I've been opening the jars a few times each day, they still feel pretty damp and when squeezing the bud it feels like its got a good bit of moisture or whatever or whatever in it. I just let the jars sit with the lids off just inside the flower tent after light out for about 20 minutes, the whole room/grow area exhausts through there and it seemed to take the moisture down a good amount.
While the jars were sitting in there I pulled out the petco hygrometer I had purchased as well as two of
these I purchased, the petco hygrometer was actually within 4-5% of the hygrometer I use in my grow area (see photo below) but both petsmart hygrometers were stuck at around the 60% mark (grow area hygrometer was showing like 30% when I first opened the tent). I adjusted one of them using the slot on the back to match the digital hygrometer so I'll see how it compares to the petco hygrometer now that they are back in the jars, I left the 2nd unit untouched and put it back in its own jar although now that I think about it i probably should have put it in a jar with one of the other two so I can see if the reading differs are not with higher humidity. Before opening the jars all 3 gauges were reading pretty high %.
I called a few local cigar shops and one of them had a digital hygrometer in 2 sizes but wouldnt tell me what the price was or brand, told me i had to come in and look at it. A few others only had analog gauges. I'll have to get some caliber III's only for the next harvest, I should have planned ahead for this one but dropped the ball.
