I dried my first crop and have them in Mason jars with temp and humidity reader plus a bovada pack and burping daily. 20° celcius and 50% humidity I'm my cold storage room where it stays. I hear proper.curing takes 6 months. Thats fine. I aim to get the best scenario if possible. How much maintenance do I do from here on please? Thx
 
I burp daily for first week, every other day for another week, then once a week for a while then once a month or so until used.

All of this is about to change with Grove Bags. Put dry bud in them, heat seal and don't open until you want to use some. I have a couple of plants curing like that now.

Congratulations!
Is your cold storage room 50% humidity, or are you using 50% bovada packs inside your jars?
Either way, burp daily for 7-10 days, every other day for 7-10 days, and then just start burping a time or two a week and start sampling! This has worked pretty well for me so far.
And I do think you’ll notice your crop get better as time goes by!

I fridge-dried, then cured my last harvest in Grove bags and I am SOLD! Great product, and the bud comes out amazing. When my Curidor Pro gets here, I will have room to cold-dry quite a bit more at one time. Can't wait.
 
it is is a good thing that most of you support these consumer products related to Cannabis. now for those of you that will disagree. do it the way you want. the old fashioned method has been around for thousands of years. no fancy bags or humidity packs. been drying and curing since 1965.
from then till around 2011, hang the whole plant for one day for every 10% of humidity, that means if your at 50% h. then it would hang five days.
then in to paper bags for a day or two. for cure, nothing fancy, just sealed tight in plastic bags. in 2011. i modified the method to hang, then bag, then in to jars. for cure. i admit curing in jars is better than the old fashioned way after cure some go's in to seal a meal in freezer.
and will be better in a few months. and will last for two years in seal a meal in freezer. in my opinion all the humidity paks and special bags are the wrong way to dry and cure bud. the process that has been around since humans is the best way! this is my OPINION.
as we all know "opinions are like assholes everybody has one". :cheers: :headbang:

Yep... this right here.... other than I've always used glass for cure...kept customers happy since the mid 80s. But... I am in an area with compatible rH for drying, most of the time. I can see how some of the developments would make big differences in areas that had low rh.
