looks like im still living under Murphys law. I had chopped most my plants a couple of weeks ago, hung whole to slooowly dry, they were looking & smelling fantastic,
did the finale dry trim Thurs morning but I was out of jars so I just re-hung them until I could pick some jars up. I stayed out at my EX's for the last couple of days as the temp at home went up to 106*f, 18 % rh, :shock: When I got home last night It was 102*/24rh at 6pm.... It baked the shit out of the hanging bud's, bone dry, crumbly mess ! :sad:. I jarred them last night at bout midnight, this morning the jars shows 40%rh, :(:(

Crud Bob! I've done similar shit though. They will come back around with time in jars and a few bovidas. Not perfectly but good enough. That was my experience. Sticking some fan leaves from a vegger in the jar can help too.

I thought the Bovedas only help in drying?, will they re-hydate ?

The pot leaf doesn't impart a different smell though. I used to use orange/citrus peels to hydrate old brick weed back in the day. Lol. All sorts of lovely tricks to make it look/smoke better... If only I knew then what I know now.

It actually revived the Akki smell. I used a small sliver of a slice off of a Honey Crisp apple. The jar is in the fridge also. Citrus peel will impart more of its characteristics. Apples just seem to have a freshness that they add back.

Try one with apple and compare. I hadn't done it in years because I usually forgot that I did it and ended up with a piece of moldy apple in my stash.

This time I remembered and It worked great!

I'm pretty sure I'd F that up too & have dry buds with apple mold on em...lol
I've done it a few times, I use a slice of potato, doesn't really transfer any smell or taste. I think the trick is to not overhydrate again or you lose a lot of flavour. 12-18 hours in the jar, depending how dry it is and take it out. With a bit of cure it's usually alright. of course you have to remember to take the potato out ;)
