You can now get a terp protector bovida for that very problem. But again, do things properly and you won't need them. Well that saves a few quid then, thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at getting some for the first time but curing is an area I am improving so don't want something to hinder my progress. That's quite an interesting point, I would of thought with vaping that the cure would enhance the flavour as well. Was it just the clouds or the taste as well? I don't know if they remove terpenes, but the benefits of a stable environment outweigh any terp loss. Terps won't last forever, but my old jars still smell great, you won't regret the expense of them, for piece of mind and less chance of the dreaded musty smell in 6 months..just get the biggest packs you can afford. I use 2 67g packs in a 3L parfait jar, total overkill but I figure they work more efficienctly in pairs. And first vape of 12 day dried buds is most likely clouds of moisture, but loads of flavours nonetheless. I wonder if any other vapsters enjoy test vapes the same way? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @Slippy One I will keep it in mind, still have a few days before I jar up so will make my mind up today! I just love how smooth a smoke is after a long cure, for me my Xmas buds need to be chosen and packed away but June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hash72 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 i jar mine and burp everyday for a few weeks, then i start vaping it and i see the difference as it cures over the weeks and months, stops tolerance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slippy One Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I agree that humidity packs aren't necessary from properly grown, dried flower, but they eliminated a problem I had where a few big jars would get a musky odour after 6-9 months. To me they're piece of mind after a month of burping that long forgotten jars are still as fresh as they can be from 1 year and beyond. This is especially true for my outdoor crops. My rare indoor crops never last long enough to get a cure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 @mysticriver My weed hangs for at least 2 weeks, it's probably more like 4 really. I'm really lazy and i do perpetual growing so there's usually a good backlog of things to trim up. The one exception was last year, we had stupidly high humidity and the weed was taking weeks before it was even smokable never mind being able to bag it. For normal conditions i'd say 14days when left on the plant. I dry in an open fronted cupboard that has a 125L1 intaking into my loft so there is quite a bit of air movement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purepotstill Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I'm just using jars. Put an hygrometer in one and have a look. When it comes under 60%, I put a bit of damp paper towel in (but not in contact with the weed) and wait for the RH to rise somewhere between 60 and 65%. When I take some weed, I put the hygrometer in another jar to check it. Rinse and repeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as I'm vaping my weed, I like this RH level, gives some lovely clouds with my VapCaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippy One Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I have dozens of those disc hygrometers, none of them give the same reading. Don’t be a noob, stop with your damp towels, noob is no excuse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purepotstill Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Well, my weed is up to my taste this way. I'm using the same wireless hygrometer than in my tent. Why should I stop ? (real question, seems OK to me to do this). I've done this when I had slightly overdried my buds. RH is stable now into the jars, it doesn't move at all.
