I got the same buds in a 2qt jar and a 1/2oz Grove bag. WiIl check it in a few days to see how RH compares. Jar has a Boveda 62 in it. Room humidity is about 40%. Buds been curing since the 18th of Oct before the test.

Burping has NOTHING to do with moisture.

Cannabis gets its goodies from lipid oxidation. The plant must respire (oxidize) to produce its flavor and effect.


Grove bags are a scam and I could take them to court for claiming to have invented the double layer mylar bag. Commercial producers have been using 2 ply polyethylene since it was invented.
The only scam is the pricing. Grove Bags “innovation” is finding the right layers of Mylar to sustain a particular humidity level by limiting evaporation and oxidation. They actually do this pretty well.

Grove bags are a scam in that I could take them to court for claiming to have invented the double layer mylar bag. High end commercial producers have been using 2 ply polyethylene since it was invented. Glass jars have been sabotage tactics like most other online grow info. Sorry kids it was a business move. Keeping yall chasing your tales.
Fascinating articles, can you share how that applies to storage of dried cannabis? It certainly discusses development but reads moot on storage, thanks!

I have never tried grove bags mainly because they are pricey. I do see quite a few people that like them and that makes me interested in trying them. Found some bags that are made by sweet decades on Amazon that were 30 bucks for fifty 1 oz. bags. They are 58% to 62% humidity. These were sold out fast and have been out of stock since I received mine.

So my last harvest has been in jars and bags for curing for about 2 weeks now. I filled 10 bags with an ounce each, 1 bag with 1/2 ounce and the rest went into jars. Not sure how these compare to grove bags but so far i am happy with these. I will give an update on these as the cure progresses.

Please do a 6? month update. It'd be cool to get an A/B comparison.
 
You have that backwards.

If the RH% outside the jar is higher than inside the jar, opening the jar will not help to lower the RH%.
The jar's RH% would increase.

Conversely, if the RH% outside the jar is less than inside the jar, opening the jar would help to lower the RH% inside the jar when exposed to the outside air with lower RH%.
The jar's RH% would decrease.
I caught it a little too late and tried to edit it…… but yes ……for years I was burping thinking I was off gassing when in reality I was allowing moisture in to the jar …… now I know….. burp it to regulate the humidity. Ty!

Didn't know these things existed until I saw this thread. Just ordered a 10-pack of the 1/4 pound Grove Bags and some 62% Boveda packs. Hopefully this will be $$ well spent on keeping my shit fresh in this desert dump. If not, I blame all of you for pushing them on me. :mrgreen:

No need for the Boveda in a grove bag assuming stuff is not too moist going in. One of the advantages is eliminating the negatives associated with bovedas. I still use them for a few days of jarring as an accurate way to gauge humidity.

Wasn't sure if they were things that could/should be used together. Was planning on using some of the packs for some smallish jars. Keep maybe an ounce or so of each strain in separate jars, the rest in the bags. Try to keep me from getting into the main stash every time I want to grab a couple buds.

Cure in totes and Vacuum seal like any vegetable. Just opened one from last season, threw in a hygrometer 52% smells and tastes great. I just stop the Vacuum before it smashes the flower.
