Everything depends on your environmental details. Very fine line on humidity control when storing finished buds in a stable environment. I find 55% at 65-68F is best when you have a finished harvest for curing.From what I understand
hang between 42 and 52 % relative humidity
and aim for a temperature of 17 to 19 Celsius
and give it a week to allow the stuff to dry out.
Into "the jar" burbing down to a stable 60%
Is there important anaerobic activity happening inside the jar ?
Is there magic happening inside the jar ?
Why can't I just hang it at 40 and ramp it up to a stable 60% over a couple weeks ?
Whatsa difference ?

LmaoYup,
Frickin' MAGIC!
Don’t forget about the jar ferry, he’s the one makin all the magic in the jar!Lmao
We are working up to the question “what goes on in the jar during storage” that is the magical question?Don’t store wet pot in jars. It turns to mold. Make sure it is ready to be sealed in jars and stashed away for long periods of time
Does the jar provide a "dutch oven" effect?
Is it pickling itself, amongst its own farts ?
Essentially, I am wondering if there are different processes happening in an open environment, as opposed to the enclosed environment of a jar?
( hang dry vs. "jar" cure)
Why dont/can't we hang cure ?
Just as a side tip/note for buckets for burping/curing :
Just make sure you use “ gamma seals” lids/food grade and food grade buckets if you decide on buckets cause cutting corners (using non food grade) will only make your bud Susceptible to contaminates and unwanted things . I think the price difference when you add the top and bucket ( being gamma seal/ food grade bucket is like 2-4 bucks more than non)
It’s def worth it on over doing jars , only suggestion is after burping (besides the stuff your smoking) I would vacuum-seal and a bag called dry mighty (benefit is your not damaging your stuff when you seal your bags and it seals long term cured )

Can you expand on that at all?I cure in heat sealed foodsaver bags. Seems like a decent way to go. Lightweight, food grade, and not very permeable.
