First week in jars you should be burping them a few times a day and less as weeks go on week 2 maybe every other or third day after 4 weeks once a week to gass them off

ahh, forgot about temperature... and RH % without temperature is useless information... mid-60s F will be good. i said 55-62% only due to available products... if you can maintain 52% that is no problem either. might be a bit on dry side, but it will be fine. Certainly won't be dust when broken up, which is the important part for rolling. 2-way just gives piece of mind... if things go in a bit early, it can absorb some weight slowly until you unseal it. Keep sweating it out of the buds... seal it back up.. buds reach new equilibrium... too wet? open up again... if not just burp and be confident that's all you gotta do from there on out.

stems, snap, probably ok. a little jiggle and the should bounce around fairly freely, yes. you'll feel they are quite dry on outside when you put them in (when stems snap). After 24 hours check on them. if they get too soft or moist on outisde again, you leave the jar unsealed for a while. Seal it back up and rinse and repeat again tomorrow. The last few percent of moisture should be while curing. (down to 8-10% when done or something like that... there is still some moisture content when done, if done right, or it will just crumble to dust) a 2-way humidity pack gives great room for error. It can absorb and dispense water vapor. it will maintain a 55-62% RH, depending on which pack/brand you buy. Anything in this range is great... personal preference for how much moisture remains. It has limits... so if you put it in too wet, it can only absorb/release so much... you still likely have to leave a jar open occasionally if a bit too wet to start even while using 2way humidity packs. You need to burp during this process... replensish O2 so you don't grow anaerobic bacteria, which is what stinks like pickles or other odd and foul smells. Once curing is done, don't need to burp as often, but should do it occasionally. Some of the finer points i'm still working out... at what point can i set burping to 1/week? etc... but the outline is solid, i think, if you ever scale up, fine a way to automate the burping proces... a few jars is one thing.. .24-48+ is just fucking ridiculous. check out the guy with the auto burping system using 5-gallon buckets with gamma lids on youtube... easy to extrapolate from there.

Shaking your jars will just cause the trichomes to fall off, so I would definitely advise against doing this. BoVeda packs make life so much easier...... However, your buds will be fine at 52%, if that is an accurate meter. Your buds should be a tiny bit soft, not crunchy and if so, all good. If they are squishy, just leave the lid off for 12-24 hours to get them to dry out a bit more. If you packed the buds in tight, they will stick together anyhow, so forum schmorum.

Ok, you need to get your humidity to 62% which is easy to do with Boveda packs because that's what they are designed to do... no need for meters inside! ... just put one of them in each jar. Every day, open the jar and shake the contents up (this is called burping)... if they all stick together, get them out of the jar into say a pie pan or something and then put them back in putting the Boveda pack back in. Do this for at least a month and you'll be fine! Easy peasey...

use boveda and be happy

I like to cure between 58 and 62% relative humidity. In your case I would get a small piece of paper towel. Wet it and stick it to the bottom of the lid. Continue burping as normally done when curing. You may find that you have to re-wet the paper towel several times to get the humidity up into range. Then depending on how long you cure you may need to wet it to maintain the humidity though once you get the plant to the proper humidity it tends to stay there and only slowly dry out during curing.

Hmmmm, RH meters in closed jars. These meters are simple and run hand in hand with temp. If you small stems are snapping but not completely breaking, and the main stems mostly bend then it's ok. If you over dried it you can get 2 way RH packs to bring some mostiure back into your buds, overdried weed can be fixed once it's not bone dry, and its not by the sounds of it. Are you sure it's dry enough? They really shouldn't be sticking together. I had a super Super sticky CBD after 1 month cure 80% of that stickness is gone. It's super dry, much drier than when I put it in, the stems nearly completely break but there is still a bit of bounce back in the bud.

All you need to do is open the jar daily and move the jar so the buds move about. At 52% Humidity you won't get mould.

Even fully dried and cured weed can compact and stick together. If it's been sealed for 24h and your getting 52% you over dried the buds and they won't cure properly.

i think you should come to at least 62%, so keep it in the jar for some time. if it goes over 70% put them to dry again for few hours. on the first week i pull them all out every day look and put them back in. check your humidity checker they are not on point, recheck with the one you use in tent.
