Update on curingWe are currently on the 11th day in the jars. I did burp them that first week bc they were 68%rh. This last week I didn’t open them at all. I’ve also had the boveda packet in the jars since the humidity went down to 62%. I can’t find anything telling me what I could of done wrong, so maybe this is me being impatient, and if I just trust the process and wait, maybe it’ll be ok. I tend to go straight for the panic button sometimes
In an attempt to get rid of that awful smell. I emptied all the bud out of the jars, and took off the remaining sugar leaves. I used the smaller Mason jars this time. Then I brought up the humidity from 61% to 68% bc they were too dry, IMO. I didn't really change anything but the size of the jars and aired them out. And that terrible smell is gone. Idk what happened, but I think it was bc I stopped burping the jars about a week ago. So back to burping lol
12th day curing.
ah ha! I knew it would be something as simple as someone's name and just as awesome. Cool, thanks for clarifying!They're called Carhooks because Carcass came up with them! If you click the link in Trala's sig you can see his post on how to make them.
Oh yeah, I'm sure you're right about me sealing them to soon. I don't think it was that diesel smell, sadly.A number of varieties have a diesel smell, and there are folks who crave that smell in their buds! But is sounds like you may have sealed them too soon.
I burped them for about five days, and sealed about five days, give or take. Yeah, I definitely sealed way too soon.So 16 days in the fridge and then how many days before you sealed them? They might need another week of burping to get rid of any remaining chlorophyll.
When is the best time to add the boveda packet?
