What this tells me is that you are not the kind of person who needs boveda packs since you use your material too quickly. Your opinion could give bad advice to people who need to store material long term, for which boveda packs should be enlisted. IME if one gets mold when using boveda packs, it is likely that your bud was not dry enough yet when sealed in the airtight container. Boveda packs are for storage and curing - NOT FOR INITIAL DRYING AFTER HARVEST. Capitalization is for emphasis, I don't wanna look like I'm yelling at you broJust say NO to Boveda, it is not needed. I used to use boveda moisture packs for some time but discontinued the practice because of several mold occurrences. I have realized that I usually use whatever I buy before dryness ever becomes an issue. I take care of my herbs without boveda and it works out much better in every way.
This is 100% true. Good advice!Mold is a much more serious threat to herb than dryness. You can still enjoy dry herb but you cannot enjoy moldy herb.
This. Webs are typically mites, not mold. If you have mites in your bud, then get rid of it. If you have access to macro/microscope imaging, you'll quickly see if there are bugsWhite webs on the buds is usually spider mites.
Take a look at the leaves. Any spots on them? Now look at the underside of the leaf (closely), see any tiny bugs?
Oh man, I only hope that the OP does not have their own grow and just bought these buds. I would not wish a bad spider mite infestation upon anybody.BTW, good luck getting those things out of your grow room!

Words to live by!Spot on!
Most folk having issues with Boveda are putting the packs in too early.
Drying takes weeks and should be done in an area with good airflow.
Initial curing should be done in Jars but requires burping (opening the Jars) daily. Really a hydrometer should be used to assess the Relative Humidity. After a few weeks one can begin to burp the Jars less frequently. I wouldn't begin to use Boveda packs until maybe the third month of curing, and only if I planned on putting the jars away for longer with less frequent checking.
I use these as they are cheap so I can have one for each jar:

Best drying is - spread it out in the sun and let the chickens pick the seeds out
