You would mostly find food in the fridge. It would take a few minutes to find it to tell the truth. LOL

Well, I sped ahead to here to add my opinion and it’s good. I’m about 2 weeks or so into curing about an ounce or two in a bag and I have 4 bags going. Much better than jars.
I’d like to invest in more. I’d like to have some large ones for storing longer term. Great product imo, so far. Very pleased at how the terps seem to be preserved better.

So, another Grove Bag convert? Maybe.

Yep! Up to what I can afford, lol. Last year, the only year I ever harvested 10 lbs. of dried weed, I also had a broken leg and it all dried out too fast cause I couldn’t keep up… Still okay, but not like the bags. I don’t think I’ll ever try to get 10 lbs again, lol… it was all work.

Until the law changes and we can grow what we want I’ll never grow that much at one time.
I hate my plant count but it’s better than many other states offer. Still, it would be nice to help more people with their medical needs and at the same time giving a noogie to big pharma.

Just ordered 8 of the 1/2lb window bags. Excited to try these out along side some jars for comparison. Now im just waiting for some buds to harvest. The waiting is the hardest part.

I MUST suggest grove bag users get those oxygen absorbent packs and add to each bag, I’m noticing this helps immensely to prevent mold. I won’t be screwing around. Like @MoBilly said ‘it will mold before you can say mold’ and I think these are the answer to prevent it when fresh, later won’t need but definitely better to add as preventative so there’s no horror show dumping the bag out

If it goes onto the bag at 58/60% shouldn’t be any risk of mold . I’m not using grove bags just vacuuming them at 58% and don’t have any issues.

Brother, there’s a learning curve to the bags from going slow dry in a jar, some of us finish drying in the jar when humidity is lower, so it doesn’t work the same, but oxygen absorbent packs can allow the same method to be used. Just throwing out ideas, that’s all.

I’m just not a fan of the humidity packs I’ve found they mess with the terps to a certain point if kept in with the buds for a extended period of time .

No, not Boveda or that stuff, like silica packs or desiccant to ABSORB O2/extra moisture😉

Its not any different that any other time. Just have to make sure they are dry. 14 days or 21 days dry. Cure is going to be the cure.

I’m curious to see someone document these in big grove. On just what happens. Interesting not sure needed if you dry completely.

See that’s the problem, each drying environment is different and depend on other influences, such as weather and insulation. I’m DRY in 7 days, so that time is far too long in my conditions. Each person has to adjust for their conditions.

Yes, it is. I harvest out in my shed in Oct. Usually humid and cold. 14 days with 6 inch fan blowing on the opposite wall. Sometimes a little longer plus I leave them in an open basket for another 3 days rotating the pile.
I do roid a little bit I will dump the 1 lb grove out into the weathertite tote a couple times the first 6 weeks and look through for any mold. I didn’t find any.

Right, the occupants of the house I live in don’t like cold AC, so they turn it off and raise temp up to 74-75. All the rain coming through the mid-Atlantic drove humidity sky high, up to 60% and that’s what caused the mold, because it’s fallen by 20% now that it’s passed.

I hang dry whole plants, not diced, not wet trimmed, in ~75 degrees Fahrenheit and 60% RH all day long and never a spot of mold at those conditions. Could cure on the hanger in those conditions perpetually. Left a plant there for 68 days and no mold, no different than taking it out of the jar. Better actually.
I don’t see mold unless RH is 80+%. Like when I was just without power for 5 days. 88% RH and 75 degrees and… only one plant got any mold at all in those conditions. Checked with a SM-4TZ-144A trinocular microscope with 20x optical lenses and a 3x Barlow objective lens.
Ideally you want 60 degrees Fahrenheit so as to not dissipate the terpenes but yeah, ~75 degrees and 60RH is no issue at all for a 10-14 day dry.
I don’t burp jars either. Hang till dry, put in jar or grave bag. Profit.

The Grove bag requires that you get the buds dried close to 58-62%rh before storing it. You need a few cheap Hygrometers to add to each bag before leaving it to cure. Then, the bags will hold that RH for the length of the storage. Good luck. I’m having great luck so far.

Low temp and low humidity both are deterrents to mold. Again the fridge is a fudge factor.
I am going to speculate that if the humidity is lower outside a Grove bag that it would increase the transfer rate from inside the bag until the barrier limit is reached.
I in no way am advocating putting up the ‘horse in a lather’ Just using available tools.
