Jar humidity when curing help please

[Moeboi]

I've started curing in jars they been in there about 4 days now just got a hygrometer yesterday first started out rising and had to lower humidity now its at a steady 63% ..just want to know what's the best range to keep them curing to know right humidity levels

My understanding is it depends what you're planning with it, ie are you smoking flowers or pressing rosin? Generally what I've read sits around 60-62 mark. If it's getting over that you would burp the jars and let it drop. Your hydro store will have cigar humidity regulator packs mine carries the 62% one as this is what they recommend. This will help keep the level stay at 62%. I have read folks say that if you go straight to the humidity packs you lose some terps but I haven't seen anything scientific evidence either way.

Dead on in my book. As I understand keep it around there and don't let drop past 50 far as I remember

I keep mine at 58-62. Just opened a jar out of the safe that was harvested in March. No one could tell the difference between it and the one I cured 2 months ago.

Your good, I throw 2 hydrometer in. I had a couple that were off a couple times and got the white fuz on 6 oz of GDP and Amnesia cross.

This may not be an issue for us much longer. This time for harvest, we are going to freeze dry some and see how it comes out.
Freeze dry also does a full cure in 24 to 36 hours without shrinkage or color change.
All you really need to freeze dry is dry ice and room in the freezer.

We all started somewhere. I've known about freeze drying for decades but seeing it applied to weed is new for me. I want to try it. I may not get the thing built this time, but I will eventually.
