First Harvest * Drying for 3 days, Ready for curing jars?

leave them another 24 hours then jar. do you know humidity inside drying room?

Yes, it ranges from 48rh to 55rh.

Who said 3 days is a bit fast? 3 days is normal for me.

It all depends on how thick your nugs are and the environment.

I pay no attention to the stems or the calendar, if the nugs feel dry and crispy on the outside then I'm manicuring and jarring. You can always take them out of the jars for a few hours at a time to dry more, but if you overdry it will be tragic.

I agree, go by your instincs, who care how long it's been?, not me.

Crap, I thought 3 days wasn't long enough. Hope I didn't go too long, they do feel rather dry and crusty.

You don't want the stems to completely snap in half. Just have that break instead of bend feel.

If you are unsure just put them in jars for 12 hours at first then air them out and see how they go

Problem is (at least, problem for somebody with zero experience) some stems crack a little while others just bend. Either way, everything feels dry and crispy.

Anyway, everything was put in jars overnight. What exactly should I be looking for today to see if I dried them too long?

if any moisture was able to be redistributed back into the nugs.

you want to burp the jars so the moisture can be released and not build up mold.
