Great Video Nate. I wanted to clarify on behalf of the Boost: The Boost product won't necessarily hold the target RH longer than the salts, but in many cases, it will still have the ability to hold some moisture long after other packs have dried out.
Took my Integra 62 67 gram right out of the pack and put it in with 2 humidistats that have read the same as 5 additional ones in my house. Stayed at 50% over 2 weeks, never even saw 60. 62% for storage, 57% in your smoking jar.
Man, for being stoners, some of you people are strung up pretty tightly. Chill out and maybe have another bowl. Anyway, thanks for posting this video, brother. It helped me out. I bought the Boost 55 packs, and am looking forward to some properly-hydrated weed this winter! Again, thank you.
You mentioned that some people say, Boveda takes away the smell in whole stored buds. I read somewhere, this is true, but for good reason. Boveda traps the terpene's in the flower with a moisture barrier and they are preserved there. Then when the buds are ground, the flavor and aroma comes out, fresh and strong. I just started using them, so can't say first hand if it works like that, but if it does, it's very cool.
Been recharging bovida for years!, don’t buy new !, get some scales and weigh it when you recharge with distilled water (only distilled!), for about three days in a sealed type container. Job done.
It's really quite simple. Take 2 containers, 1 big n 1 small. Fill up the small container with distilled water n put in big container. Put your dried out boveda in the big container and seal it. After a few days, take out the pack n weigh it, if its 60 grams, perfect. ✌🏼
I dont think they are meant to bring the humidity down from like 80%, they work properly when the herbs are added at around that humidity +-5% or so. Curing is best at around 60% and herb wont cure at 50% but ok to freshen up old dry herb up
in the lab, the glycerin absorbed moisture faster than the salts we tested. However, when rehydrating plant material, we felt a slower transfer would allow for the different plant structures to absorber at a more consistent rate which would help maintain structural integrity. Having said that, we use many different films for our products and if the industry wants faster, we can make it faster. Time will tell. What are your thoughts?
That’s too funny! Oh the irony. He said he put in two humidistats for his experiment. Those aren’t humidistats, they’re hygrometers. The funny part here is that products that he’s testing are actually the real humidistats! That’s great, and this guy sells these.

to be honest, for people claiming that Boveda change the smell and taste, you clearly havent use Integra long enough.... I had some integra in 5 different jars of 5 different strains, and after a month of storage, the 5 strains were smelling the same gross smell. No weed smell at all just garbage. the packs smells shit! thx Integra for ruining few zips.Had boveda in 5 others jars with the same 5 strains that I used in Integra, but the jars that I used boveda smell a bit less strong, but same good proper smell to the strain. sticking with Boveda
I disagree. I have tried both for a year or greater, and operating previously in medical cannabis dispensaries, and delivery services , and find Integra is a clearly better product for a few reasons. First, I have a sensitive nose and can't smell it on any of the 100s of jars ive had it in. boveda on the other hand. works fine for about 75/100 jars, but 25/100 leak smell of the pack it self. The boveda is a chemical salt (potassium citrate monohydrate) with water 20-50% RO water and 0-2 % xantham gum. Integra is a natural vegetable based gelatin+glycerin and water. As a grower who takes proper steps to dry and cure my buds, I don't use boveda at all any more and strongly advocate others avoid them as well. Maybe you don't have the nose to smell whats happening, but it leaves a stink in the jars and buds it touches that keen nose will not enjoy. Let the true terpenes shine and use nothing and naturally burp jars and cure to 62% on your own, or boost your buds with integra. my 2 cents. i got no dog in the fight, i purchased and used both, and I can't track down the ig posts, but ive heard growers with clean flower have their buds fail testing after being stored at dispensary using boveda, but not at others (flower was proven clean at multiple other outlets). Boveda is the more well known as it has been around, but integra is a great example of a new and improved product. no salts to be terp theives and no chemicals leaking out of semi porous *boveda patent* packaging into flower
Brett Goudy , cool, thanks for your opinion , I have both & was more happy with boveda but I noticed after a while the boveda jars lost smell quicker, so cause of that I think I will stick to boost.
Are you aware that you can reuse these? They will take much much longer to dry out if you add a RAW hydrating terra hydrastone in there from time to time. They may even be able to be used indefinitely I don't know. I can tell you I have softened up the 8gr Boveda's time and time again. Adding a mini hygrometer looks interesting I may have to try that.
+oneshotgrow The Integra packet is only a shade larger between 1/8 in to 1/4 inch, i just folded the seal side a tiny bit and it slid right into the CVault holder and is fine. :)
5:46 YES! they do mess with flowers quite badly. They seem to eventually diminish terpine levels. Proper curing (for now) MUST be done the good old fashioned way.
Lol that's bs why do dispensaries and commercial operations use them to cure then and I've done it with outdoor I've personally grown ... don't knock it till you try it
Most expensive cannabis in the U.S. comes with a little %55 boost packet. I’m using 62 boost to cure. They can’t bring %80 down to %62 RH though. And because there 2 way they can become more saturated with moisture. Always use a hydrometer to make sure your not getting into a moldy zone. Better to be a little dry than wet. Easy to increase moisture. Cannabis is garbage if too wet in jars. It will mould.
@@jordanramsden6288 use 6s every year but tried 55 this year the big ones for a pound I used each one in a big tote and it worked well and hey bring dry weed back to life quicker then wet weed dry but works both ways ive experienced it first hand I swear by these
The "red/blue" dot indicator on the Integra Boosts doesn't work (or I just got a bad Bunch)! I've used 30+ 55% packs. None of them changed. They work great tho (3-4 month lifespan)!😁 And that smell/taste quality with the Bovidas can be true, but that's after they dry up (I'd guess 5-7 months in complete storage). If you switch them up every 3-4 months you're good. He's right they both work perfectly fine!!!
@@jordanroberts2248 Thanks for the input! I actually ended up ordering both kinds of humidity packs. I first ordered the small Integra Boost packs and used them in my small jars of flower from the dispensary. After that I bought some of the medium sized Boveda packs and I've only used one of those so far. I really like them both!
@@schneir5 Yeah they're both amazing! The Integra were just a bit cheaper at the time, but have a bunch of Boveda from dispensaries. Have a nice stash from Covid built up, so I got an ammo storage container from harbor freight which has a nice silicone grommet seal Boveda metal pack holdere seal, got the little metal tray that holds em from Boveda, mounted it to the top. I feel Integra lasts a bit longer, like the gel, but especially love the included card that lets you know it's time for a new pack. I keep all my concentrate in a smaller pelican case which is ideal for storage/protection and not only silicone sealed, but also has an auto patented internal air release valve, which helps with all types of helpful features like floating and keeping all your stuff protected and dry, and crush proof as well. You can get models with locks. Harbor Freight also now has a new line of BEAUUUTIFUL different size/color Pelican case knock-offs, but they help up extremely well on comparison RUclips vids, so I do plan on getting one of the bit larger "suitcase"ish sized ones w/the pluck foam(included) to make a perfect cozy spot for my rig and banger etc.. and some storage under that for product and accessories, since the Pelican one I want is a few hundred $'s(worth it), but Harbor Freight dropped the big ones in safety orage and desert khaki and green, Highest model is around 50$ which is INSANE! But anyways, ya like they say in the vid, I'm pretty indiff on Boveda vs Integra, imma grab whatever the best deal is on at the moment! 😝 Drop in a 62% 4 or 8 gram into each 1/8th container right after purchase and usually within 48 hours I feel the nugs have returned to a perfect dank cure.. the ONLY thing I use 58% for is stuff I've already ground, that's in my ever rotating container of pre-ground or me ground, 58 seems perf for getting rolled up.. Everything else stays at 62% keeping them nugs fresh and terpified! The dispensaries used to give you the packs or they were already in your 1/8th which I loved cuz its all dry now, so why not toss in a pack and improve your product again like before? Lol
@@davidjuchelka7442 if you buy flower from a dispo, you put a 62%(they go by weight, I usually buy the 20 or so packs of Integra 62% RH. Ebay is the best just pay attention to weight and that its 62 not 72
Question for you guys. Right now I am sitting at 56Rh with a pack of boost 62 in the jar. Do I still need to burp them or do I allow them to reach 62 before doing so? Also how long would that that to reach 62?
62 w Integra Boost keeps it perfect, 58 is a lil dry and burns alot quicker. I do keep 58's to put in with preground and stuff like that. Is Rosin supposed to be stored at a certain RH, or only about temp and light?
My only question is what size packet to use for certain size containers?i usually buy an oz at a time,break it in half and store it in 2 medium storage jars from 420 science.420 claims that the medium jars only hold 10 grams but no problem fitting 14 in them.having said that what size packet would be recommended for a jar that holds 14 grams?just bought a 6 pack of the 8gm integra boost packets and wondering if its too big for 14grams or if its too small.any info would be greatly appreciated.
DUDE... Integra lasts longer...BECAUSE ...Their pack is 67grams! I doubt it's any better! MY QUESTION!!! Can you RECHARGE Integra!???? Cause you CAN recharge the Boveda with distilled water!!!
@@CottonBoxer I realize I'm late to the party, but in case you never got a solid answer I'd like to share an easy method to recharge Integra packs. I'm using the term 'recharge' loosely here but the reason being is the assumption that they've lost too much water keeping the herb proper, not the other way around. I think that's the assumption that we're all under. Gather the packs and pit them into a Mason jar.. Take a bamboo chopstick and skewer some orange rhine. Insert into jar so that the Rhine is suspended above the packs never touching them. I usually give it 3 days and bobs your uncle.
@@darthdiggler9914 Thats not good. Only use water and keep the packs out of the water. Orange peel can introduce mold and contaminants... All you need is a big jar and a jar that will fit inside the small jar... then use water not orange peels
Awesome shirt I am the guy that got his house rated and it was tomatoes and miracle grow that you can see the video on RUclips just type in tomato grower
@@thunderjoy7250 It depends on the humidity of your flower. Mine have lasted through 4-6 harvests if you get your stuff down to around 65%-67% on it's own and then throw in the packs. (I also use way more than suggested...usually 2 of the 62 gram ones in each 2 gallon jar filled 2/3 or 3/4 of the way. Basically the only ones that ever had more than a light hard feeling on the outside are ones that were mistakenly left out of the jar for too long. Now the little tiny ones are another story, those seem pointless to me. I got them to use in my "daily smoke" container but it was hard as a rock after a week and they don't even stay hydrated while stored inside the ziplock they come in.
@@jackgoff4859 My bovedas (in case you aren't talking about boost) came in sealed packs and the ones i haven't opended are still good after a year. When you smoke daily a lot of dry air will come into your jars so that's my guess on why they don't last. Maybe trying to close the jar directly ater taking your bud out can help.
I just purchased the Integra today and the store where I purchased said that you can put these right up against your material and he said the Boveda it’s not recommended. Not sure if that is accurate?
@@manuelclark2880 I picked up some integras today, I'll give em a try. If the product tastes better, that'll be great! Never thought the Boveda gave mine a bad taste.
weed is not that delicate... Try making some ice bag hash and see how fun it is to knock the trichomes off... Dude, we used to keep weed in rolled up sandwich baggies, shoved in to jeans pockets... True the bags get sticky and waste some resin, but we still get high. Kids these days are so spoiled and worry too much. Trichomes feel no pain, the plant is already dead.
Dude you need to cure the weed for 1 month. Once that is done then you do not have to open the jar, these will maintain the humidity, its good for long term storage. So you should burp the jars till the cure is done, that is 4 weeks
Can I ask what you !wan by burping the jars and how do you cure and why do you have to cure it if storing it. Sorry newbie to the stoner world. Just finally started smoking when I got ill after 30 years lol
The question is can u rehydrate the Integra packs. They are gelatin and Glycerin so it is doubtful. Look for Bovidia to change construction to deter recharging.
@@Dylabong420 You want to dry it close to your target range (55%-62%) if you're not carefull you will dry it out and lose trichomes. Try the old stem "bend but not break" rule lol
Am I the only ones who feel that 62 is to low? I feel that the plant is a bit to dry in my cvault with a 62. Was thinking about getting the next one up next time.

The less you open the container the humidipacks are in, the longer they will last. A container with them opened 12 times in 1 month will go bad about as quickly as one opened 12 times in 6 months. All depends on how long those little packs are exposed to air.
hy·grom·e·ter /hīˈɡrämədər/ Learn to pronounce noun an instrument for measuring the humidity of the air or a gas. humidistat is an electronic device analogous to a thermostat but which responds to relative humidity, not temperature. Humidistats are used in a number of devices including dehumidifiers, humidifiers, and microwave ovens Sounds like the same thing to me. Like coke and pepsi, search and inspection, same thing just different word. Question is, why you so wound up over it? Are you feeling insignificant?
I think he was talking about something else. When cannabis dries out it releases the terpenes and when you open the jar those terpenes that have left into the air will be present in the form of a strong smell. What that means is that properly stored weed will be less smelly when you open your jar because the terpenes are kept in the buds. But when you grind them or smoke them larger amounts of preserved terpenes will be released and you will have stronger smell/taste.
Hey don’t try to rehydrate these things you cheep-skates, just buy a new one. Boost is the way to go. Bovida comes in Unbleached packaging I think that’s where the bad taste comes from.
@@faba1709 Make sure not to contaminate them. You can soak them in DESTILLED water but the best guess for me is to just let them rehydrate from high humidity. If you place them in a box with water and make sure they don't touch the water they recharge and you don't have to get destilled water. Takes a bit longer but it's the safest way.
@@sacballa_kills_em_wit_facts If they touch the water, it can introduce contaminants. These contaminants can clog the pack and make it inaccurate or ineffective. That can cause mold... So you keep the pack out of the water, it will just absorb the evaporated water from the air inside the container. Any contaminants in the water will not evaporate, so the pack wont absorb them. Contaminants is just normal stuff in tap water, minerals, birth control, etc...
Dude your putting to much stress on this I use boost on second week of curing and they work for taste everytime ,you still need to burp ,yet the packs stay potent thru the burping process
The only problem with your test is the hydromer your using are crap. Control is what I do for a living. My work meter costs almost a grand and we have to send them off every year to get certified. Good revew anyway.
A hygrometer measures humidity, the amount of water vapor in air. A hydrometer, on the other hand, measures the density or specific gravity (SG) of a liquid by floating in the liquid.
Just being a smartass here not trying to be a dick I'm just stoned and laughed while reading sv wild hair up his ass again stoned and being dumb but obviously your work don't care about spelling because it's hygrometer and believe not beleve.. lol it just made me laugh is all, I misspell all the time as well. Puff puff pass my friends and fellow growers..
Everyone I promise you boveda bags are better, fuck integra it literally does nothing, I literally right now have both of them in jars right now with the same amounts and I can tell you boveda does work, integra does nothing
Over one year, and the boost is still working. Same great smell, consistent humidity, two thumbs up.

I've used both Boveda works better works faster helps with dry plants i tried boost thought gel would be better it isn't
Boveda makes bud taste weird and weak.
integra is better i’ve tried both boveda and integra. boveda is weak imo integra really hydrates the bud i find that the gel is also better
Curing after harvest: 62%
Simply stashing after cure: 55%
Its funny, someone on reddit said 55% is best for long term storing, and 62% is best for daily storage (open the stash daily)
Either is good.for either....so close
I think 58% is the best

If there is enough water holding capacity left in the pack it will bring it down from whatever it is.

I feel Integra lasts a bit longer, like the gel, but especially love the included card that lets you know it's time for a new pack. I keep all my concentrate in a smaller pelican case which is ideal for storage/protection and not only silicone sealed, but also has an auto patented internal air release valve, which helps with all types of helpful features like floating and keeping all your stuff protected and dry, and crush proof as well. You can get models with locks. Harbor Freight also now has a new line of BEAUUUTIFUL different size/color Pelican case knock-offs, but they help up extremely well on comparison RUclips vids, so I do plan on getting one of the bit larger "suitcase"ish sized ones w/the pluck foam(included) to make a perfect cozy spot for my rig and banger etc.. and some storage under that for product and accessories, since the Pelican one I want is a few hundred $'s(worth it), but Harbor Freight dropped the big ones in safety orage and desert khaki and green, Highest model is around 50$ which is INSANE! But anyways, ya like they say in the vid, I'm pretty indiff on Boveda vs Integra, imma grab whatever the best deal is on at the moment! 😝 Drop in a 62% 4 or 8 gram into each 1/8th container right after purchase and usually within 48 hours I feel the nugs have returned to a perfect dank cure.. the ONLY thing I use 58% for is stuff I've already ground, that's in my ever rotating container of pre-ground or me ground, 58 seems perf for getting rolled up.. Everything else stays at 62% keeping them nugs fresh and terpified! The dispensaries used to give you the packs or they were already in your 1/8th which I loved cuz its all dry now, so why not toss in a pack and improve your product again like before? Lol
@@davidjuchelka7442 if you buy flower from a dispo, you put a 62%(they go by weight, I usually buy the 20 or so packs of Integra 62% RH. Ebay is the best just pay attention to weight and that its 62 not 72
Better than Boveda
Love the shirt
Humidity in my jar with flower is 48% and it’s been two days and it’s still 48%? I’m hoping it changes soon.
If it didn’t you needed the bigger pack for more weight
Question for you guys. Right now I am sitting at 56Rh with a pack of boost 62 in the jar. Do I still need to burp them or do I allow them to reach 62 before doing so? Also how long would that that to reach 62?
add a raw hydrostone and you're good for ages. And i bet these packs can be re hydrated.
Makes your weed taste like wet grass .
Hydrostone to rehydrate packs packs to keep weed fresh/help with cure
hey just wondering which one lasted longer. Thanks
67g boost > 60g boveda , take a wild guess which one has more water inside of it
Good explanation
Love your T-shirt dude awesome 😂
Wanna do a recap on this? The market is going strong, and I am curious about the 55 vs 62 percent humidity debate.
62 seems too moist to me
62 for cure, 55 for smoking.
62 w Integra Boost keeps it perfect, 58 is a lil dry and burns alot quicker. I do keep 58's to put in with preground and stuff like that. Is Rosin supposed to be stored at a certain RH, or only about temp and light?
My only question is what size packet to use for certain size containers?i usually buy an oz at a time,break it in half and store it in 2 medium storage jars from 420 science.420 claims that the medium jars only hold 10 grams but no problem fitting 14 in them.having said that what size packet would be recommended for a jar that holds 14 grams?just bought a 6 pack of the 8gm integra boost packets and wondering if its too big for 14grams or if its too small.any info would be greatly appreciated.
The 8gram integra packs are good up to one ounce jars.
So that should be fine for your 14 grams
Dude, I want your shirt! That's badazz. Where'd you get it?
DUDE...
Integra lasts longer...BECAUSE ...Their pack is 67grams!
I doubt it's any better!
MY QUESTION!!!
Can you RECHARGE Integra!????
Cause you CAN recharge the Boveda with distilled water!!!
I found with the Boost pack that if it got to dry, that I could put it and the tag in a bag with some RO water and it recharges to pack.
not clear on how to do that specifically by what you say.
@@CottonBoxer I realize I'm late to the party, but in case you never got a solid answer
I'd like to share an easy method to recharge Integra packs. I'm using the term 'recharge' loosely here but the reason being is the assumption that they've lost too much water keeping the herb proper, not the other way around. I think that's the assumption that we're all under. Gather the packs and pit them into a Mason jar.. Take a bamboo chopstick and skewer some orange rhine. Insert into jar so that the Rhine is suspended above the packs never touching them. I usually give it 3 days and bobs your uncle.
@@darthdiggler9914 Thats not good. Only use water and keep the packs out of the water. Orange peel can introduce mold and contaminants... All you need is a big jar and a jar that will fit inside the small jar... then use water not orange peels
Great video, have u tried the Boveda Butler for monitoring curing? It sells for about $20
Awesome shirt I am the guy that got his house rated and it was tomatoes and miracle grow that you can see the video on RUclips just type in tomato grower
good night, I have a question, if I leave the humidipak inside the jar for a long time it could generate fungi
No, these humidipak's will not generate fungi. They are designed not to :)
kushman green crack dope name that’s my favorite strain 👍🏼
@@GrowersHouseGrowLab how long does a pack last if I'm curing a 300g cannabis pack..
Roughly how often do you think I need to change them
Thanks
@@thunderjoy7250 It depends on the humidity of your flower. Mine have lasted through 4-6 harvests if you get your stuff down to around 65%-67% on it's own and then throw in the packs. (I also use way more than suggested...usually 2 of the 62 gram ones in each 2 gallon jar filled 2/3 or 3/4 of the way. Basically the only ones that ever had more than a light hard feeling on the outside are ones that were mistakenly left out of the jar for too long. Now the little tiny ones are another story, those seem pointless to me. I got them to use in my "daily smoke" container but it was hard as a rock after a week and they don't even stay hydrated while stored inside the ziplock they come in.
@@jackgoff4859 My bovedas (in case you aren't talking about boost) came in sealed packs and the ones i haven't opended are still good after a year. When you smoke daily a lot of dry air will come into your jars so that's my guess on why they don't last. Maybe trying to close the jar directly ater taking your bud out can help.
great review
Integra
I just purchased the Integra today and the store where I purchased said that you can put these right up against your material and he said the Boveda it’s not recommended. Not sure if that is accurate?
boveda give a bad taste
Sigmundy Freud I thought it was just me I knew I taste a difference
@@manuelclark2880 I picked up some integras today, I'll give em a try. If the product tastes better, that'll be great! Never thought the Boveda gave mine a bad taste.
@@manuelclark2880 apparently they use salt or something as opposed to integra
My 3 Hygrometer show 64% humidity
Good knowledge please make more videos 👌
for a quart size mason jar, what size of packet is recommended?
I saw in the comments on products reviews/questions the 8 gram packets are good for quart size jars.
where did you find that shirt
You can also recharge the boveda pack by submersing it in distilled water for 48 hours
I just wrap it in some slightly damp paper towel with purified water , rehydrated the pack and it works good as new
Do you have to weigh it back to its original weight ? Ex 8gr etc?
What was your room temp
Does vacuum sealing weed in mason jars hurt the trichomes?
pharmjar
A little bit but plastic bags kills terpenes
weed is not that delicate... Try making some ice bag hash and see how fun it is to knock the trichomes off... Dude, we used to keep weed in rolled up sandwich baggies, shoved in to jeans pockets... True the bags get sticky and waste some resin, but we still get high.
Kids these days are so spoiled and worry too much. Trichomes feel no pain, the plant is already dead.
Do u still need to pop the top a few days a week
Dude you need to cure the weed for 1 month. Once that is done then you do not have to open the jar, these will maintain the humidity, its good for long term storage. So you should burp the jars till the cure is done, that is 4 weeks
Can I ask what you !wan by burping the jars and how do you cure and why do you have to cure it if storing it. Sorry newbie to the stoner world. Just finally started smoking when I got ill after 30 years lol
if there's multiple kinds of flowers in one jar, can i a boost still? or do i have to separate each flower and give them their own boost pac?
What if it leaks
Throw everything away if it does leak
You can rehydrate your Boveda Pack by wrapping it in a damp paper towel with distilled water and placing it in a zip lock a while.
You can soak them right in distilled water
@@JS-te4gz The package won't last as long. Water degrades the paper when soaking.
The question is can u rehydrate the Integra packs. They are gelatin and Glycerin so it is doubtful. Look for Bovidia to change construction to deter recharging.
I rehydrated and it didn’t work anymore. It was crystallized and turned liquid but in the jar it didn’t regulate humidity any more 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Do you dry buds first or put it in straight off the plant
Dry and cure buds 1st and foremost. Then use humidity pack to store and keep fresh. :)
Dylabong420 nah use the packs to cure
@@Dylabong420
You want to dry it close to your target range (55%-62%) if you're not carefull you will dry it out and lose trichomes.
Try the old stem "bend but not break" rule lol
Always dry your buds first before curing
if your environment is 77 degrees, that's a little on the warm side, you should be using a 58.
Am I the only ones who feel that 62 is to low? I feel that the plant is a bit to dry in my cvault with a 62. Was thinking about getting the next one up next time.
not all all. i find it perfect for cure but too wet to use

58 is where it’s at
Rex McArtor do you use them to keep fresh bud or do you use in wet fresh bud to cure at the right humidity ?
If your bud is dry in a cvault at 62 you should get a bigger boveda
I had some super dry weed from tweed and the integra packs didn't do shit and it has been in my jar for a week. Bud is still damn near powder
Hey Matthew. Use a blimpifier to hydrate your dry weed first then use the humidity packs. This process works great. Cheers,
So, is there a way to mantain the buds fresh for a complete year? How big growers do it?
The less you open the container the humidipacks are in, the longer they will last. A container with them opened 12 times in 1 month will go bad about as quickly as one opened 12 times in 6 months. All depends on how long those little packs are exposed to air.
@@GrowersHouseGrowLab Thank you!!
Bruno Lr
Vacuum sealing in glass containers. No humidity packs needed.
@@ryanwilson5936
But won't you need the RH cure done first before vacume sealing? I was thinking about that myself
Steve Allen
Yes. But that can be done very easily without the need for any humidity regulating packet.
Dude quit saying “humidistat”. It’s called a hygrometer
smh.......people?
hy·grom·e·ter
/hīˈɡrämədər/
Learn to pronounce
noun
an instrument for measuring the humidity of the air or a gas.
humidistat is an electronic device analogous to a thermostat but which responds to relative humidity, not temperature. Humidistats are used in a number of devices including dehumidifiers, humidifiers, and microwave ovens
Sounds like the same thing to me. Like coke and pepsi, search and inspection, same thing just different word. Question is, why you so wound up over it? Are you feeling insignificant?
Bruh, it's night and day, nothing about being more "attuned" to it.
So there not reusable how long does one last does it affect taste?
they're*
@Get money nobody brain dead or illiterate does, I know that.
If Nate means at 5:40 that the Integra leaches terpenes to a lesser degree, he could just say so. I seriously doubt it.
I think he was talking about something else. When cannabis dries out it releases the terpenes and when you open the jar those terpenes that have left into the air will be present in the form of a strong smell. What that means is that properly stored weed will be less smelly when you open your jar because the terpenes are kept in the buds. But when you grind them or smoke them larger amounts of preserved terpenes will be released and you will have stronger smell/taste.
Hey don’t try to rehydrate these things you cheep-skates, just buy a new one. Boost is the way to go. Bovida comes in Unbleached packaging I think that’s where the bad taste comes from.
Temperature Matters More !
stable environment
Its called a hygrometer dude
Boveda packs can be refreshed and reused.
How
@@faba1709 Put them in a Tupperware with a wet sponge for three days.
@@faba1709 Make sure not to contaminate them. You can soak them in DESTILLED water but the best guess for me is to just let them rehydrate from high humidity. If you place them in a box with water and make sure they don't touch the water they recharge and you don't have to get destilled water. Takes a bit longer but it's the safest way.
@@christopherstein2024 safest from what??🤷🏾♂️💯🤣
@@sacballa_kills_em_wit_facts If they touch the water, it can introduce contaminants. These contaminants can clog the pack and make it inaccurate or ineffective. That can cause mold... So you keep the pack out of the water, it will just absorb the evaporated water from the air inside the container. Any contaminants in the water will not evaporate, so the pack wont absorb them. Contaminants is just normal stuff in tap water, minerals, birth control, etc...
62 or 58
62 for curing
Can u smoke it?
You cannot smoke the bags no, if you're question is if you can smoke the weed yes
Yeah, similar high to the Tide Pods if you were diggin those, not quite as good as bath salts tho.. ;)
well I mean yeah the integra weighs 7 more grams l, I'd hope it would last longer than the other?? LOL
What’s the song being played
State prices.
Integra products: growershouse.com/integra-by-desiccare

I'm sticking to 58% humidity Boveda.
BmoreBusker do you dry bud first or do they go in off the plant
Shane Molloy u dry em first of course nigga
PanalexMusic was not sure if its a curing aid . I know now it has my lambs bread perfect
Shane Molloy lmao
PanalexMusic lol thanks for the knoladge
Bro just purchase the real deal! How do you keep your integrity in the event ,if what ever you are trying to preserve ,fails???
put the boveda into some purified water and they re-hydrate themselves.
Other than that
Can you put them in a ziplock sandwich bag??
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dude your putting to much stress on this I use boost on second week of curing and they work for taste everytime ,you still need to burp ,yet the packs stay potent thru the burping process
The only problem with your test is the hydromer your using are crap. Control is what I do for a living.
My work meter costs almost a grand and we have to send them off every year to get certified.
Good revew anyway.
It’s hygrometer bro
only the cheap ones bru, the expensive ones are called hydromers LOL
A hygrometer measures humidity, the amount of water vapor in air. A hydrometer, on the other hand, measures the density or specific gravity (SG) of a liquid by floating in the liquid.
Just being a smartass here not trying to be a dick I'm just stoned and laughed while reading sv wild hair up his ass again stoned and being dumb but obviously your work don't care about spelling because it's hygrometer and believe not beleve.. lol it just made me laugh is all, I misspell all the time as well. Puff puff pass my friends and fellow growers..
I meant review not revew see I told you I was high.. lol time for another bongrip.
im not a fan of these... i like my weed dryer as dry LOL
Everyone I promise you boveda bags are better, fuck integra it literally does nothing, I literally right now have both of them in jars right now with the same amounts and I can tell you boveda does work, integra does nothing
How do you blow your nose ? Gross
