You do not need Boveda packs to cure or dry your buds. They are a OK Band-Aid, if you over dry and need to put a little pep in their step, but I wouldn't bother with those. When I first started curing my own buds three years ago, I had those little black individual hygrometers. Total waste of money cause they are inaccurate. I do use the one hygrometer, but it's one that's actually accurate and I used to check all my jars instead of individual meters constantly monitoring with different readings. After doing it so many times I use my intuition and experience more than anything when deciding when things are dry, or if they need more time. If you need to get some bud, that's already cured as a reference.

If is fat buds start at 5O percent first 3 days them bump it to 60 percent humidity the remainder and 64 degrees.should finish 9-14 days. Dry trim in same enviormwnt test a bud and if it smokes jar it up with a reliable hygrometer. After a few hours Should say 58-62 percent. If it for instance says 66 and the lip pops. The buds need to come out and into paper bags to finish drying and will spread the moisture out evenly. I find that Indica buds are better fresh and don't need much curing time at all whereas sativa's can be a little harsh at first and benefit from at least three weeks in the jar. Don't have to go crazy burping the jars. Like once a day the first week and they really should be fine by then, but if they still need more, maybe once a week after that.

they need to hang in a dark place with cool temps and low humidity. 60-70 degrees and 45-55 humidity with a fan causing indirect airflow. I do the whole plant so it makes for a slower process, shoot for 7-10 days then the buds go in mason jars with 58% Boveda packs in a dark cabinet that's 70 degrees. Wait for at least 2 weeks, preferably longer before attempting to smoke. I have 2 year old weed, usually always have a pound on hand, that is still moist and sticky and gets you high but no matter what you do the trichomes will naturally degrade over time. Keeping them like I do just slows down the process

I cut mine down. If I can trim her as a full plant I will do then just hang up in a darkish room doesn't need to be blacked out and keep around 60/60 temp/rh.. or take each branch off. Trim and hang up until the stem snaps and not bend and your almost there at this point. I would normally cut off the buds and put into a box closed and check back the next day and you will notice the inner moisture has spread out to the edges of the buds.. in this case leave the box open until they start drying out again. Close the box once reached the correct moisture level....gl

Ideally, you want mid 60F and 60% rh... a few degrees or a few percent rh not making too much of a difference. At this temp and RH, even trimming and individual buds on a mesh rack will take 10-14 days. You want 10-14 days. Do your best given the context. Based on what you describe, i'd start by hanging entire plants. The less you cut off, the slower it'll dry. Unless it's cold AF, it's almost certainly a fast drying environment. In addition to control temp and RH, cutting down to branches, cutting down to bud-sized, and wet or dry trim all impact rate of drying. Think of them as tools to mitigate less-than-ideal drying environment as best you can. Should be obvious which slow and hasten dry times. Circulation fans are fine, but don't point them directly at drying flower. You don't need much. I don't use a fan. i let my humidifier move the air.. it's a hefyt fan, though. I grow in the winter, so it's 30% RH ambient. It runs often. Buy a humidifier. They are cheap to buy and cheap to run. Don't buy the 'atomizer' type. Those leave a residue on surfaces. Evaporative humidifiers unfortunately use a wick. 2-weeks at a time will last many grows. Pick a small room to control the temp and rh as best you can. 15% RH is a desert. I rarely suggest it, but use a tent or enclosed space, especially if you don't buy a humidifier. Vent it to control resting RH. Inside a small room will still help. Still want some circulation so you don't grow mold. Don't completely seal it up. Vent at top. This may work for 3-5 days? Measure RH in a more congested area of the plant as best you can. Know the 'worst-case' scenario. and avoid anything 65%. boveda 2-way humidity control when you get to jars or however you store them. 58-62%. They give size to flower mass suggestions.

My approach is more basic than many growers would like. Because I'm in a low humidity area, with 15% ambient humidity. My drying technique is a bit different. I am hanging my plants for only 4 to 5 days. And then jarring them up to cure and watching humidity in the jar. I've been trying to keep my humidity in the jars roughly about 61-62%, not always the easiest, but when you have rain or high humidity, it's best to open them up to capture some of the humidity and replacing the oxygen with fresh air. BUT it's only my 3rd harvest. So take with a grain of salt.
