Harvest & Curing Grove Bags Test Thread

So is the reason I had 1 person saying to dry to between the 58-62% and another tell me between 10-15% is it because 1 was referring to jar rh using a hygrometer and other was assuming I had a moisture meter to check it to the 10-15?? That was mega confusing at 1st when I was trying to figure out what to do preparing product to be bagged! :shrug:
For best results please use a moisture meter and insert the probes through a large top cola and into the stem any reading over 12% before storing in the Grove Bags may resulting in having to burp the bags.

A moisture meter. WTF? Ok. I was gonna say... Below 50% serious tricomb damage begins to occur. Thanks.
So I burp 2x day 1st week. 1x day 2nd week. Then once every few days or so. When meter reads 55% I Boveda. Then just close bag and let it sit. May open once a week or so after. Just to smell. I dont hold flower long enough to seal the bag as a rule.

I wonder if maybe that trimbag thing is same! They say to dry to 10% before putting into it but seems if hygrometer said that and u put inside and shook it up to knock leafs off that them dry ass buds would fall to pieces! Makes me curious! :shrug:

I would never let my flower go below 50% on purpose.

Moisture meter is to measure the moisture content of the plant in the stem. It's more accurate for the timing of placing the bud in the bag. There will still be residual moisture in the stem of your bud go out to the rest of the bud for proper moisture to the entire bud. This should result in the relative humidity being close to the optimal 62% relative humidity The hydrometer may show a lower humidity the first day or so, but the moisture in the stems will migrate outwards and raise the relative humidity, so don't do anything for a couple days, unless it's higher that 62 right off the bat. The hydrometer is there to confirm the relative humidity and to let you know if you need to burp. Once it's stable for a week, I'd say it's good to seal. I did this in big bags and once it was stable, I re-packaged in half oz bags and sealed them.
The idea is to test the stem moisture level and bag at 12% and burp until 62% is achieved. I'd not add any packs unless after waiting a few days after bagging, the Rh didn't come up. Grove bags says he'd rather you not put packs in the bags, but I don't see how it hurts in that situation, as long as you remove it once stable.
 
50% intentionally is silly. Where did that come from?
Cuz they say to dry to 10% range before bagging but didn’t specify the moisture meter part at 1st so could be mad confusing not knowing that portion of the formula and tried to get it to 10% on a hygrometer in a jar! Be like 2 pinches away from turning to dust at that level! :rofl:

LOL! Yup!

Don't read a "How to do" right after blazing a big blunt, Mark!:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Thanks I know what it is. I use them in my profession. It is just overkill IMO.
