Grove bags

As long as you dry them the way the directions tell you too, yes, they do basically take care of burping and curing. The way you do this is pretty easy though; They say to hang them for 14 days, at 60 degrees, and at 60% RH, and make sure the fan isn't actually blowing directly on the branches (it'll dry them out too quick) and once you get to that point, they should be ready for the bag.

Personally, I can hang them a LOT longer, because the back garage can stay really cool without being freezing, and the RH can be up a little bit, but once they go in the bags, they cure themselves basically. They are multi layered, to allow moisture in and out of the bag, to keep it between 57 and 63 % RH. In Winter, when Michigan is a cold Desert, you may need a humidifier though; The bag can't hold moisture if it's not there. I have stuff from this past season that's been in a bag over a year now. I haven't tried heat sealing them, because, yeah no... I'm not trying to heat seal a bag, I'm in that bag every day as it is LOL.

If they go in too dry, a moist but not wet paper towel can moisten them back up, and then you close it back up and leave it for a week or two, and it should be back to normal. I've had that happen a few times.
I wish I had the facilities to hang and dry at 60 degrees, I'm stuck with room temp. I am considering buying a small wine cooler for storage of flower, though.

I’ve been quite fortunate with drying. My room is in a back corner of my basement and just outside the door, I have a Rubbermaid cabinet I fashioned into a drying cabinet. This part of my basement stays at 60 degrees and 60% humidity and only swings +\-5 on both temp and humidity. A little desk fan in the bottom to circulate air and a carbon filter on a 4 inch duct/fan up top. Probably the most hackleberried part of my growing and it’s the best working part of it all! Haha!

The area I use isn't always 60 degrees, but as long as it's not like, 30 degrees, or above 68, it should work out fine :) The RH is way more important in my experience. I sometimes go out there when it's raining, like, two weeks ago, after we had that really cold dry spell for a bit, the RH had dropped to like 50, so I went out and left the door open for a bit while it was raining, and got it to like 67%, and then closed the door up, and left the one fan going. It's blowing directly at a tent, so, it's moving air, but not directly over the branches. Works out pretty well to be honest.

They aren't out there now though; Back Garage needed to be shut down for Winter, so, the 15 hangers / racks that we had out there, are now in the bedroom with the 4 we had left from the first pulls. I had a humidifier on a table near my closet to keep that section from drying out to much, and I don't really like it being above 62 degrees just in general, so, we still have a window open in the bedroom. Keeps it cool in there haha.

I have a few of these on the suggestion of Deebs. I don't have a grow to fill any of them (yet) but access to an ok stash. I threw a humidity gauge in there with them steady 60. That being said this company 100% screws you on the shipping & on top of that they will revert your cart to their highest price shipping if you make a change. I got screwed on that little shady b.s.

Yeah that shipping is insane. I work in shipping and I know costs are way up. But their prices are obscene. I'll just continue to pick up a few here and there at the grow shop.
