I don’t like RH% packs while I’m drying or curing . I only use for storage.
I use gamma lids n 5g buckets ,then add the gauges, probably a lot easier to clean too.

You don't buy what he has there, you gotta make. 5 gal bucket, gamma lid, and drill a hole for a hygrometer. I use food grade silicone to seal my hygrometers. Not sure how @BigHornBuds sealed his?

How much dry weight do you think would be the max to put in a 5 gal bucket?
Prob fill about halfway, but just ball parking

Hard to say because buds differ. 1 pound per gallon seems in the ballpark

Same .
Also all RH% gauges are not equal. Some junk out there. I use ones meant for reptiles in aquariums . And cheap hearing aid batteries work good in them.
I don’t go into the buckets for about 5-7 days , (hang on the stem) I go in early, then watch the humidity, once it spikes , I’ll put on a rack till outside is dry agin , then burp & roll buckets, till stable.
Bout a pound 1/2 fill.

You want it “lose” to cure properly.

Aye, no burping needed, or only once in a while?

No still need to burp.
If the buds are packed together tightly, the centre of the mass could have higher humidity. Keeping them lose helps for an even dry & cure.
When they settle together, I’ll roll n gently shake, when RH goes above 65, I’ll burp.
If your burping to much, then put on a screen for a couple hours, then back into the buckets.

Why does your bud dry out in storage.
Before you answer keep in mind I spent 4 years sifting through shitty weed in az, watching growers blame it on humidity while I used the same resealable vaccs i always did and kept bud well over a year. I'm not gonna be entertained by some imaginary theory about water traveling through glass walls unless it's wrangled by brovida.

I’m not sure if it’s drying out or not.
Because it’s done good enough, then on to the next, can’t trim fast enough.
Just toss the packs in for insurance. Stems can poke a hole , didn’t seal it 100% , shit happens, n it looks good .
