This thread is intended to share peoples thoughts and experiences with the boveda 2 way packs. they come in several sizes, micro, medium, large, and more. They also can be bought in large quantity and you get them cheaper.
I use the 62% 2-way packs; i hear thats the norm. i hear 62rh is the MAXIMUM you can have your buds be at, it's on the edge of mold zone.
I hear the trick here is to dry it too much rather that not enough then use the packs to raise it back up, reducing chance of any mold.
I was gonna buy a bunch but then someone told me they are reusable!! just always keep it in a closed container, and once in a while put it in with some distilled water.
once the pack is stiff it's no good. i'm sure every couple moths it's good to check the RH in the jar you store them with a hygrometer or something
keep in mind this is all stuff i've read and thought about, not specifically referenced from anywhere just what i understand from reading.
I hear after a month or two you gotta be careful because mold CAN form..
good thing i grow just enough to smoke before the next is ready!
things you can do... re-moisten dry buds or leaves prior to hash making. Is this good? From what i've read, the secret in getting great quality hash is not to crush the trichomes, but to knock them off or agitate them by some means (not talking about BHO or anything like that, just easy forms of hash)
main thing i'm wondering here is after curing the scraps, does it matter how moist it is when you do say, a bubble hash extraction?
~I know people freeze the bud prior to agitation, would the extra moisture help this process or is dry bud preferred?
also to make hash you want a proper cure. This will hopefully let me take my trim and put it in an open bag as i do it. As i trim the buds the stuff on the bottom is dry and more moist stuff goes on top, and its somewhat of a game but you don't want the leaves to mold, but you want somewhat of a slow dry and then a nice cure, to help the decarb process (or whatever)
then i put em in a jar. The leaves lock the chlorophyll in and another secret for good hash is properly cured product. Maybe next chop, i'll be able to cure the trim and get better product, maybe do a side-by side hash run
any input at all hope people have some good stuff to chime in with!
