When to stop burping my mason jars?

[Sand4x105]

Stop the idiocy... Dry your bud to 70% too wet...
Dry your bud to 65-70% too wet
60-65% Perfect it's in the zone... START YOUR CURE....
55-60% Dry enough, ready for long term cure/storage...
Less than 55% WTF You crazy?
Buds turn to dust... less than 50% all they are are dust in the wind

Can you please explain the reason for you feeling this way? I get that it simplifies the process by helping to control humidity, but why is that a negative? Is there an argument for less control? I'm trying to get better at curing and understand it better, so I don't understand why keeping pressure in the right direction to the humidity point you want to be at for that stage of curing would only be for amateurs. I can also understand if you feel like it's just unnecessary because you're so good at it, but you made it seem like there were reasons it reduces the quality of the curing process.
Thanks!

It is not for amateurs. I've been growing cannabis for more than 20 years, and someone from this site pointed me to Boveda paks and it makes my life when I'm curing 10, 1 qt jars at a time much easier.

Whatever works, works.

Do not listen to people who have their head up their ass.

If it didn't work for them, they would say that in a polite fashion. Otherwise, they are the amateur.

Aside from that, I take them OUT when I am done curing for long-term storage as they just dry up anyways. Another member on here taught me how to rejuvinate them for re-use, so that's what I do.

Caliber IV hygrometers in 2 of 10 jars with 2 Boveda 62% paks in each jar, then I open and burp every four days or so for the first few weeks, then remove everything and store.

hi there. I was reading up on curing when i saw yr post, and i wondered the same thing, and found that experienced growers want total control over their enviroments. When using 62% rh packs, it is meant for storage,nothing else. Will NOT cure smoke for you. I have also read that they keep yr buds on the overly moist side. I would just store and rehydrate as needed...as long as yr not taking yr lid off and on 20 times aday, it should hold moisture pretty good....just my chime in,, happy trails comrades!

i dry until they're about 65-ish RH then i jar them then burp daily until i reach close to 62% then i use the boveda pack for long term storage/cure

i have high ambient temp/rh, around 28-30c and 65% RH so hang drying with a fan not directly pointing at them will dry them pretty quick.

Honestly the best thing i have spent my money on. If you do not know about UV curing/storage jars then i highly suggest something like those products. Any anti-UV jar will do

$24 for a qt jar. Right? Maybe if I was stocking a time capsule.

Any anti-UV will work. I got mine from herbpreserve years ago.

Love your last line dust in the wind. Love that song.
Shouldn't a basic dry cure take 2 weeks for each step? Have yet to cure any.

So my buds have been dried and are curing,sitting in quart size mason jars with an oz each. My oldest has been curing for 2 months and most of it has been curing for a little over a month. Do you have to burp forever? How long do you suggest? My process is to wait 2 months before transferring smokable bud from curing jar to stash jar(about 1/8 at a time).Fortunately, my grow will last me until next harvest. Drooling over the thought of having personal stash that has been cured for a year.I was gifted bud that was cured for a year and it was spectacular. Anyway, I'm a newbie and just need to know if I should stop burping my cured bud after a certain period of time.thanks all.
[/QUOTEdont go for that long your killing the thc n resin glands n jus letting it go to waste ... U can only cure for so long before its pointless. Hate to break it to ya but by u waiting that long is jus a waste of time....
