Marijuana Preservation...

I have an ounce of extremly dry bud and want to dank it up a tad. I have a small tupperwear container I set up as a fruiting chamber with some wet perlite. The humidity is about 99% in there. If I stick my bud in there will it get moldy? What could I do to get it dank and then keep it that way without it getting moldy?

Never "rehydrate" buds, it will ruin them.
Do you know what the word dank means? Think of a wet smelly basement; do you really want to smoke some dank shit?
The only way to make bud better is to cure it. Search for it.

Why is dank bud bad?
I rehydrate small quanitys of bud with orange peels in a plastic bag but I figured that would take forever to do a whole once. In my area people think that dry bud sucks and dank bud is good so if I want to sell it then I have to dank it up but I dont want mold.

Sounds like he's just trying to add weight to it in an attempt to make more money.
However orange peels will work... white bread will work as well. Just toss some white bread in the bag with it, wrapped loosely, and let it sit overnight.

Yeah pretty much ... Ive used orange peels and bread but I figured wet perlite would work really fast. Orange peels leave a small, bread doesnt add much weight and takes a while and spraying down buds is just to obvious. I dont want tor uin a whole once to mold though. I'm thinking of leaving it in a tub of wet perlite overnight and then keep it in a brown paper bag instead of a ziplock so I dont get mold.

I wouldn't go the perlite route. That will absorb way to much moisture and will do so very quickly.
If you can take a small sponge and add water to it and then squeeze the shit out of it till no water comes out then you can tape that to the top of a glass jar and that will add moisture with no smell and without over saturating your bud. Measure the sponge first and then after it is wet. You'll see just how much wet weight you are adding.
I personally only do this with bud I'm personally keeping and I don't want to burn to fast. If you are doing it to add weight that's just wrong.
As far as the term dank goes I've generally heard it used as an adjective to describe the quality of the bud rather than the moisture of the bud.

Add a peice of potato to rehydrate it. IMO, you should make sure that they buds are hydrated evenly and burp them after for good measure. It should guarantee that the buds become more pliable without adding too much uneccessary water weight.
This should also ensure that things don't get moldy, and that you aren't ripping someone off.

orange peels. or use a bit of iceberg lettuce or any lettuce i guess because it is pretty inert and will moisten slowly. you need it moist but the stems need to be pretty close to cracking dry.

If you intially dry the buds so they are crispy (the stems still have moisture in them) Then jar them, They will stay for years, in the dark. The moisture from where the stem meets the buds will 'de-crisp-ify' your buds and everything will be smooth. You might need to burb the jars once, but after that, your good. I would not add potatos to anything. Maybe an orange peel to your personal stash for a few hours, but not too long. It, along with the potato will start to rot eventually, causing bigger problems than you had.
And as far as adding water weight to your sales

Not that it makes a difference but,
I add water weight to my bud becuase people in my area think dry bud isnt good and will buy more moist bud over dry bud. I also dont rip anyone off ... if I started off with 3.5 grams and gained .3 in water weight I would sell an 1/8 as 3.8 and just let that person think I;m giving them a fat sack. This makes for alot of return customers who think there getting more for there money when they are just getting what they payed for.

Why do people want slightly damp bud? What's the advantage? I have 300+ grammes in two mason jars and burp them every now and then. It's pretty dry. It will only get drier and better with age I guess.

moister bud doesnt burn down in a few tokes, a bowl actually lasts instead of just burning up really fast. thats why people put lettuce/peels in their sack

too dry is crap. id rather be sold some weed with a proper moisture content then a bag of crap that will nearly disintegrate when u dare to touch it. also, the difference between too dry and just right is so small it will not make a significant difference in wight.
i have found that a single cigarette sised moist rolling paper is exactly enuff to rehydrate 3 grams of weed to precicely the fluffyness i enjoy so much.
ive never tried it on large ammounts, but i suspect the larger the ammount, the higher the danger of fungus due to uneven distribution of the water.
