Curing In Grove Bags, Ideal Temp

Hello! So i'm about to bag up my weed into Grove bags, it's currently drying at 60 RH, 60 Fahrenheit but my drying area is about to turn into my vegging area...

So my question is, can I raise temperatures to about 77f and keep the grove bag full of weed in the same room without noticeable degradation while it cures?

I know 60f is perfect but realistically will it make much difference, 60-80f jumps in temp once its sealed?

Ok so in your oppinion, there is a noticable difference, I couldn't have answered my own question cause I don't know the answer. Will as usual await a few opinions! I see elsewhere guys saying only certain terps evaporate at 70f, and it's safe to go higher...

there is some truth to that, monoterpenes are more volitile and flare off easier then sesquiterpenes but either way best to store buds cool and dark

is that why my old bud smells like pepper, lemon or mint....it might have smelled like green apples, sandle wood, the funk, etc initially. i have had bud that smelled the same for 3 years and other that shifted a lot. i have storage cases where i used to keep weed 20 years ago that still smell like black pepper.

could be, its kinda like a ipa beer, when its fresh its bursting with fresh hoppy aroma and flavor, if you let it age some of the hoppy compounds will degrade and other flavors from the malts come forward.

I’m assuming this is before it’s fully cured right?

35 years ago when we all were toking Mexican brick weed I know for sure that they weren’t keeping it cool while they shipped it nor were we while we smoke our way through it

Mini fridges suck humidity out due to the compressor. Get a thermoelectric wine fridge, they don’t drop humidity near as fast. I dry and cure in mine, but have added a dehumidifier and controllers to it.

I have a thermo wine cooler... Still seems to be lowering it. Not sure if it's cause I've packed it so tight! Have a bigger one coming tomorrow.

Yes, I made mine for under $350. Very easy, just get a thermoelectric wine fridge, a small dehumidifier also thermoelectric but I think those all are, and a humidity controller. Drill a hole in the back of the wine fridge to run the temp probe and dehumidifier power through and reseal, drilling the smallest hole you have a bit for. Once sealed your done. Mine drains into the fridges factory drain channel, I did remove all the casing from the dehumidifier to save space.

i suck at construction and mechanics....can i just hire you to do one for me? lol. i wondered if anyone had tried this. i will have to work this out with my handy bros. if you could figure out how to do it cheaply, there is a pretty large differential from 350 (maybe double for labor) to the price of a canntrol.

I guess your happy with the results you get? DIY seems the much smarter option. how long have you been using it, assuming you still do? Do you have a basic go to setting or adjust through the process. Any operating tips or cautions?
I really appreciate the info you shared already, think it saved me overspending. Thanks
Sorry, missed the later post about google.
