Yes you want to air them out.Many people have different formulas as far as how often to open them and for how long.I just open them up about 2-3 times a day for about 30 min. each time.Also, I unpack and repack the jars every 2-3 days for the first week or two so all the buds get even treatment and to avoid wet spots and mold.

took me three years to get it right. i dry the bud until the stem is spongy and the outer bud is crisp. then i seal it in a jar. then i start by opening it overnight. i crack the jar open but leave the lid on it. it stays open about a 1/2 inch. leaves a small gap to breathe overnight. then i seal it in the morning. i do this for a week or 2.

That's the part I always second guess myself at- when to put them into the jars...Some folks say when the buds are dry and the stems snap- my stems never snap completely they always bend a little too.If I kept them in the closet until the stems snapped my buds would be way too over dry.

i keep the stems spongy. this is moisture. when it gets sealed the moisture in the stem "wicks" thru the bud, curing it. this is how i understand it.

good info FDD. what do you do to get your buds to the "spongy" stem stage? just let them hang upside down in a dark place, like a closet, or do you put them right from the plant in a paper bag till that point?
