I'd leave them alone and keep on eye on the RH. If it keeps rising, even slightly, open the jars for about a half hour. If the RH remains constant, open the jars to take a whiff once a week. Sounds like your harvest is doing well.

Heres one for $6, the review said it was +3 off and only displays in c˚. Looks like a good deal http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.35061
I don't know... @ 1/3 - 1/2 the cost it's pretty appealing, I would hope you're buying a calibration product to go with your new meters. If they are off by a consistent amount at different moisture levels it would be easy to mark the meter and know what to look for. Maybe if you only have one jar to cure it'd be an easier decision to go with the caliber... but I'm going to have five jars, and I've only got a 400w.
One of the best threads of all time, Simon. Thank you for sharing it.
I'm using Xikars in ziplock produce bags and all the guess work is gone! I don't know if Xikar quality is on par with the Caliber IIIs, but they are smaller. About the size of a silver dollar.

They seem to fluctuate almost daily between $15 and $20.
thanks for the headsup on this site. anybody tried that $5 analog model? i like the idea of a small round one
RH is relative humidity. The meters run on batteries and measure the humidity inside a container, or did you mean something else?

hey simon, great thread! tons of valuable info here. bout a month out from my first harvest and i'm going to play around with this method when the time comes. Thank you for all the time and effort you put in here!
Just harvested an OG kush today and plan on testing this method of curing out. I love how it takes out the guess work. The only question I have is for some reason some of my buds already felt dry on the plant before I harvested. I just dont want to wait too long to put them in the jars. Here is a diary of my grow and some pics of the harvest https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?p=3476839#post3476839

Hi guys!
I recently chopped some Easyryder and dried them 4-5 days inside the grow chamber above the lights. They felt quite dry, so I put them into jars together with a hygrometer. But the RH never goes above 45%. Have I dried them too long?
Anyways, I let them sit in the jars for 3 days. Opened them yesterday and it smelled very funky.... Not very nice actually. But the smoke was good and potent as hell though!
Any ideas for what I can do? Do I need to open the jars every day to let in fresh air?
