Regarding the idea that Bovedas rob the buds of terpenes. I don’t find this to be true. I do run into problems of weaker aromas (terpenes) when I've overdried the buds.Hey Keltic! Have you ever tried short term storage without Bovedas? I've read a lot of comments that they Rob flavor from the buds. I don't smoke enough to know myself but I can say they smell much better without Bovedas.. I do still use them for long term storage and any jars that got too dry. I've also read the other brand boost does not rob flavor but I'm not sure I believe that.
So we wanted to share some legitimate research about Boveda and terpenes
Assuming your ambient RH is below 70%! If not you will need to use another technique to lower the RH. Many use rice balls (see my sig for instructions) and I use a mini-dehumidifier in a cardboard box.If 70% or below then I pack all in jars for final cure and start the burping in a cool dark place.
Why...? Out of curiosity...
Good deal! I figured that since we're using low and slow to maintain the highest level of terps then we should consider the humidity pack debate.
I thought Sativa are more energetic and indacouches..... huh.... this plant is so amazing it makes me wonder how many other quirks are yet to be found!
DoH... re-read it and understand that is what the amber is indicating is Indica tendencies the more amber... dang hoot clouded my
comprende. Heheh
Lol I have an app for that
I’ve seen what can happen with buds left in jars without Bovedas and forgotten. Not my own - mine never last that long - but it’s not pretty to lose good bud to poor storage.
What happens and about how long is too long. The boss flies through it but still takes her a while.
The claims from Boost are from users.
Right I’ve had a batch of buds drying slowly in cold air temps (no fridge yet)
I have a couple of questions for you guys I’m trying to perfect my drying as best as I can.
Currently temp is 19.5c and 63% humidity.
When I put them in sealed jars the humidity starts at 63 and then rises.
I suppose if the starting humidity is 63% it’s never going to get to the 62% cure zone.
What do you guys use as a starting humidity?
And what can I do to achieve this?
Tried putting in a 62% boveda but after 20 mins humidity spiked to 82%
You can never get your buds lower than the ambient humidity without intervention. I'm rarely below 62% so I use either rice balls (as SweetSue mentioned) or a mini-dehumidifier in a box with the buds. You can also let them sit in the car with the AC on as that lowers the humidity as well.So your saying if the ambient humidity is 63% the buds won’t dry passed 63% humidity?
That bit I’m struggling to understand.
Would excess humidity from the buds not just be extracted out the extractor fan and the humidity just stays around 63%
If what you say is correct theoretically if I have ambient humidity of 63% I don’t have to worry about curing as they will start curing in the open air?

I don't cure them in the open air but I also don't worry about them over-drying while they hang.
One last thing...Boveda or Boost humidity packs are not designed to lower or raise the RH by more than a few points and are not a substitute for proper drying before sealing. Using them that was is the fastest way to mold your harvest, as one of our members just discovered last week! They are for maintaining the correct RH during the cure.
Depends on how long they've been hanging when the RH hits 55%! Early on is fine. After a week at 63% is not as good but they should be fine. But lower than that and it's hard to rehydrate them effectively.
Have you seen the Rice Ball tutorial? Loose rice will get caught in the buds!
Rice Balls to lower RH in jars
Let me start by talking about the success of @Scientific's oven-dried rice suggestion. :thanks: HOLY MOLY! Toss out your silicone beads and your store-bought desiccants. If you need fast and extreme dehumidifying, GO WITH RICE! The basic info is that rice took the RH in the jar from 75% to...www.420magazine.com
