Just ordered 2 from Amazon, thanks for the tip Simon, I will try these out the same way you dry and cure, and post my results. Will have some going into jars in about a week, hopefully my order will be here by then.

I bought one of these and have it in a Jar of Flo, (pheno that I haven't grown before). I'm chopping a bunch of Blue Moon Rocks girls today that I've grown a few times so I'm going to test it out with them too. I have it steady at 60% right now and I have a feeling I've been over drying my weed if all this info is correct.

if only I would have read this a year ago.

Very interesting. If you don't mind my asking, approximately, how long as the product been drying and how long has the hygrometer sat in the closed container?

Where I cure the humidity is about %15.

I dry in card board boxes with string and keep the tops open. Then just fan the air out once or twice a day and dry for 2 days. Then just go to the jars and burp the jars like 4 times a day for as long as needed. The boxes start the RH at about %70 for the first 12 hours then it drops to 50% for the remainder of the next day and a half then put them in jars before the outside totally dries out.

You can eventually just learn how long they need burped by experimenting. Burping the jars is my main vice for starting the curing process.

I dried the Flo for about 4-5 days, and it's been in the Jar for almost 24 hours, been sitting steady at 60%. If I didn't have the hygrometer in there, I would have normally dried it a bit longer I think.

It sounds like the flowers can still gain a bit of moisture. Here's how you can tell. If the stems on the top colas are snapping cleanly, the odds are that a big hike in the RH of the product won't take place and that it'll most likely gain just a few points of moisture over the next few weeks. If the (big) stems snap with some flex, the product has a way to go, depending.

Thanks for the feedback, BTW.

This thread has been a golden nugget. I was just starting my first cure when I read this.

It's sitting right at 60%.


So easy a caveman could do it. You, sir, are the man! Many thanks.
