Hello my Friends, I jarred up 10 oz on July 17, 2022, 1oz per jar, they all have 58% humidity packs. I gave a jar to my friend last week, and he said when he broke open a bud, he noticed some white fuzz on the inside. nothing noticeable on the outside. i store the jars in a cool dark room. i cure them for one month, then add the humidity pack, and don't open the jars after that.never had a problem in the past. anybody ever have this issue. any thoughts on why it happened, and how to prevent it from happening in the future?

open the remaining 9 jars and see if you have the same issue. Maybe it is isolated to the jar you gave away, with that big fat bud.....

Mold grows at or above 55% humidity, yes I have lost a jar or 2 also. As suggested do check the rest before tossing.Comment

Well i've had humidity too high when i've opened fresh cured buds. I'll empty them in a brown paper bag seal it up and allow to slow dry for a day feel it. You really need to burp those jars and not ignore how they feel.Smoke Ganja create Peace Respect Nature don't trash the Planet

I've had the same thing happen to me and I think it's because I wasn't letting them dry enough before jarring. You can also do more long term storage in the freezer, I'm not sure how much curing improves things after a month or two anyway, but I'm no expert hereComment

interesting comments, i was always under the impression that there is no need to burp the jars when you have humidity packs in them.Comment

The bigger and denser the bud, the higher the risk of mold. All bigger buds can be reduced to smaller nuggets. We all love pics of great bud porn but in the long run I feel it's better to cure them in a smaller size.Comment

Nope. Burping is essential if you want to do it properly. Remember that if the weed goes into the jar too moist, it won't matter how cool and dark the room is.Originally posted by johnb1963 View Post
The other possibility is that the jars are not properly sealed...hence the reason the best jar is a" canning" jar (2 piece lids). They are specifically designed to seal tighter than a frog's ass...I hope there is an afterlife...there are a lot of friends and family I'd like to see again, one day.Comment

Tell me about it... :/Originally posted by Motoman15 View Post
I had really big nice colas last harvest, I thought, wow, what dense colas and so heavy... and then when curing an unusual strong smell every burp...
After some questions in here and I got good answers... bud rot, mold, had to incinerate half the harvest!
Colas full of water probably.
Half of it was OK and smelled wonderful, Northern Lights Auto, so I got lucky there.
Next time if and when I get big colas I will for shure break them up in smaller pieces when drying and curing.
Bought a Black Light LED at the time but didn't understand what I saw.
Maybe the wrong kind of LED. Any tips on what kind of LED I need, and if it really works to find mold on colas and buds?Comment

yup, i use the canning jars, and have humidity packs in them, for long term storage.Comment
