Boveda Humitidit-pac

[dedodd]

I ran across a thread talking about these humitidity packs that you can put inside your curing container, mine is 5 1qt jars with tight sealing lids. I would like to know I am supposed to put the packs inside the jars at the time I start the curing process or wait some length of time for the herb to pre-cure? Also do you still need to burp the jars as usual or or these packs a stick and forget?

I would like to hear some of the good stories and of course the bad ones, sometimes they are the best!

I have used the humidipaks after curing to around 60-63% to keep them at 62% I wouldn't depend on them to help you get to where you want to be humidity wise but where you want to stay.

I use them and you have to get the humidity down to a stable 65%, then throw the paks in.

The second thread is excellent, shows you various ways to bring humidity down into the cure zone & how to measure it. Works great. Once I get the RH down below 70%, I start using the Boveda packs just to make sure I don't over dry.
