        I have some 61s but I'm not impressed with em. They throw a flavor......
        I've found that I agree with Tersky among others- humidity packs suck & are only for long term storage & for folk who can't handle doin a proper cure.

          Ahh misunderstood....i only use them for storing. XXXbud, you dont want to use humidipacs for curing your bud. Its gotta dry slowly hanging,on a rack, clothesline, little airflow around it(not right at it). I like to use a dehumidifier in same room when im drying keeping it at or around 55-60%. Some people use paper bags for drying their bud. Then into jars, popping the lid at least once a day for a month. then your nearing a decent cure.

            That's the way I've done it before was hang until little snap then put in mason jars and burp once twice a day for couple weeks until done....

          I've never used the packs before but am considering them for this years harvest. In the past I've used pumice rocks soaked in water and placed in plastic film canisters in my storage containers. It's primitive but has worked fine for me.

            really crucialbunny ...shit if it works dont bother changing. These humidipacs dont last forever and aren't cheap. if you can just re-soak the pumice stone and re-use, sounds like a good idea. What kind of humidity can you maintain and what size jars or containers? Where can i find pumice stone?

            I re-moistened mine to reuse and they work fine so far. Humidity is a little higher than 62% but I feel like it's just because I didn't let them dry enough. I just threw mine in a mason jar with a damp paper towel for a day and let them soak up the moisture. I do a dry trim so I use them to rehydrate my buds before they go in the Grovebags. Works great for me so far.

          Being a Cancer I keep every memory in a box of some kind. As a result I have dozens of tin containers like this one, and after cure I will keep each plant's bud in a different one to keep track of what's what. A pumice stone about 1 inch and submerged in water overnight then set in an open film canister seems to keep my product from getting too dry. I re-soak them every few weeks. I just gave my grandson my last bud from this previous year's grow and it still smelled and felt fine. (nearly a year) These don't seal as well as a mason jar but that can help in preventing mold I think. I still cure in mason jars but I prefer the tin can for long term storage. P.S. What's a grove bag dbhipps1020?

            I have always cured in mason jars for my outdoor plants as well, and using them for storage until a couple of years ago. Now I use these for storage.. https://justhydroponics.com.au/product/miron-wide-neck/ and can not fault them at all. And if you want to get really technical and keep the temperature and humidity for just right for storage, you can get these lids for them.. https://justhydroponics.com.au/produ...on-mypharmjar/

            Is that the prices for one jar and lid?

            @dhipps1020 the first link is for the jar and a lid(this is all I use). The second link is for an optional lid(never used) for the same jar. I stored some buds away in a couple of these jars, and up until 14 months later they were just about the same colour, smell, taste and potency as from when I first stored them. I even ran a test with a normal mason jar when I first purchased them, huge difference in everything I mentioned in the previous sentence..
