Grove Bags Yes? No? Why?

[Aqua Man]

Set meters to soft wood and 10-12% sounds about right to cure as it generally stops around that point due to lack of moisture. I find the meters to read a bit low so my impression is buds are slightly higher like 14% in actuality when the meters are reading 10-12%

Always pay attention the first few days no matter what you cure in. Many do not have an even dry and as the moisture comes out they can moisten up significantly.

Of you dont have optimal drying conditions and time then the last paragraph is for you

So in summing up, those who did parallel cures and have used Grove bags for several months say yay?

Grove for the win

Hoorah! I better get some for my next grow :)

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

This is an ACTUAL SCIENTIFIC METHOD and requires -0- additional cash outlay. The secret sauce is hidden in plain sight on the left hand side -- the obligatory brown paper bag and judging by looks has been used by its owner many times. I bought 2 1 pound sacs and after having sweated my current crop 8-14 days in the bags they will go in their new grove bag homes. What is also interesting here @Madbud includes a map with the grow JIC the weed gets lost. Thoughtful touch. Wave of the future just like Ziplock bags took over for Glad bags (remember them?)

Yep, and still use glad bags too. Just now for my medicine, lol.

I just did a 4-week A/B test Grove bags / jars and the RH tracked perfectly. The bags may have a slight tendency to compress the buds, but my grows are so loose anything would smush these buds.

That's fabulous news, thank you!

My moisture meter showed up today. Just in time because the buds are reading anywhere from 9.4 to 11.3.

Jar time since I don't have the bags yet

Hey guys random but I was going to order half pound bags but for some reason the grovebag website was telling me I can't place the order due to not having permissions .. I figured maybe I need to log in but nope nothing worked ,huh ...

So I got some from amazon that were overpriced. Is it possible that their fakes ?
They look the same but there are two big windows on the front, I havent seen those on their website . Asking you guys if you ever recieved simillar looking from grovebag website itself .
thanks

That’s a real grove bag. If you heat seal do it above the two white lines. When you are ready to remove some later on cut along that first white line, then you can heat seal again. After you cut along that second white you are pretty much left to use the bags zip lock. The zip lock works well but heal seal works better.

All mine have clear window and I get them direct from grove. You can also get solid bags with no window.

Ok yeah I used them before but never heat sealed them just asked cause I ordered a variety of sizes last year and haven't seen one like this with the logo and 3 viewing windows .. just wanted to be sure.. thanks freezeland and neueregel cheers

I have noticed grove changes the look up from time to time. I have some older ones with a single white line, no white lines etc.

 

[ninjadip]

I vote yes, get the grove bags. Great stuff. I have two big 1lb bags. That's a lot of jar saving
