Curing using boveda pack

So I Dried the Harvest, until the stems almost snapped. Filled a Mason jar 3/4 full. Everything rehydrated so I added a humidity pack. Do I really just leave this jar sealed for weeks, like everyone says, or do i still check it daily? So if this little Gadget really keeps the humidity at exactly 62%, how long does it take for a good cure?

IMO you want to burp your jars at least every other day till the flowers feel a bit crispy on the outside when you first open the jar, that's when you can keep the jar closed for weeks and not have to worry about it. If stuff gets too dry i'll toss a boveda pack in the jar for a day or 2 then pull the pack out, I personally don't like to keep the packs in the jars.

Even with the Boveda packs, I'd check the buds twice daily. If the buds are soft and clump together and the buds stick to the jar due to the moisture, then dump them into a paperbag for 4 - 8 hours, then re-jar. As long as the buds re-hydrate and clump together, do NOT rely on the Boveda to prevent mold, the buds aren't dry enough.

After a few days of checking, you'll notice the buds 'clink' around in the jar as you tumble it around. They are THEN ready to seal for days with the Boveda.

The first time I used the Bovedas, I had 11 quart jars and there was one I chose NOT to open after I initially put in the Boveda and that one developed an Ammonia spell.
