I get the idea of slowly drying the harvest. I don't think I've achieved a cure, though.
it's far more humid here than back home, but the harvests dry very, very quickly.
this most recent harvest dried to the touch in less than two days. I put the buds into a canning jar with my newly acquired Calibre III 12 hours later, they were moist, again (76%). I hung them back up for about 12 hours and they were quite dry.
I put them back into the jar I and RH is 61-62% and has been for several days, almost a week. in the jar, I can hold them at whatever RH for whatever time period, it seems.
lots of nice charts out there advising the RH for the process but nothing about how long to hold them in what stage.
come to think of it, there is no 'final' RH mentioned. when I pop a bud out of the jar, it seems to re-moisten a touch in ambient RH of 50-60%. my dry basil, oregano, etc. stays dry; my smoke does not.
what am I missing here?
