I like that idea just gonna load up on big jars and throw in the packs how often do I have to open it or just throw a pound in a big jar n one big boveda pack or do I put more then one pack in a jar?

I found some 2.5 gallon food grade pails that worked good for bigger amounts, not jar tight but enough to increase moisture. Lids are a fight to get off.

well if they're dry already I don't think you'll have to burp them, I normally set it and forget if i'm already done my initial drying process and when you're storing them in a jar its best to fill it about 80% and put in the boveda pack in accordance which it says it's good for, if you overwork it it'll dry out faster and the more you open the jar the more it has to start all over again with setting the humidity within the jar

Ok if you were to guess how long do u leave it in there? Is there such a thing as leaving it in there to long. Probably gonna be in there less than a week just making sure I don't run into mold problems

you can go for months when it comes to curing, the last batch I had I cured for 6 months and it was the smoothest, cleanest outdoor bud I've ever smoked.
the packs actually keep from mold occurring, if you do see mold its probably because you didn't properly clean out your jar or it was already preexistence in your bud.
even opening up your jar too often could get a possibility of getting a spore in there, if you're iffy about the higher humidity level maybe go with the 58% pack and get a little hygrometer to put in there to see where your levels are at for humidity as to not go too high but with a 2 way I doubt it will rear from its expected percentage

If a cure dries out the curing process stops. A fresh fan leaf in a half gallon mason jar will moisten them a bit but change nothing as far as taste or aroma.

the 69 packs work good also. I use pint jars and put the pack right in the middle of jar.
