HELP! I smell ammonia during curing

Caliber IV about 25$ online and worth every penny.

When using the Boveda 62 packs, when do you need to remove them from your jars? After curing is done or just leave them in?

Now hold on a minute : there's a huge difference between cut grass smell and ammonia!!! We don't want people thinking that's the same smell!! Cut grass: inevitable; ammonia: BAAAAAAAAD.

akron322 do you have a hygrometer to measure the RH inside the jars? If you smell ammonia, leave them out to dry for a while!! Dangerous!!

I ain't got a nose like a bloodhound dog but fresh cut wet grass has always had a slight smell of ammonia to me. I didn't mean it smelled so bad you got to wear a gas mask, sorry if I confused you

You got a better nose than I do, DAAS!! I can't smell ammonia in the cut grass smell. You must have just a little blood hound in you ;-}

I just didn't want anyone to think that ammonia smell was ok.

I probably do

Get you some hygrometers so you can watch the humidity go down in the jars: http://www.growweedeasy.com/sites/g...-test-humidity-with-Caliber-IV-hygrometer.jpg
