Default curing with humidor
I'm thinking about getting a humidor to cure my weed after drying. I read on a1b2b3 that mj should be cured between 40 and 60 RH. They have humidification devices that'll keep the RH at 55%-90%. I'm wondering what the ideal RH for curing. Is weed better at 40%, 60%, or somewhere inbetween?

I'm also thinking about dehumidification packets if it's too high, and possibly oxygen absorber packets to help preserve the THC. Does anyone have experience with this?

Thanks!

With the high hummity in the humidor i would be worried about mold.....and with the air absobers ....ummm well i have used them for drying shrooms (but i dont expect those to taste good) soo id just use the good ole mason jar curing at least two weeks ,,,, YOU KNOW RATHER BE SAFE THEN SORRY

I can set the RH to 55% which is in the 40-60 range recommended by a1b2c3... is that still too high?

55% seems fine to me... if it's to dry they will dry to fast... the outside will be dry but not the inside...

the humidor came in w/o solution w/ weed in it, it's 50% RH which is ideal for curing mj. With the lid closed it's relatively air tight. Also, it's dark as shit in there it looks like it should be fine!

I've had it in there for about 4 days. The weed has a spanish cedar taste/aroma. I read online that if you leave the humidor open for a few days it'll neutralize the smell. I'm going to try that before I harvest my GDP plants

small amounts of weed take on the flavor of the spanish cedar and drown out the natural flavor. I put a nug of cheese and an 8th of blue lightning (blueberry x NL#5), and after 2 weeks, you can taste nothing but wood. Even though the wood taste is good, I prefer the taste of the weed. I'm going to try it with an ounce or two after I harvest my 4 GDP plants (california med grow). I'll keep you posted.
