I put them in the jar I got three mason jars out of the one plant minus the slack half ounce we took out post dry with the hydrometer reeds 50% humidity with 66 degrees Fahrenheit within two of the mason jars the final and third mason jar reads 55% humidity with the same Fahrenheit 66° today right now is technically reading a good humidity should I leave it for the first day or so of jarring and then put the Bolivia packs in I always thought once you acquire desired RH you then put the Bolivian pack in but I've never achieved a 50% humidity before jarring I acquire the Mist humidifier which helped out big but yeah that's my question should I leave them without the Bolivia pack for the first week of being in the jar should I put it in right now because it does say 50% humidity

Also with the humidity achieve 50% RH already I still proceed with the normal curing process correct burp twice a day for the first week or do you burp once a day for the first week and then once every couple of days the second week

If you're truly already at 50% RH, cure window has largely closed. Wait a while and see if RH rises in closed jar.
If its still only 50% a day later, you've reached the storage stage.

Thanks for the info did I mess anything up because I had the opportunity at 60% to jar them but I didn't for the simple fact that when I try to break a butt off of the little stamp it wouldn't break off I had to really pull and yank and then it kind of peeled snapped they've been in the jar since I posted the comment relatively close to that time frame maybe a couple hours after the fact and one jar is at 57% and the other two jars are steady 50% 51% but today is day 9 of dry process day 8 I removed the buds from the dry net proceeded to cut the buds off of the branch I let the buds fall into the cardboard box while I was manicuring after every Branch was manicure I then put a humidity pack in the container and let it sit with 65 Fahrenheit Waze between 55 and 60% humidity but they've only been in jars for about no more than 3 hours if that and I was wondering should I put a Bolivia pack in it now or wait till tomorrow

Is this bad? Do i hurry an throw pack in there...i thought the goal was to reach that RH...was it too fast?..9 days? Am i screwed or im still in good shape just proceed normal?

I wouldn't be too concerned, add a humidipack if desired. You just dried a little too fast, it will still be fine.
Takes notes to help guide you next run

I still got for plants left I have Moon King that's technically today could be considered the last day flush all the plants left in the grow tent I technically their last day of flush and then I'll leave it for 2 days with the lights on and then 48 hours in the black room and then I'll start the dry process I was actually surprised the last check on the cardboard box was 63% and I was like air I can get it a little bit lower when I came back it jumped to 55% I've already Smoke Two Joints I'm trying to show pictures but I can't figure it out but yeah I got the moon tank Sour Diesel sweet island skunk and then another lemon sour diesel the one that is in the jar right now is lemon sour diesel but nine days to acquire 50% humidity is bad I appreciate all the input because I have a 24/7 Pro station and I'm trying to debate if it's worth it my electricity bill to grow 5 plants at a time like a hundred and twenty bucks just for the grow station a month

I'd skip the 48 hour light cycle nonsense but I'm sure it won't hurt anything at that stage.

Are you referencing the 48-hour blackout or are you referencing when I commented I will feed the plants the last flush and then from the moment I given the plants that last feed a water there's no need to wait 48 hours I usually flush the last day and then wait 48 hours before I put the plant in the blackout room for another 48 hours I only do that cuz I feel like a day or two days after the last feed with the lights on helps the dry out process I could be wrong but I found that like I said when you flush the last day let it sit for 2 days in the grow tent before you put it to the blackout room so what step are you saying is irrelevant from what I could gather you're basically stated it was pointless but wouldn't hurt.? up to speed with the three mason jars full of lemon sour diesel one jar is at 5650 7% humidity while the other two jars are steadily 50% to 53% the two jars stay within that range the third jar has stayed at 5657 RH

Now I'm confused I always thought it was mandatory after you finish your growth cycle before you chop it down you let the plants it in blackness no lights on for 48 hours then when the 48 hours is up you proceed to cut the branches and dry the buds I can't remember the exact date but the lights have been 1212 for a while now like I said I always thought when the growth cycle was done it required to be in blackout for two days before you start the dry process so you're saying as soon as my flushes complete there's no need to let it sit in Black for 2 days directly after the flush I can hang dry

Okay thank you I was always told that you needed to have two days a blackout before chopping that being said update it's still the same 3 mason jars full one jar reads 56% humidity while the final two jars steadily staying at 5150 2% RH I smoked a couple joints I got high just like as if I went to The Dispensary I'm just mad at myself because I'm just mad at myself because I Pei Wei I thought the whole goal was to acquire a certain RH now I'm going to make sure I jar them up right at 62% I only didn't do that for the simple fact I was scared I was going to mess it up because when I went to pull a butt off of the stem it didn't snap off it snap kind of peeled off the stem I'm using voice to text I hope you can catch my drift that being said I'm going to hit the remaining plants with another gallon of water today and it will be 10 days of flushing a gallon of water every other day what I usually do a half a gallon and then I'll come back and give it another half a gallon just so it's not a puddle all over the floor if I'm doing something wrong somebody else time in I'm tired of wasting time energy and money

I recently had a grow where I also over dried to low 50s % RH after jarring. I tossed a boveda in and it improved noticeably over a few months. Still not as good as my best efforts but pleasantly surprised in the end. Its not much different than the stuff that was jarred at ~ 63-65% and properly burped for a few weeks.

Its important to note that even the over dried weed ended up being excellent. Its far better than what's available at local
dispensaries.
Also, you really need to wait a minimum of a few weeks, preferably longer to evaluate your buds. They'll improve substantially over time; less cut grass, more dank.

No its not needed. out in nature does the sun go down for 48 hours no it doesnt. Darkness is a myth like putting a nail in the stalk for more trics or freezing your roots
