Burping/Curing in low temps (45-55F)

This will be my second go at curing and have a couple questions.

The base temp for curing here at my place is around 60-65F with a normal RH in jar of about 60-65. What I noticed was that with reduced temp comes reduced RH readings.

What does this do for/to the burp process?

And

How often/long should I be burping in low Temps. (45F 50RH)

If I bring the jars inside the rh will hit a point that the jars need to be burped. (65RH) Just curious if I should be treating the 45F cure the same as one being cured in 65F 60-65RH since the bud still contains the same amount of moisture, just a lower RH reading due to lower temp.

I hope what I am trying to say is conveyed appropriately.

In home: 65F 60-65RH
In garage(current storage) 45F 50RH

when my jars can stay at 62ish I stop burping them.

If your concerned about a % or 2 grab a 10 pack of 62% Bovida packs and put one in each jar.

Before they get down to the 62% I would dump the whole ja rout for an hr or so. Depends how close to the mark they are.

I dry slow fresh off the plant in doubled up paper bags in my basement where it's about 50F most of the winter. Can take up to 5 weeks before dry enough to jar up and start burping. No green at all in my cured buds after a that. When the go into the cans for burping they are still moist enough to form a big clump for the first week or so. Shake out and let air dry for 20 min each day for the first week or so until clumps don't form. Need to dump out and air dry in the bags for the first 2 weeks as well.

Some OG#18 from a few years back. Smokes so smooth with a long cure and most of the actual cure happens with a slow dry. Hang drying is too fast to allow all the biological stuff to happen to break down the starches and chlorophyll. Now I make almost everything into oil so freeze it freshh then either cook it up in something like coconut oil or extract it with naphtha.
