Need help with curing - grove bags

Basic Growing Info
#1

So I recently finished a run. Let everything g hang at 56-60RH and 68* for about 20-30 days. When most small stems would snap i bucked everything and put into grove bags.

Today for shits and giggles I tossed one of those cheap small rectangular hydrometers you can buy in 4 packs on Amazon into two bags. They’re sitting at 62% RH inside the grove bags. Is this safe? I had expected to see 60 or less as that’s what the room was at.

I’m worried about mold and such during long term storage in the bags.

62% should be perfect. Check out the Grove Bags thread. :v:

62 is perfect in my Humble opinion

Those hydrometers usually have an accuracy of 5% plus or minus also.

I’d say you’re in the sweet spot.

You can also burp them, just like jars, if you wanted.

This would have been more correctly stated as “The bags maintain…” .
What level a person puts the buds in is what they will stay. Maybe I should change that on my post. I wouldn’t want to mislead anyone.
Thanks for putting that link on @DougDawson . :+1:t5:

Just checked. I can’t change it. No biggie. It’s all pretty much in the thread anyway.

Mainly it’s being as compliant as I can with the rules set up for medical growing in Mo. If they ever get a notion to check up on me they’ll find no reason to bitch.
