We don’t lose them, they’re just waiting in the bottom of the jar for us

True. The only time I’ve ever cleaned a jar has been before putting it into service. I’m probably sitting on a goldmine.

I give it away to my friends. I still have a long way to go with the trimming, the most tedious part of growing.

Day 10 or 11 of hang dry, i clipped these buds, put in mason jar for 6hours. Hygrometer is reading 56%. That means everythings ready for the grove bags right? Or even really too dry already?
What’s your word on this @FirstCavApache64

I’d get em in the bags asap. I don’t usually check with a hygrometer anymore, it’s just at the point of stems snapping and I go with how they feel when doing the final trim. I’m sure they’ll do great in the bags. Grove recommends sealing with a heat sealer but I don’t have one so I just zip em up and put them in a cool dark closet or safe.

Ok here’s another “JAR” question. If the humidity is already under 60% on the day you jar it. Do you still need to burp it?

Same here. I have been using 1/4 and 1/2 lb bags. I open carefully, and do not heat seal. I don’t smoke out of the bags, I will pull some buds into my stash tin or jar, and put the grove back in the cabinet. Never had a problem with the seal breaking in any way.

I don’t. I may open it for a quick sniff but burp no.

I ended up getting these ones recently, and they were horrible. Reviews looked ok, but only 4 of 12 were accurate. Some were WAY off. And I see no way to calibrate them. So I can link what ones not to get. Amazon.com

Thanks for the heads up. Yeah I figure that many for that price, something ain’t right
Just reading through this…lots of interesting ideas and approaches.
I use a combo of jars and bags.
Jars I burp by taking the lid off, waving it around to circulate some air, and then put the lid back on.
For the ziplock bags, I open them and kind of do the same thing, wave them around for a bit and then reseal.
I have a dozen of the small black hygrometers, so I toss on into the bags and let them sit while I continue to trim. Sometimes I have a bag that’s too dry, like 55%…so I’ll take a fresher bud that I’ve just trimmed and put it in that bag. After a few days, the humidity is right at 62%.
I take all of my plastic bags and put them in a big plastic storage tub, which sits on the floor in a closet.
And yeah, I give almost all of it away. No one in this house smokes. DW does enjoy a small piece of fudge just before dinner, and my neighbor loves my fudge and caramels, so I probably make about 2-3lbs of butter, which uses 3-4oz of herb. And that’s it for “local” consumption. The rest I give away.
Year before last I gave away around 2 pounds. Last year I was doing some breeding, so didn’t have a huge harvest. This year is another 2 pounds.
I was going through the freezer looking for some hamburg, and came across a bag with some Wedding Cake butter in it, that was from 2021, I think. Gave that away the other night when someone stopped by.
I just like growing 
My favo so far has been Blackstrap Molasses, but sadly, the member that sent them to me is no longer around, and I got too busy to reverse one of the plants, so no more seeds. That strain made beautiful purple buds and had a great smell.
I keep meaning to grow a few really big photos outdoors, just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Maybe this coming year,.
