. But for the future, my question still stands
