Re-Hydrating Over-dried Buds

Re-Hydrating Over-dried Buds

If you've only got household items, trying to re-hydrate buds afterwards is risky and probably not a good idea. Re-hydration increases the risk of mold, especially if using something organic, like an orange peel, do do the re-hydrating.

Boveda Humidipaks

However, there are specific products made for cannabis that can help re-hydrate buds to reduce the brittleness of over-dried buds, mainly Boveda Humidipaks (62% version) which can be placed in curing jars to bring the humidity back up to 62%.

If you're still in the early curing process, I recommend removing the Humidipaks once the buds are re-hydrated. While Humidipaks are good for long-term storage, some growers believe that they can hinder the curing process during the first few weeks, or at least reduce the taste/smell benefits. It hasn't been proven either way, but just in case I think it's a good idea to avoid having Humidipaks in your jars during the first 4 weeks of curing, except as an emergency way to re-hydrate your buds.

Now I will walk you through a step-by-step process so you can produce a professional cure every time, with no guesswork involved.
