As I understand it, the buds need to already be @ 58 -62 % relative humidity Before going in the bags !.
Hey @Shaded_One -
What do you think of those Grove bags?
Do I understand correctly - once you reach your desired level of initial dryness with the plants hanging, you can then trim the buds to your liking, toss them into these bags and no need to burp them like you would with a mason jar? No need for a Boveda pack?
What is the magical secret to these that they don't have to be burped to manage the humidity?
I'll be harvesting soon and am looking at my options.
Thanks for replying...
Yeah I was just on their site reading up on it.
I put together a build-your-own variety pack and had it in my cart, but bailed out when I saw shipping was $12.
I'm not a cheap bastard, but shipping me basically a handful of ZipLock bags via Ground, shouldn't be $12.
Anyway... here is their spiel on the how's and why's

The "no burping" is marketing hoopla
Once my buds reach that RH I don't need to Burp anymore, I simply store them vacuum sealed in mason jars.
I definitely can see where these bags would be a more compact storage system !
And the zipper would be much easier than removing a supply from a mason jar and having to vacuum seal it again
Cheers
Just about any air tight storage solution doesn't require "burping" after the buds are dried to 58 - 62%.You are incorrect. The "no burping" is not marketing hoopla.
If that was the case then why burp mason jars? :)Just about any air tight storage solution doesn't require "burping" after the buds are dried to 58 - 62%.
So their claim seems a little weak
BTW > thank you for offering an alternative option !
Cheers

Not trying to start arguments, but a glass jar and a resinous bag with two way vapor layers are not going to behave the same. Not an advocate or salesman for either method just a lazy bastard who prefers to get quality results with the least amount of work involved.
They definitely are also the less expensive option at that size !And 1 gallon mason jars are not cheap either. If you wait till canning season you’re lucky to even find any.
The normal/usual recommendation is hang the plant till it starts to feel crispy.
At this point your buds will likely be in the 70% range. THEN they are put in mason jars and burped daily until reaching your target rh.
Before using the grove bags you still need to dry down to 58-62% first...
They definitely are also the less expensive option at that size !
One gallon jar is ~ $20 compared to $6 for a half pound bag..
I pay ~$22 for a dozen 1L jars and stuff (OMG !) two ounces in each. 24 one ounce bags would be ~ $48.
So size does matter, he, he...

I threw some bud into some quarter pound grove bags last November. Stashed them away and haven’t looked at them since.I’ll go dig them out and see what condition it’s in. They were zipped not heat sealed so not expecting much. We’ll see.
Thank you, very interesting !The bags were stored in a tote to keep them in the dark but not airtight. My place only has wood heat so that stove is going from November to the middle of May nonstop. The humidity I would guess never gets much above 40% due to the drying effect of the woodstove. I would guess never gets much above 40% due to the drying effect of the woodstove. The three bags ranged from 45 to 50% according to my cheap hygrometers. Pretty dry. A half gallon mason jar about half full sealed at the same time read 64%. Probably about what it was when I put it in. The bags if heat sealed probably would have fared better if kept in an environment that was a little more humid. The oxidation didn’t look too bad , Probably about the same as the jar.
I can see that appeal. In fact I will probably get some ¼ and ½oz Grove bags for gifting flower to friends.... I personally like the bag appeal with the Grove Bags. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling cutting open a heat sealed bag of buds
