If your drying environment never left like 59% RH...

...would you still need to jar for your cure?

Or could you just leave them hanging in the drying area and collect in a month?

What am I missing here? Constant oxygen exposure could cause trichome breakdown too fast maybe? (Or are they okay as long as they're in the dark?) Even though when you burp you're still collecting fresh oxygen each time anyway? Or does the curing process eat up the oxygen somehow, so the limited amount of oxygen in the jar is "used up" between cures? I would imagine that a ferment based process would, but that jar curing would not...? In which case the oxygen exposure would be comparable when open hanging, no?

This is just theoretical, as I don't have the means to control my RH precisely. Just a cheap ultrasonic to help when too low... but no sensor on it to maintain a level. I am at the whim of the seasons for the most part. (Winter is one dry bitch...)

But curious as to whether or not it might be an effective cure with a lot less work, assuming you had the ability to maintain the RH.

change in Rh
its smoooth
and even smoother the more you SPOIL it
try token her in 6-9 months from now ....
dude even your toe nails curl at the range

While oxygen will degrade THC, it is also necessary for the plant to continue respiration so it can burn off the remaining starches and sugars.

That being said, putting in a jar does more than just maintain humidity. It also retains the terpines better, which tend to evaporate in air.
