Please help! 52% RH starting cure

[kin88]

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]

Yes 62

 

[ajpapenfuss]

No difference

 

[kin88]

No difference

Appreciated growmie. I will have it in any case :)

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.

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!
