Agree with ronnie ur last post in april shows 70% humidity in jars. How long are you burping for seconds? minutes? Switch to grove bags when you can. I wouldn't even use boveda's waste of money. Hygrometers are good.Buy a dehumidifier if your natural humidity swings a lot. Cooler the room the better. 62-65 degrees is optimal drying condition and set the dehumidifier on 60. Larger dense buds will take a week or more longer to dry. Once dried put in the jar with a hydrometer. If it shoots over 69% remove them and dry them for 2 or 3 more days. You want a constant 62% 60%-65% is fine.
So what I’m getting from this, I think I’ll try drying in my garage. It’s going to be the coolest place in my house. I’ll either have to make something to put the buds in to control the humidity because I don’t think can control the humidity of the whole garage
We are all guilty of it, speed drying that is. I've gotten to the point of 2 months dry/cure. Slow down and enjoy.

Im having trouble in my tent now.. i cant get it at 60/60.. and i cant afford a dehumidifier right now, i just put up 2 ladies to dry and i got stressed seeing the numbers today RH 48/51 temp 70-80, but i saw ut post, u think they will be fine?? Sorry to hijack the post alittle btw :/ im new in hereGarage will work. Take the Hygrometer you're using and stick it in your garage to monitor humidity and temp levels. Temps in the 80's with low humidity (40% ish) is a good environment for curing. The low humidity will help in drawing out the moisture without over drying the outer part. Kind of like a wick in water. Let the low humidity pull the moisture out rather than forcing it out.
If you can, pick up a dry net. Once you have the flowers off the stems they'll dry faster since they can't pull moisture from the stem but, again, low and slow. I usually keep them on the net in a temp/humidity controlled space until they get to a certain "doneness" then transfer to jars. I guess the best way to explain it is you want to pull the most moisture you can at the beginning without doing it to fast and then slowly drain out the rest of the moisture until you get to the desired cure level you want.
Thanks, my hope just came backDried recent harvest in my tent, the best I could do temperature-wise was 65-68F and humidity hovered between 45-55%RH. A week in the tent then trimmed all branches and filled mason jars. Burping twice daily, grassy aroma is being replaced by sweet earthy spicy terps. You'll get there!
I agree with 2bad. i use grove bags terp loc. i also have a moisture sensor and i dry until the buds say 10- 12% and then i put in grove bag. i dried in a room that was 60 degrees and 60 % RH let them cure for 2 months or longer. this is just my opinion.Agree with ronnie ur last post in april shows 70% humidity in jars.

I noticed a few of the smaller buds are actually getting really dry already, should i clip the smaller ones off and put in bags? I do have Grove Bags and used them on the last dry, worked greatI agree with 2bad. i use grove bags terp loc. i also have a moisture sensor and i dry until the buds say 10- 12% and then i put in grove bag. i dried in a room that was 60 degrees and 60 % RH let them cure for 2 months or longer. this is just my opinion.
Make sure the buds are fairly dry between 58 to 62% relative humidity before trying to cure. I opt for vaccum sealing my mason jars and using grove humidity cure bags. If dried bud are lower than 62%relative humidity I don't even burp the jars after the 1st week. The Grove bags don't have to be burped at all.The buds come out so nice.Ok so this is my 3rd time harvesting and I’m still trying to figure out the best ways to dry and cure. First time I put them on hangers in a dark attic space with a box fan on them. The 2nd time I used a triple thick cardboard box with a dehumidifier in it. Both times to cure I used mason jars with bovida bags and hygrometer. Both times they came out with that hay smell. They smoked good the second time but it wasn’t that nice weed smell to them
