Well, seven days of hanging @ 60 degrees and 40 humidity and three weeks in jars now.
I didn't add boveda packs or humidity meters this go because of the yield being on the small side. No point in preparing for long term storage when I'm likely to smoke it before it gets very old.
I'll do boveda packs for jars that will be on the shelf awhile. I won't do little humidity meters. My way of thinking is that the boveda packs and the meters do the same thing, only one is automatic and one is manual. Boveda packs keep the humidity constant automatically, the meters must be monitored and you have to manually adjust by opening jars.

Well shit, anyone know what's going on with my afghan? started 2 days ago so last night I did a small flush then finished with 1/8 str veg nutes, 1/4 str bloom nutes, and 1/8 str cal/mag. Appears to be only on my bigger fan leaves. Wish these girls were in bigger pots for there sizes. Looks like a potassium defic with the spots. But not sure honestly. Surprisingly, the g14 is looking great lol stopped the tip burn.

Actually the humidity readers can make it so that your bud doesn't get moldy and rot, your bud might feel crispy outside but give it a day in a jar and it can feel wet again so there good for drying as well not that I am saying anyone has an issue with drying just giving an example.
Boveda packs are not meant to just pop in a jar and cure your bud for you, there meant so that if you have cured bud at say around 60 percent when you keep opening the jar to smoke your bud it doesn't dry out also to bring moisture back into bud but it won't make bud that has dried to fast taste any better you should be using a humidity reader to even get your cured bud to the correct percent unless you want to just old school it and sample it till you get it right all the time.

Sorry boog that’s no fun! All the more reason to switch to coco maybe.
Ya this is ridiculous lol. I had less problems 10 years ago with soil I used i got with a shovel and slow release walmart osmocotoe fert with Epsom salt and molasses
There's nothing wrong with doing it your way if it works for you.
Boveda packs won't dry and cure your bud. That's true. But, if I'm in the ballpark with my dry, the boveda packs will absorb a bit of extra moisture. For me, I don't need to see exactly 62% on a meter before I use a 62% boveda pack. As long as it's not too high, the boveda pack will bring it down where it needs to be. I just need it to be somewhat close and I'm confident, having dried many things, that I can get it close and not too dry.
So, for me, the meter would be redundant. I used to be a hay farmer before moisture meters(you don't want moldy hay or hay that tastes like weed because it's too dry
) and I learned how to dry. I was simply telling Boog what is in my jars so he knows. Not what people should put in theirs.
Well, we did used to get our weed in sandwich baggies and not the ziplock kind either. It was always dry and harsh.
