I have been curing for a bit more than a month now. 1-3 weeks I burped at least 1-2 times a day for 15 or more minutes in open air and sometimes I would even put my buds on a rolling tray to dry out.
Currently I burp once in 2-3 days, just opening the lids and checking on my buds. The temperature now is 55 F, humidity inside the jars is 52-57.
I used Boveda 62% but got them out to see what’s really happening inside the jars.
When I open the jar, the smell is fresh and tasty, something like cookies, but this is not that stinky cannabis smell. To a touch, some buds are a bit squashy and some are very hard and stiff. There was nothing like chlorophyll when I tried the earliest buds, I expected these cured buds to be even better. But I made some mistakes along the way. I had fluctuating temperatures in the curing area a couple of times.
Those fluctuations might have affected my buds in a bad way. Now I am trying to wait until the humidity inside the jars gets back to 62%.
Jars are filled in proportion 1/3. That means that there is a lot of space in the jars. It seems to me I should try to take out the moisture that is stuck inside the buds.
However, how can I avoid drying my bud being bone dry and when to apply humidity packs and hydrostones?
with hydrostones and humidity packs. Risk for developing mold is really low now, I think I can only open jars when I need buds.
