Burping during curing

[ohlordyeah_420]

so burping the jars is an attempt to let any excess moisture we don't want in the jars to evaporate, right?

But surly (and I may be totally wrong) you're just allowing the contents of the jar to get to the same humidity as the environment youre burping the jar in.

It came to me during the downpour today as someone said the humidity today is 78%. If I opened my jars and left them in that environment they'd get more moisture not less.

Have I missed a point or is someone more science minded going to explain to my brain what we should be doing?

Just a point for discussion really.

Good question, I have been wondering the same myself as I've been burping mine.
I'm sure someone here will be able to help

yea man when they're curing those buds are like sponges and will take on moisture :) when burping you're not really releasing moisture but more exchanging the stale air for fresh. Microlife is at work and consumes gasses.

lurking as its a recent interest for me

Seymore is bang on as you open the the jars you can smell the gases coming out then after a while you will smell ya lovely weed
id say it takes a good month for a nice Q

Mr nice input.............quick exit now..............LOL

Seems right. Be awesome to find some real science on it. I’d guess what’s breaking down in your weed during the curing becomes gaseous and you burp it to release that and allow in fresh air to do some more breaking down, but I have no freaking clue. Ha.

Yeah, I’ve never had to worry about burping them in high humidity, but I’m a worrier and wouldn’t want to or I’d be stressing the whole time about my weed. I’d either throw a Boveda in there, so that it would get that humid air back down, or maybe burp them in the fridge. Someone smarter than me will know if that works, but refrigerators are pretty dry environments.

this melted my brain and kinda opened more questions

the vid is 1:20 but the presentation is only like 40 mins



would really like to hear peoples take on the information in the vid to go along with the discussion

I don't really burp per say. I dry it slow and cool in the 45f 55F range and jar it when the feel is right to me. Sticky to the touch but burns easily when broken up for a joint. Then into canning jars I use a vacuum jar sealer super light just to when it gives you that "pop" when you open and store in a cool dark place. I'll open 1 as smoke is needed or occasionally just to check and it's always sticky and burns easily, if anything the strain smell gets somewhat stronger over time.
