Default Too Dry?
I hung dry my plants trimmed for 5 days, they were really dry, the stem barley snapped, bud the buds are extremly dry, I can turn them almost into powder with my fingers. Is this normal before curing?

They are in jars right now, I think 5 days may have been too long...feedback?????

Bagging them or going right to the jar should even out the moisture content. If it dried too fast, all the way through you may need to use a wet rag inside the bag for a day to let them re-absorb some moisture.

Where did you dry? What was the temp? Humidity? How dense are you buds? Fan blowing directly on them?

I'm thinking the humidity was really low being that I am in Socal. Also had fan blowing on them for the 4 days they were hanging. Temp was around 65-75 degrees...

Well, I guess I will see what the jars do, if not I may need to add soemthing to re-moisturize...+rep

I had the same problem a month ago, hung my buds up, went away for a week's holiday.
When I got back they were really crispy.
I re-moisturised my buds by putting my open curing jars in my shower room, closed the door and took a shower. This re-hydrated my buds and allowed me to cure them as normal and they turned out fine, not perfect, but it helped!

Just the question I was going to ask... And now I have my answer. I used the apple peels idea.

Thank you,
