Hey all,
I'm going through Hick's "Curing By The Numbers" sticky and have a question. The sentence below in green - does this mean to leave the containers open for 1 to 2 hours once or twice a day? The language is tripping me up a little.
As always, thanks for the help - and GREEN MOJO!

Phase two. 70% to 65% RH: This is where the numbers game begins to kick in.... Once in the jars (phase two) that moisture can no longer be efficiently evaporated off and moved to a different area, being replaced by dryer air. Once you have determined the RH, which may take up to 24 hours, you can begin burping the jars. This can be done at a rate of one to two hours once or twice a day, depending on initial RH reading. Your room RH, temp, strain, exposure to mold and hygro readings will dictate this for you and wether to go faster or slower. Slower is always better, but precipitating factors, as stated, may political name this.. Also, at the end of this stage is where most commercial bud will hit the open market, if you are lucky. The bud at this stage should have that super sticky icky velvety feel and the 'bag appeal' will be at it's very highest.
