I don't believe it is truly wood. Wood like yes.
Moisture meter recommendations?

I'm guessing not a meaningful distinction. The meter measures electrical resistance between 2 points. Now I'm going to have to measure the moisture content of copper wire!

I just measured a (what I would consider extremely dry) stem from my dirty bench and it read 13%

Then it's ready to jar!
I harvested plants. Broke them down and ran them through my trimmer and spread them in mesh to dry. I sampled lots of buds with the meter every day. They started out at around 28% and dropped every day. When it hit 12% I jarred at which point I started monitoring relative humidity inside the jar instead of internal moisture content. What do you think Grove used to determine optimum moisture content for bagging/jarring buds as opposed to relative humidity in a closed container?

This is the one I have. I never used it to measure weed but I will be checking it out, thanks for provoking me to learn something new .
Mine was a little pricey but pretty spot on.

A bunch of bullshit. This is at 14%..........it's been sitting there for a while. It's extremely dry.
Cannabis is a bast fiber, similar to linen therefore it is cellulose based so a wood moisture meter should work just fine.

I should be finding out soon if that's true. I'm doing my initial run (with bread) to do a break in and cleaning run to make sure any chemical offgassing isn't absorbed by cannabis.

I guess all those buds of mine sitting in jars reading 60% are ruined then. Try your meter on a fresh cut branch and tell me what the moisture content is. Yes, your dry branch is dry. Calm down.

What are you doing with a freeze dryer? And can I come over and make my own backpacking food?Cannabis is a bast fiber, similar to linen therefore it is cellulose based so a wood moisture meter should work just fine.

First real run:
Unfortunately someone got into the Jelly Beans!! So it's off to the store for that and two more types of candy, next run is flower. I gotta get some jerky running
