2 days ago I removed a boveda 62% pack from the jar and when I open a jar now with each day I notice the smells are coming back. Also when I open the jar I am getting that dank smell again.
WTF does this mean? Why do they smell so little with boveda in there and who do the smells come through after just 2 days without boveda?
I am just trying to understand the science behind all of this.
Could it maybe be that the perfect atmosphere the boveda's create stops terpene evaporation? And that without the boveda's more terpenes evaporate, causing the danker smell? Just guessing here.....
^EXACTLY!!!
DHF knows his shit, this should help THC123, glad to hear smell is coming back to normal.
Us old heads were the forerunners of 62% final storage RH loooooong before anyone ever heard of the boveda thingies , but it`s the same principle from the same cigar/humidor industry.....and yeah....
62% is top end of the scale since mold and mildews can form on product any higher in percentage , but the lower % discs are said to help give better flavor and smell in the end but I have no experience with em ....and....
After bovedas , it`s so simple to keep product at optimum storage , but remember the 3 enemies of pot.....
Heat , light , and air.......
Always kept my headies in the deep freeze in suspended animation once dried and cured properly.....anyways...
Good luck with the rest bro....
Peace....DHF.........
Boveda has even come out with the 50% discs compared to the optimum 62% for the more personal stash terpene oriented folks....anyways....
My 2 centavos from 40 + yrs of doin this outside and in....
Peace.....DHF.........
I can testify from the school of hard knocks over close to 15 yrs outside and another 20 +/- inside before retirement that the EASIEST way to store properly dried and cured dope is to freeze it and put it in suspended animation....got condensation in the bags ?....
Just remove product from said condensating bag and acclimate to ambient room temps and all`s good....problem solved....now....Since pot`s best stored at a constant 62% relative humidity like Cigar Humidors are designed for properly dried , cured tobacco products , the Boveda packs have become popular in the last several yrs to prevent moisture loss during storage in normal ambient temp conditions.....but.....
Depending on ambient room temps product is stored at , after 6 months or less , even in sealed containers , chlorophyll degradation will occur and green dope turns into brown dope signifying "old dope" , so if yas wanna keep shit indefinitely ….. freeze it …..if it needs to dry out more after thawed out , let it....guaranteed it`ll be identical to what was put in though ….bet on it.....
........anyways......my 2 cents from all those yrs.....
Peace.....DHF.....
