Hi, I've dried the weed and now want to cure it. The issue is that I travel for 1 month now.. what can I do to preserve and not have mold meanwhile?

The more they stay in 62% humidity the better they become. Many over on that and no problem. At the beginning you should shake a bit every 2~7 days to avoid concentrated humidity at some spots.

What was your drying technique ? Regiment: (time, temp, humidity) How dry is it? Do you have hygrometers in the storage container? If you properly dried it then you are less likely to experience a contamination problem like mold during the cure phase. Ideally you do want FAE with cure stage via burping, etc., but an absence of that over 4 weeks, after a proper dry period, shouldn’t ruin anything. Jar it up, add a humidity pack if you can, and keep it in a dark, cool space with stable environmental conditions. The sugars will break down, the terpenes will become more complex, and you will have some tasty buds to enjoy when you return. Good luck

C-Vault with humidity pads, good for long term storage

Hey I would use bovada packs at 62%. You can get them everywhere and even on amazon. They aren’t too much and you can put 1 ounce in a glass jar with one pack of bovada. I use them and I find they work great and haven’t had any mold yet. Happy growing

Make sure she is good and dry and vacuum seal it if you can, then put it in the fridge. I’ve kept buds for over a year this way with no problems. Do not freeze it unless your planning on making all of it into oil or rosin, otherwise you destroy your buds. The RH pack would work too I think. I’m pretty sure most of the weed legally sold in Canada where I live is packaged this way. They dry it popcorn fart dry in large amounts, then package the buds with the RH packs and seal them. They basically cure in there packaging as they go into the market. Cheers💨

If it is totally dry, you can leave it in jars. If it is still a bit "soft/damp" and you do not have any of the Bo-veda bags, put the jars in the fridge. Freezing your buds will destroy the trichomes and cellular structure of the buds too, leading to ruined buds due to the water in the cells freezing, expanding and bursting the cells. It should be ok in the fridge for one month. Hope this helps.... Organoman.

If you put it into jars and place a boveda patch in the jar. the Rh will be kept perfect for use and stop any over drying or mould forming if slightly damp. you could also use a freezer with and airtight tub to keep the terpenes active when needed

I'd say you put it either in a big jar with a big boveda 62% pack, or you put it in a jar with the lid slightly open, just enough for a little air exchange. it won't cure proper then, but still better than mould weed :)
