First thing, I want to say this is ‘book learnin’ for me, I have no practical experience yet, but if I get anything wrong, I know I’ll get schooled - which is why I’m here.
Everything I’ve read suggests that cold storage is for long-term, so you’d want a stable well-cured airtight jar. This means you shouldn’t chill uncurled / RH-unstable weed. The reason I say this is because temperature is a known factor in curing, but I haven’t found ANYTHING on “cold curing”. You should no-kidding cure it first. Once the cure is “complete enough” for you (RH settles where you want it) chilling or freezing shouldn’t make a difference in the jars’ internal humidity. The important point is when going to open them: you must bring them up to room temperature before you open the jar, and you should do it over time (24+hr?). If you skip this, the cold bud will condense moisture out of the air, which could lead to bad things.
Okay, I hear you on living where it’s hot, believe me. It occurred to me that you could give your herb a cooler atmosphere by getting a styrofoam (or other) cooler that will hold your jars, and which you could keep a cold beer in...should be able to drop the cooler temp 10f....
its a fight with RH at fridge somehow it affect RH in jars even when the jars are in vacuum bags ...
if the overthink post is for me ...
I dont have proper cured buds yet and I just wanna make good temps for curing and the timer on fridge maybe is dumb idea but it works for now more than keeping buds at 88F
