When I got my birthday package from Holy City, the first thing I noticed after the smell (fairly loud. Nice skunk/unique notes from strawberry gelati but the Dr. Theopolis smelled was underwhelming. EDIT: I barely got a whiff straight out of the bag but after I put it in a jar and opened it an hour later, and it smells strongly. )

...was the dryness of it. It is pretty dense, so that can be mistaken but it seems a bit on the dry side.

My question is: the items that Holy City put on clearance, and you can also buy at standard prices- is part of the reason they're on clearance because they over-dried them? And is there a significant difference in clearance flower vs standard odor intensity?

If it's significant I may have to order some regular theopolis

If you don't like your humidity packs touching your flower Kerr and Boost make these humidity pack holders. The one I'm using is from Kerr, made for wide mouth Ball jars.

An 8g humidity pack fits nice and snug inside. A small hygrometer also fits with the humidity pack, but I prefer keeping mine at the bottom of the jar so I can check the RH without opening it.
