Room ambient temp when burping

As obvious as it sounds, you don't want to be burping in a room that has a high humidity. Im always trying to improve the cure and when I think Ive nailed it, results show otherwise. I know other factors can influence the cure but I was seeing what other peeps thoughts are on this matter? Only from what I read there isn't much info on this and I can bet majority of peeps that are burping in an environment that is above the 60-65% cure zone espesh if living in the UK. Or is this just common sense and Im thinking to much into it? Just for the record I am now dehumidifying the room to around 55% when I burp, assuming this will make a smoother cure so to speak.

If the room is high humidity and warm then you let the jars cool off the RH% in the jar will go up. So don't let that happen.

Hi Zee,
Ya it's a pain, but anyone who has really high RH has had to deal with drying too. You can hang them a month and they won't dry till you fire up the dehuey.

Ill rep you thre because few ever consider this

However i dont burp and burping would assume you didnt leave to dry till 10-15% bud moisture and it still had some to release - we call this 'jarring too early'.

So not for burping but when jarred i like to do it on a low humidity warm day for optimun storage and found this to producw fractionally better results than say i jarred indoors during a thunderstorm when its plus 70% humidity.

Ive jarred in both it all works though because my bud is dried down to the right moisture content and hasnt got moisture to release when stored.

Those who live at such high humidities that bud dont dry also will have problems even growing bud in the first place let alone the mold on their house walls clothes and such as at that humidity that is naturally the problem.

Here in the 21st century we control our houses to human habitable levels which also seems perfect for growing drying and jarring

We also find the reverse, if you dry down your bud with drhumids and such it will only pick back up moisture once released from the long cure - organic matter is a bitch for that, ive had dried bud seem less dry after a day or so of high humidity and had well cured bud that felt a touch damp but after a few hours out the jar felt a lot drier.

Equalization happens with the environment to a small extent - strange few note this or talk about it

I have dried for two weeks maintaining as close as i can to 62%RH and temp at 60. Going to take awhile to get everything clipped off so i still maintain these numbers in the room. After cutting and putting a large ammount into a large paper bag with a meter overnight the RH in the bag the meter holds at 62%. I will of course check RH after going into jars so does this sound like burping will not be necessary?

I shoot for 55%...the goal is to equalize moisture level from inside to outside. So pop a lid and feel the bud.

I can't get 62% weed to burn at all. I like 55% much better.

Hey thanks for your reply, in a nut shell I dry to about 12 days which is when I jar them( small stems snap)I can keep them closed so I don’t need to burp, however I do burp over a period of few months to bring it down to my preference, but what I was finding is, is the bud is dry but when I’ve hated

Thanks for your reply dude. I guess I could of elaborated a little. When I dry which normally takes 14 days, I then jar them and I wouldn't need to open the jar as the moisture content is low no risk of rot, however when I do jar them at that point, the consistency of the bud is not where I want to vape it at, so therefor I burp every other week to bring it down, it just seems the room I do it in plays more of a factor in terms of the bud drying further.
Another dude has made a point on here where the buds absorbs the atmospheric minute moisture thats within the environment which in return makes the bud feel soft, and I think this is where my prob lies, hence the post.

What are you insane people talking about. Burping takes less than 2 seconds, no moisture is being exchanged.


My God do you people keep your spare quart of motor oil in a cooler in the trunk, in fear it might evaporate?

Are you of some odd belief that air does not contain moisture? Or perhaps you didn't realize the whole point of burping is air exchange?

If you put dry bud in a jar and seal then open a day later your not exchanging any air or moisture as the bud is still dry and zilcho has changed.

What were saying/teaching is that if you learn to dry bud properly first you have zero reason to burp. A jar is simply to store, it is not part of the drying process and dried bud is a finished product that needs no more air or moisture exvhange.

Burping is like a myth now, time moves on

That is a different argument, which is certainly open to debate. Some people do still burp their jars however, and what's not open to debate is whether or not an air exchange takes place during burping. It absolutely does, as that is the entire point of burping: to give the aerobic bacteria fresh oxygen so that they can do their job and continue to digest the chlorophyll, metabolites, and other sugars on your bud as part of the curing process.

So what you’re saying is a 14 day dry will be as smooth and as potent as flower that takes 3 times as long to get to the same moisture level? Maybe I’ll do an experiment on my next dry. Would save a ton of time for me!

14 days? I just jarred up some after 6 days and I think I waited too long. They are dry, yesterday they had some spongy feel, this morning...dry. Happened quick. Rh is like 50. The buds were in a paper bag.
