Please refer to the first post in the thread, and post back if you have questions.

So what exactly is happening during the cure process? Obviously drying, but is the Chlorophyll being degraded? Smells like old hay right now.
I like to take a cured oz or so from each harvest and seal in a bag with my Food Saver and then store it in my freezer. What should the RH be for long term cold storage? 55%?
Great thread, Simon. Simple effective and measurable. What more could ya want ?!? I vote Sticky too.
As you've said the Caliber III is excellent. For those that have several jars or need in multiple locations. I would suggest getting 1 Caliber III and then look at theses: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1J9EM23S2FZTKEA6V4R3
They are very accurate and can be calibrated if you ever need. In fact, you can calibrate w/ the Cal III or calibrated separately to double check all. (EDIT: You don't need the Calibration kit. Google to find simple and quick methods.) Don't let the picture fool you; the size is really about like a silver dollar. I've used them for a long time and have been happy w/ them --- kinda cool classic look as a bonus.

Make sure you calibrate them... I've had similar hygrometers and they were junk.
Agreed. I'd be careful with an analog hygrometer. The ones I tested weren't reliable. This isn't to say that a good analog hygrometer can't exist.

I think the same can be said of digital ones. Most are junk...
I had my bud hanging for 5 days at 70%RH and 70F. slow air circulating. Looking good.
Did a final trim yesterday, put into 1/2 gal mason jars with the Caliber IIIs. Was surprised to see 84%RH at 54F. The jars are loose filled, and only 3/4 filled.
I left the jar tops 1/2 covered overnight, and RH is 83% this AM. Still 54F and dark.
It's winter and not too worried about mold, and have tried to bring RH down slowly.
1. Should I continue with the jar top off method and watch until RH is below 70%?
or
2. Should I dig out all that sticky bud (ugh) and place on a sheet to dry openly for a day?
I hate to disturb the bud at this point, but don't want to ruin it.
Thanks,
Im just amazed at how simple and clever this is.. How did u come up with the idea.. or where did u see it?
