I try, at the very least, to open the jars for about 10 minutes or so three times per day. When you open the jar up the first few times, you'll be able to smell the humid air that's been trapped inside. Usually after 10-15 minutes or so, that smell will dissipate, indicating that plenty of moisture has been expelled. And it'll be safe to close it back up. You can leave the jar open for longer periods of time, and it'll actually fully dry out quicker that way, but I'm just a fan of a longer curing time (as I said, at least one month) because I feel it helps the buds reach their full potential in terms of taste and even burn.

You should definitely make attempts to "burp" the jar at least once per day, though...more so if possible. Without getting that excess moisture out, you'll be running a huge risk of letting mold develop inside. It's less the outside humidity you should be worried about, and more the moist air that gets trapped inside the air-tight jar.

Good luck with it...and in respects to Jimmy, after you've done it a couple of times and experimented with the process, you'll eventually find a method that works best for you and your circumstances.

Be good. :jointsmile:
