^ Yeah I myself didn't believe it would even work before I tried it but low and behold it does. Makes sense, too imo. I would try it on a jar just to see if it works side-by-side if you're brave enough lol. edit: by the way, I know the paper bag thing is a bit controversial but I decided to try foregoing the brown paper bags completely and I no matter how hard I tried to discern a difference I just couldn't see any. So I came to the conclusion that for me at least, if the brown paper bags do work, they don't make a big enough difference for me to be able to tell. So from then on I just skipped using them and I haven't looked back. I do cure for about a year so my buds benefit from this long time in the jars. I find 6 months to be the minimum I would want to leave them in there but every strain is different of course. I rotate the jars so I don't have to wait 12 months before I can smoke.
We get days of high humidity here and I just use a dehumidifier (11L capacity I think, not a small one) with a hygrostat set to turn it on at or above 60% RH. Too low and when you dry and cure you'll run into trouble, which is why I don't go below 50%. 99% of the time it's not necessary and as long as it's room temperature indoors where I do my stuff a dehumidifier isn't needed. The colder it gets, the higher the relative humidity and the warmer, the lower the RH which is why as long as the temp is in the right range the RH is usually good where I live.
