Curing: When do I stop opening the jars?

I'm confused about the curing process (Mason Jars) once the humidity level seems to have stabilized. My jars are 77F 60%RH, for the second day now. Do I continue to open daily for air exchange?

I tend to go for a week and then randomly open jars after that to see how they're doing. After that, they just sit.

Go by smell not numbers. Open every day til it smells right, then open less.

I burp jars once a day for a week. Then open every 2 day's for the next week smell, visual check, and feel for change in moisture if any. Then once a week for the next 2 weeks to smell test, mostly for pure pleasure of the aroma! Then I'm safe to keep closed to continue till full cure is achieved. Works every time for me.

Thanks for the input everyone!
It's been smelling very nice for some time now, and the humidity levels no longer rise when the lids remain closed. I've added a Bodeva 62% and tucked it away for weekly inspection before moving to long term storage.

I still haven't sampled it yet though. I don't know how long I should wait but I want it to be perfect.
Lol, I bet on my second grow I won't give a crap.
