I have a buddy that grows some really good North Lights. Occasionally he overdries it. Until I got the bags, I would pop a small piece of celery in the jar. Since I have gotten bags, and we traded some NL for my GFOG, I put his in a bag with a meter and it was at 42%. Popped some celery in it, got it back up to 60% and pulled the celery. 1 week later his weed tastes, smells and smokes so much better. I do not toot other horns often but do give credit when due and these folks hit a homerun with these bags.

So i read on the grove bag site to use the moisture meter on the stem near the bud. Others here seem to be doing it in the bud instead. I notice the stem is reading much higher than the buds. Something like 25% for the stem and 18 ish for the bud. Just wondering if you guys ran into this and what your thoughts are.

Thats interesting as one of thier reps told me in a conversation (about 1.5 yrs ago) test the bud NOT the stem. Maybe they have revised thier advise???

Maybe. Guess Iāll check both until i know different. Seems like checking the bud it working for people here.

Logically speaking i think test the buds as they are what im drying, not the stems.

Tips for curing with Terploc
- Invest in a moisture meter: for an accurate moisture read during the dry process, stick the stainless steel pins into the flower stem.
I think if you consider old school small stem break and sticking the moisture meter all over you will get something correctā¦

Hi guys!
We have some new blogs about this specifically! You can check our guide about long-term weed storage here, which talks about grove bags!
You can also check our guide about burping weed here.

I know this is an old post, but how long would you leave the bag open for?

Iām fairly new to this, but Iāve only used grove bags. Id say it depends how much higher youāre talking. If its 65 or so Iād open for a couple hours a day until in range. But if much higher than that you may need to dry it more before bagging itā¦donāt want to lose all that work to moldš³

Appreciate this! My humidity was at like 70% so I ended up taking the buds out and putting them in a paper bag for 8 hours. Humidity dropped to 45% then put them back into a grove bag. Been sitting at 63% for 24 hours now.

That is exactly what I do. If too high, sweat em in a box or bag. This guy helps to determine the right internal moisture to return 58-62% in the groves. Shoot for 10-12% with the prongs stuck in the bud and when you have that, they will maintain the right RH% in the bags to cure without opening or sweating.

Found this through grove bags site. seems you try and get one leg into the stem and the other into the bud. dry it to 11% give or take and bag it up in cool dark place.

I bought a wood moisture meter awhile back and went to use it today on an auto I had drying for 5 days. I couldnāt get a % on it, but saw a 8% for a second. The stems bent, but no snap and the buds felt really brittle. I trimmed them up and threw them in a grove bag today. Will see what the hygrometer says in a day or two.
