I dry until my moisture meter gives me a reading of 16 to 18, then run it through the trimmer tumbler and put it in a Cvault with a Boveda 62% Pack and open the Cvault 2 times a day and stir the flowers around for 2 weeks. If you are using jars take your flowers out of the jars and spread them out on a baking sheet and let sit a minimum of 5 minutes then put them back in the jar with a humidity pack 2 times a day.

Honestly donāt use the boveda packs unless u r long time storage and not opening the container. The boveda packs rob taste and smell from the weed. Itās proven fact from a lot of growers that they dry the weed too fast if it is not dried fully and they alter the taste and smells of the product. Iāve used it one time in the very first run and so far after not using comes out with way better taste and smells. Iād only use boveda packs of u cannot maintain a steady decent rh in the vault sitting in a spot by itself. Try some in a jar or so without the boveda and see if I urself taste and smell any differences like most other do.

Take it youāre getting the cannatrol (i believe itās called) cabinet? Weāve looked at those and they look awesome! Canāt wait to hear what you think!

Iād like to see some data proving this. Iāve heard of people using it to add moisture to the flower when itās too dry. But Iāve never heard this crap before. Give us something thatās proof. Show us where youāre seeing these other growers that this is happening to. I donāt like to see bro science being handed out to new growers. Iād rather see them get proven dataā¦ just sayin.

I believe it is on ilgm most who use them complain it dries out the product too fast and alters the taste. I havnt really been much on ilgm in a while so I canāt even recall what thread it was on. Iāll see if I can find the posts or thread and get what I can find. A lot of the growers there that grow for a while donāt use them for this reason. Man gonna have my fricken mind going now til I can find the posts about this. I wanna say everyone talked about it for almost a solid week on the thread ok off to go look now itās starting to big me on whoās thread it was on but I believe hellraisers and all was in on the post and most say donāt use it til long time storage or cure if u canāt keep a stable rh in the container.

Exactly what Iām talking about. He said the exact opposite thing that you did. read what he said about not using them for long term and only putting them in community jars. To maintain the humidity when the jar is opened and closed constantly.
He also said he uses grove bags. They are a complete game changer. Thereās a lot of data on them and thereās a lot of people using them. They work as advertised. look them up.

I use intgra packs for moisture. But 8m going to do some testing soon as i get it. They have to wrap it with my graphics and they keep emailing me and i dont respond so its taken longer. And i do rapid 25% dries on plants for 2-3 days then i do curing stuffs. But im hoping this can cure them where it controls the smell a little better and and i can stop messing with 2 steps of drying and using boxes to control final humidity before curing. I do all my dry and curing by hand and eye and scent. I can grab a bud squeeze it and smell it and i can tell exactly how long until itts ready to smoke. So hopefully i wont have to do that as much with this machine.

I have never dried/cured cannabis before. Do you guys have a guide or any links that would be good to follow?
How do you go through the process?

I do it different because of not doing a wet trim anymore, I do a dry trim with a machine and I use Cvaults and humidity packs for curing. For new growers I suggest doing it this way: hang your harvest while maintaining the correct temperature and humidity, bend the branches everyday till they snap, remove the flowers from the branch (Bucking), put the flower in whatever container you plan on using after trimming, suspend a humidity pack from the top of the lid, preferably without touching your harvest inside the container. 2 times a day remove the flower from the container and spread out your flower on a baking sheet or a cookie sheet (basically the same thing at my house) let it set for 5 or more minutes, but less than 10 and then put it back in your container, (thatās called burping), do that everyday for 2 weeks, after 2 weeks every once in a while open the container for a few minutes unless you open the container everyday to use some. If you use the search here you can find a lot of information on drying and curing.

I donāt positively know personally but i read the same thing from seasoned growers on the forum im mainly on since i bewn there a lot longer several years and they say the same that they dont use them unless they have to but didnāt say taste etcā¦ they didnāt say why but i guess they have reasons on Grasscity Forum is where i mostly hang out.

They work great for curing and storage. But theyāre not great for daily use. iāll elaborate later if need be. Right now Iām heading out the door.
