Please help! 52% RH starting cure

kin88 · Feb 28, 2025

Hey guys,

I assume that my conditions were not the best, and my plants dried around 18°C and 55%. Starting the cure but humidity is just 52%.
What can I do? I will get boveda, but just on Monday.

I have some boveda, but just 58%. Is it worthy to put those(I know that I should use it to bring down the humidity, not to rise?).

Thank you for your help guys

If you have another plant growing, take a few leaves off of it. Put it in your jar n it should bring up your humidity then take them out once you get to You're desired humidity you prefer

This will probably be an unpopular opinion, but I think you're pretty much right on target. for going into cure. How long did you let it dry, and have you jarred it yet?

I'd throw a hygrometer in my jar and watch it for a couple hours. If the humidity starts to climb I'd throw the packet in there to try and help cap the humidity below 65%. Otherwise I'd just go with a slower cure, minimum of a 1.5-2 months, to let the moisture in the center work it's way back out.

I use boveda packs. 62% rh. You could use orange peels in the jar to raise it some. I've used bread before. But it only raised it a few %. Leaves should do good if u have any.

I let it dry for 11days. At 17°C and RH between 50% and 65%. 1,5-2 months is too long to wait bro especially as it is my 1st grow :) anyway, I will leave soon for 1month and when I came back, they will have time to cure.
Appreciate your help

I have, just the 58%...probably will order the 62% as well, but I would like to avoid boveda at least for the first 3 months. I heard different opinions about it.

You always used it? Did you see the difference in question of taste?

ajpapenfuss · Feb 28, 2025

Yes 62

ajpapenfuss · Feb 28, 2025

No difference

Oh man, we've all been there! Some day you'll have the luxury of smoking on something from last season while you're waiting for this season to cure. Then you'll really see the difference.

I second the idea about Boveda. Whenever I've used them, I didn't notice a difference in taste. I think it deadens the smell a bit, but then you rip open a bud and it all comes out again. One I Didn't really like wass Boost, they didn't seem to work. Maybe it was user error but the Boveda ones just did what I expected without any fuss, so they won in my mind.

kin88 · Feb 28, 2025

Looking forward for that man! But as it is the 1st one, you know the rest :)

Thank you for your opinion about boveda. Monday I will have it!
