The last two or three grows, not exactly sure, have not had any pressure on the jar when I go to burp them. Each of the grows have had at least two different plants, same thing with each plant. Smoke seams fine, but it just has never happened this way with every jar from the harvest - no pressure when you open the mason jar. Has anyone else experienced this, how frequent? I’m curious about things like this.
regards,
I don’t get pressure but I don’t burp. I shoot for the right humidity levels before they go into jars and I don’t have to baby them.
But I used to burp jars and never got any pressure. Did you jar them up too wet maybe? Random guess some kind of fermentation? I dunno man.
I have not burped a jar in may years now.
Like my esteemed colleague, Foreigner does, I just add an extra day of dry hanging , before I snip off the bud and jar them.
I’ll just add that what I do is have a ventless room and the humidifier keeps it all at 62% I think if it more as equalizing to the environment rather than drying per se. It could hang forever. 62 in the room, 62 in the jar, same deal.
Curing some platinum valley now. Was at 63 in the smell poof bag. Opened it up and it smelled like ammonia. Upon airing out, opening the bag for about 30 minutes, it cleared out most of the smell. A few more iterations and a another couple days its all good now. It had been about 60rh but after being closed for a week offgadssed a ton. Ive had less need to do this on drier buds ~56rh when jarred. It migbt creep to 59rh but not much need to burp.
I just posted this link in here: Curing in dry room? about burping/not burping.

You can hang them indefinitely if the environment is right. The one caveat is that in a small closed room filled with buds the humidity spikes. I just leave the door open until the buds themselves keep the humidity right, let them hang awhile, and then my humidifier kicks on until I feel like taking them apart.
I see why some people like grove bags. I don’t.
i do realized you said ‘right’, but when i keep my buds at say 58 for a long time in a tent, when take off the stem and jar, the rh won’t go above 55. If it’s sat at 58 for a shorter time in the tent, it might even go up in rh when jarred. wish i knew what was going on.
That’s interesting this too happened to me on my last run. The RH went up 2% when put in jars. But they were 60 before and 62 after so I’m not going to complain. But it is strange now that you mention it.
i’ve had it go both ways. i can say with certainty that if the ullage is greater the rh is lower on smaller vessels. so, if i need to shave off an percent or something, i just make the bag or jar bigger.
with tents, something else is happening.
I get it the other way around frequently.
I’ll have optimal environment, sample burns good, even went as fas as using a wood moisture meter. Yet I’ll still get jars that climb.
We all will have different drying times, IMHO.
My cut cycle, I like to remove each branch, remove all the fan leaf.
Not the flower leaf however.
I use a piece of chicken wire/poultry netting, for the word police.
Hang a bud in the wire loop, and fill it.
I do use fans in my grow, but up high, above my LED’s, for circulation. Each area, is being extracted also, so I got great air movement, with no actual blowing type of air movement, if that makes any damned sense.
The buds are jar quality dry in 4-5 days,
I lay them on a banker box top, remove any gregarious leaf, BUT I do not do a tight trim to mine. Snip all bud from stalk, into a mason jar.
The skinned buds, are the stuff of nightmares to me!
I hate to even look at them, personally.
They look pharmaceutical, like chemical pills, or something twisted and un-natural. Yuck!
But I’m a weird ass mofo at times, LOL!
I always end up burping my jars because prefer to start curing with a little extra moisture in the flowers so I can slowly over a few months get the dryness and texture levels but kind of depends on how you want to use it also. I’m strictly a joint guy and like buds to be more on the dry side of things when actually starting to smoke.
I figure remove the fan leaves and give them a little haircut and done 
No way I’m digging all the way in there with scissors.
up until recently I have always burped mine as well. I was under the impression that that was needed. everyone says to burp the jars, burp the jars, make sure to burp the jars x-amount of days. the (x) was often or sometimes a different variable, but to each his own? 
regards,
Nah, I bet it’s just measurement error. Those cheap hydrometers could easily be off by a few percent either direction and they are not consistently baised. Super frustrating if you’re trying to be precise.
Another thing is it helps exchange air when opened for a few minutes at least during first couple of weeks and for people like me that start to cure with a little extra moisture in the flower it’s helpful.
Im a lil late to the party, but the pressure in the jars is usually an elevation thing IME. Id get some jars at sea level fresh from Norcal, and you knew it was legit cuz all the jars would pop that first time.
I used to cure batches of 25-35 lbs every couple weeks, and if done right it makes a night and day difference. The thing is most people overdry the plants before dropping them into cure. And from the testing I used to get done, it’d notably lower the terps.
The trick to a perfect cure is take the plants down as soon as the small stems start to give, but not a full on dry snap. Then seal em up so theres a touch too much moisture to smoke. And burping 10 min a day for a week, then not touching it for 2 weeks will get it perfect pretty much every time, with just minor adjustments. Hope this helps, and best of luck
