HELP! Humidity Packs for Curing

[24McNuggetsPlease]

Hi friends. Coming up to my 2nd cure. After the plants dry Ill pop them into a jar for curing. I have 55% two way humidity packs. Will this be ok or should I buy the 62% ? Whats the difference and why do they sell two kinds ? From my understanding they I use them straight after drying? Thanks guys !

Me myself and I dont use them, they tend to leave a taste behind. I'll just say this, mold grows at or above 55% RH.

McNuggets, I don't use them to cure, I use them after the cure is done. Different boveda paks for different uses: cigars, buds, etc. When you keep the 62% ones in the jar, it's to prolong the cure, because the cure is done below 55%: they are too dry to cure anymore. At least that's what I understand Nebula to be saying.

I only use them after a month of of strategic burping. As previously mentioned, if used earlier they seem to take away the flavor and smell profiles.

Once cured, its preference for storage. 58% packs are slightly dryer and the buds fluff up way more in a grinder. I personally prefer 62%. The buds are slightly damper so they don’t feel as dry snd they don’t fluff up much in a grinder which means my doobies burn super slow which is what I like. I’ve never had a jar go bad during storage with a 62% pack and once cured I don’t open the jar again until ready to use. I’ll shake them around a bit occasionally but that’s it

I also think buds taste better without using them. As long as you get decent jars and burp regularly you shouldn’t have a problem

I don't use them at all anymore, nothing but jars and Grove bags for me and the only thing that goes in 'em is bud.
