Boveda Humidity Pack Test for Cannabis: Video Results
HWGrow tested a Boveda 62 pack in three sealed jars starting near 52%, 62% and 72% RH, then recorded the readings from one hour through two weeks. The results show that the pack can move a stable sealed environment toward its target, but its finite capacity is why it belongs after drying and curing—not as a shortcut for wet flower.

I got these Bovida 62 packs because I read articles online that said this was the easiest method to cure, but honestly, did they even test these out before writing those articles? I don't recommend products until they're tried and tested, so I left some jars with Bovida packs sealed for a couple of days just to see if the readings would change. But they didn't. To figure out whether or not the packs had any influence on the humidity, I decided to conduct a controlled experiment. I had three mason jars with hygrometers that I set at 52, 62, and 72%. Once they hit the target humidity, I added the Bovida packs and sealed them. Then I eyeballed them for a couple of minutes and I recalibrated them to the same target to stabilize them even more. Then I airtightened the lids and observed what happened in the hours and days that followed. One hour later, and the humidity was 58, 60, and 63. Two hours later, it was 58, 60, and 62. Three hours later, 59, 60, and 62. So it's getting closer. Four hours later, same as three hours later, 59, 60, and 62. 12 hours later, 59, 60, and 60. One day later, 58, 59, and 60. Two days later, 60, 61, and 62. Then two weeks later, 59, 60, and 61. So in conclusion, the humidity seems to straddle around 60 and 61%, which does indeed prove that these bring the humidity closer to what it's labeled. But why I believe my humidity did not change during curing is because of the size of these packs. Because of their size, they're only capable of absorbing or releasing a fixed amount of moisture. When dealing with even a quart size jar of bud, the moisture content is too much for these bovita packs to make a change. Once the pack is oversaturated with moisture or it completely dries up, there is no more influence it can make on the humidity, and it basically taps out. It is not a shortcut to cure in, and it will not automatically cure your buds. If and only if your target humidity is stabilized, at the same percent of the pack will the pack help maintain that level. Well, I still use the ones that I bought, but would I use it again? Probably not. If you appreciate the review, give this a thumbs up, and if you have any questions or comments, leave them below.
