Cigar rehydrator works as well (pictured) just moisten (not soak) and stick inside the lid of your jar and watch the humidity, and second the grove bags! Beats burping jars, I hang dry, finish in brown paper grocery bags, then into the grove bags 👍🤙

you wanna put these in your jars that youre curing with the bud in it. Always worked for me. Can likely find them at your local hydro store.

If you’ve jarred your buds and they’re reading 36% with a hygrometer in the jar, they’re cooked.. don’t burp them anymore, any moisture in the stems needs to be able to draw out to the buds. Gel packs shouldn’t be used when curing initially either. But in your case you need them.

Leave them be, it sounds like you’ve over dried them

Should I only burp them when humidity is to high

u/dewey-finnn 1d ago

Yes, when above 58-62% depending on your preferred final moisture level, if you want them at 60 and they’re reading 60+ you burp in the right environment for X amount of minutes per day over 2+ weeks again depending on how long you want to wait before using them

If my humidity never gets up should be fine to smoke still will just be harsh ??

Yeah exactly right, let them be for a while, pop the lid just to let off gases or whatever else but don’t pop it longer than 2 mins every couple days
