What is optimal curing humidity ?

[Joker90]

Originally I though around 60+65 but have been reading more that 45-55 is a proper cure ?

First week, 65 degrees/60%RH.. Second week, drop your RH to 55. You should get a wood moisture meter from AMZ..they're cheap. Probe your buds at day 10 or so, and when you get a reading of 10-12%.... buck and jar.

60F/60RH

But you'll get a million different answers.

I think curing stops permanently around 55% so above that.

I’ve been having good results keeping my jars around 65% for curing but they smoke better if you let them dry a little bit more first.

basically keep a smaller jar to smoke out of that’s drier than the curing/storage jars.

I’ve stuck with BAS dry method which is 60% and 60F for 16 days

honestly never tried a different method but I haven’t had to cure any of my harvest while doing this method

60 °F
60% Humidity

I've cured with 65 °F/55% and had good results but your best results are going to be slowing the process with a nice temp around 60 °F and a humidity of around 60%.

I use a 4x8 grow tent and use a AC Infinity inline fan on a carbon scrubber to with the little probe to detect when humidity goes above 60% then it kicks on to exhaust the tent. You want some passive airflow so maybe a real small fan in the room or tent would be nice. Either that or consistent ventilation but it's hard to hold 60 °F / 60% when its like that.

Are we talking about drying or curing

I’m struggling to keep it above 45, cold air outside makes for low humidity inside

Try a Portacool evaporative cooler.. they work great. Got a mother room from 38% up to 72% and had to shut it down for a while.

I dry/cure mine out in my cold storage, it's 15C and 60%RH with minimal airflow. Acts like a room sized jar. 2 years ago i didn't even bother trimming, would just rip buds off the branches and pick off the leaves lol. Epic laziness

Thanks man I will look at it!
