hi guys, i have a problem with flower storage.
unfortunately I made a mistake in the drying of this strain and the result is the buds are too dry ... (14% humidity)
Do you know any effective method to bring the humidity back to the right values without creating mold?
I am trying Boveda sachets at 62% humidity, a 67g bag for 1kg of inflorescence.

You can toss a flour tortilla in with the buds and buds will absorb the moisture without issue.

Whats the humidity outside the jar?

Try taping a wet paper towel to the lid.

I did this on my very first grow about 10 years ago, but I don't remember if it worked lol

I've heard orange or lemon peels work too

Around 60%, in the dark, ventilated room and temperature kept at 23°c

Thats perfect. Dump the buds out and let the cure outside the jar. Tomorrow they should be back to perfect moisture.

As the saying goes (paraphrasing) once the RH drops below the curing range you can re-hydrate but not restart curing process so you just end up with wet weed.

Most of mine in jars are 54 to 56 tops (mostly below) thought I went a bit dry but smells good & doesn't seem really dry to the touch.

If you steam the pack appears fresh again for about three days. It's soft and rolls up nice. And it has a sticky texture. And the smell comes back. But it's temporary. It's how you keep a dry pack from turning to dust in transit. And refresh a pic so people consider it again. I've said too muc.......(gasp)
