Mini Hygrometer

Description

The Mini Hygrometer is great for spot checking conditions in your growing area. Place them into curing jars to monitor their humidity and temperature or inside propagation domes. The Mini Hygrometer is a handy little unit taking the guesswork out your operations. Best of all, you won’t be breaking the bank.

Specifications:

• Temperature range: -50 – 70 °C Accuracy: +/-1 °C
• Humidity range: 10% – 99% Accuracy: +/- 5%
• Batteries: 2 x LR44 /  AG13 button cells (INCLUDED)

Used in conjunction with the device, Boveda Humidity Sachets can aid in controlling humidity inside storage and curing jars. TerpLoc from Grove Bags are also able to control humidity of stored or curing cannabis.

Curing Cannabis

Curing cannabis has many advantages and in some ways curing well is just as important as cultivating it well. The aim of curing is to remove most of the remaining moisture slowly. THC in your freshly harvested and dried bud is mostly still in another form, THC-A; so curing will increase potency. Over time, the THC-A will break down into psychoactive THC. Even though buds will feel dry to the touch, they still have a lot of moisture in them.

Place your freshly trimmed cannabis into air tight containers filling them only three quarters of the way. Leave them in a cool dark place and after 24 hours open the container for 5 minutes. Repeating this process is curing.

By doing this, relative humidity inside the container when closed will reach 100% quickly. This helps moisture to distribute evenly through the cannabis flowers. Introduce fresh, drier air into the container by opening the jar. Buds will then give out a bit of their moisture until air in the container reaches saturation again. This is curing and it should be practiced for a quality product.
