Do you put boost humidity Control in your jars?

Is it good to add one of those boost humidity control to each jar or is it will harm the process?


Thanks

Hydro? Go ahead and do whatever placebo gimmick mindfuckery you want, it doesn't matter. Add every gimmick you want, keep your weed wet and pretend it's dank, whatever makes you feel good.

Natural? Don't ruin your weed with that shit.

I've cured with and without the boost packs and the end result is the same in my experience. If you dont use them you will probably have to burp the jars more often for the first week or so.

Putting small hygrometers in the jars takes the guess work out of it so I would recommend getting one of those for each jar you use.

I don't see the connection here

Your weed wont be ruined as long as you still dry it properly and burp the jars for the first week at least.

A lot of people use humidity packs for long term storage and still cure without them.

I think they balance the humidity nicely a bit at any point of jarring. If you dont know what you are doing, they will help a bit in preventing mould if you burb too little and also if you burb too much, they can help things not to dry out too much(assuming that air where ever you burn is under 62% RH). You will still need to burb, maybe a little less and they do a better job at raising humidity than lowering it, so they dont prevent mould, just add a little buffer for the humidity.

I have only used boveda and i think they came up with these and integra just copied their product(or bought a license for recipe), dunno if one is better or if they are exact same.

You don't need them.

They work well for long term storage. As in, not opening a jar for months. But only after a proper cure.
I have some Skywalker OG I harvested last Christmas that still you would swear is fresh.

If it's stored properly how does it loose moisture....A bottle of water is still the same after a year as long as there's no leak.

You wear a seat belt every time you drive right? Not just when you plan on getting into a crash...

So you're scared you might be wrong?

If there is no air exchange in a sealed container you will not loose or gain moisture.

It's only good for long term storage AFTER you've properly dried and cured. It does nothing for the "process".

I know how science works.

Jump outta the plane without checking your chute first. Makes no difference to me.

Have you ever tried it without? If sealed properly it will not change.

I'm a science guy. You only need a chute if you plan on jumping twice.

Thanks all.
I have them already so its not that I need to buy them;
I use them for long term storage in vacuum containers like this from tight vac:



I just wondered if I can put them in the jars during the cure process and not only after few weeks.

So maybe the correct question is - can it harm the curing process?
Currently the stuff is in mason jars, I am burping 4-5 time a day in the first week, then 2 times, then 1 time and later I move thme to the tight vac on and burping every few weeks.

Thanks!

Well I didn't get clear answer...

My buds are a bit dry so I put one 8 gram package of boost in each jar, I hope it will not ruin the smell.

Curing with boveda 62% packs

OK guys i just purchased boveda 62% packs to help with curing. I have many questions and done some reasearch on it. As far as I can tell you do a proper dry then throw these in the jar with it and forget about them. Have any of u ever used them before I don't want mold!!!

Lurking the boards and randomly found this thread. A ton of misinformation was given to you. Yes, they absolutely work/help. Use them for every single grow of mine over the last 10 years and never had a single dryness or mold issue, ever. Years late I know, but I hope it all worked out well for you.

Had same experience. More than a year after proper cure and smelled just like when I sealed it.
