Just thought I would share my thoughts on curing based on my limited experience so far.
I've cured a few harvests now and have settled on my preferred lazy cure for now unless something changes.
I've cured in both glass Mason jars and Grove bags and I feel like the bags offer better light protection obviously over clear glass and it allows moisture and oxygen among other things to pass through the bag I'm sure much more efficiently than glass.
I still burped the bags on one harvest because the flower was getting really sticky (I think combination of being really dank but also excess moisture from center). I didn't need to burp it as often as the glass jars though which was nice.
What I tried on the next harvest and worked great was actually putting a boveda pack in bag as well. The bag does a good job at maintaining moisture inside but as I noticed can't purge a lot of moisture at once. I forget the term but Grove bags does state on their website that you basically need to purge more of the internal moisture after it's dry before you can bag it and forget it.
Adding the Boveda pack at least for me has solved that problem. Since boveda uses 2-way humidification/dehumidification it can absorb that excess moisture after the drying stage and store it for humidifying later as needed. It basically kept it perfect for me without needing any intervention on my part which was nice.
Anyone else try this method yet? I'd be curious if you experienced same thing. Both of my harvests were AutoSeeds Gorilla Glue and had dense buds.
