I found paper grocery bags might chuck the buds in the bags after drying to sweat some more and throw humidity gauges in there before grove bags. Make sure I'm at 62%, big harvest not enough jars I'm cheapo
I'm female :) So I acquired canning jars early :) otherwise I'd definitely go with Grove bags. I think that's a smart way going forward for anyone that doesn't can food. It's also how I justified my freeze dryer. I also use it for food. Ok ok and candy. I'll confess. Until you've eaten freeze dried skittles as your munchy you haven't lived!

PS I've used grocery bags too. They are great for slowing down your drying just enough.

How has the freeze-dried herb been weeks/months after the dry? Very nice how flavors are locked in the buds, just wondering how long it stays that way. Thank you!

Edit: using a tent to hang dry with an ACI controller set to keep humidity stable while slowly dropping (-1%) over ~2 wks has given better/lasting flavors over using a box to dry. The constant slow air exchange helps a lot.
I want to do something similar, could you go into more depth on this process and controller settings. Thanks
