Your mileage might have varied if, a blind test was conducted
IMO, Boveda is not meant to do our job of properly drying and curing. Boveda is at it's best when used for long term storage of properly dried and cured bud. Same as the way cigar aficionados use it.
That's my point. It's not the boveda. There's something else going on.
A sour or vinegary flavor is bacterial. There's enough moisture for bacteria but not for mold or rot. There may be no visible evidence.
Patience is a virtue. It is not the destination its a journey! Boveda is there to bring down (slightly, read slightly moist) not re-humidify it. It will keep the jar @ 62% keeping things in balance. e.g currently it is winter here. Humidity is at 23% (common). When you open a jar, ambient air enters said jar. There is no doubt in this mind anyway, that the hygrometer will read lower than 62, by a % or 2 and be at 62% the following day.What do ya think about
Maybe dried quick and rehydrated with boveda?
Cud cause the weird smells or taste
Most growers these days have a flexible reality. Placebo effect rules their daily lives, not reality. Broveda ruins flavor and it's very obvious to real humans with a firm reality.
I see the junk recommended so much, like, damn how can you think it's an improvement or remotely necessary.. Does anyone understand dank anymore? In my experience it turned a delicious UK Cheese into some tasteless vinegary smelling airy poop overnight.
I thought it was just dispensaries growing bullshit these days but looking online it seems everyone has lost the concept of loud sticky delicious dank. Moisture content for a slow burn has become more important than resin content.
Same people who keep their bud with broveda packs use Terpenez for that fake e-cig scent and call it an improvement rather than a ruined tainted harvest. Really shows what kind of garbage they are growing.
Sorry but your growing some really bad product if you use Broveda. Probably hydroponic and pretending moisture content is resin content. They even sell these stupid moisture packs at dispensaries now and people claim it turns dry tasteless unflushed crumble weed into loud sticky dank. Flexible reality of placebo people. Pretty scary honestly. Its ruined quality standards in the southwest.
I've had vac bags ruin buds. Not completely, but funky just the same.
I know things to store individual servings of snacks exist like https://www.amazon.com/Sealable-Aluminum-Storage-Notches-3-1x4-7inch/dp/B06WVMLS1CDo transparent (one side) mylar bags exist?
