Should I still burp the jar if the air outside it has greater humidity?

Normal room humidity is 75%. I managed to reduce humidity in the jar with a bag of rice and brought jar humidity down to 55 - 65%. Should I still burp even though the buds will be exposed to higher humidity?

Im still new but the only thing you want to avoid is getting your nugs WET because they will mold. As long as you dont get any condensation you should be good to go. Like if there is a temperature difference. Other than that get another rice thing you used and put it on top to cover the jar. Maybe a small fan.

burping will be counterproductive if the room you are in has a higher humidity.

Thank you for this! I think the rice is working a little TOO well. Jar humidity is 45%.... I read that 60% is ideal. Might burp it very quickly to add some humidity from outside air.

Yes you should still do it. The burping is for air exchange that is needed to accomplish your goal. Stagnant air is your enemy during this process. You need fresh air, so does whats going on in the jar. Without the air exchange you will get anaerobic activity that you do not want. There will be bad smells and problems with mold. Burp the jars please.

Thank you for this advice, will burp away!
