Update: My crispy buds aren't crispy anymore! The Boveda packs gave them a much better feel, so I guess they're working! But still gonna keep an eye on the rH in the jars. Thanks for your thoughtful advice, Doer, I'm learning. Peace and great grows to all you guys!

Sorry about the double post. Peace

I know they won't go back and restart the curing process, that would be too good to be true! I just don't want my stuff to feel so dry and was wondering if it might moisten up a little without molding from the Boveda packs. As far as smoking, Slipon, you right! It doesn't matter so much to me...

Doer, I got that shit straight off of RIU, from many sources! Then I found a couple that said not to wait until the stems completely snap, (Hell, I even found one that said to dry them to..."Cervantes touch"- WTF?? I mean, I know who he is, but how am I supposed to know what his touch is????)...

You're right, Someguy, I overdried them, for sure! Newbie mistake -won't do that again. The Boveda packs are 62% rH. I'm definitely going to give it a shot while keeping a very close watch. Thanks, everyone! Peace

I have over 9 oz. of bud that has been in the jars for 30 days, and my problem is this: When I first put the buds in the jars and put a hygrometer in one of them overnight, the rH was only 45%! I read that curing only takes place when the rH is between 65% and 55%. After I harvested, I hung...

Kermit2692, it sounds like you're saying I dried too long, but the potency is pretty damn good, so I still would consider my grow a success. I just don't want to make the same mistake again! To clarify, does anyone know what causes the hay smell and how to avoid it next time???

smokecat, its good, couple friends that smoked it loved it, and wanted to buy zips. I actually did grow it for personal use, but it being my first grow, I vegged way too long and got two huge plants. The 9 zips is really just the actual buds, that doesn't include the several jars of popcorn I...

Thanks for the reply, Retired. You're right about the bullshit - everything I read said dry until the stems snaps, that's exactly what I did, then I put them in the jars. I haven't seen any evidence of any kind of humidity whatsoever in the jars, no moisture on the lids, nothing. I'm still...

Thanks, but Yes, it does smell sort of like hay. It smokes and vapes fine, good up buzz, but what I want to know is: Has/Will the THC mature like it's supposed to, or is this the best it's going to be??? And what does the hay smell mean?

I just recently harvested two large White Widows from my first ever DWC grow. I hung it to dry in a room with 50-54% rH and 72F. Took a little less than a week for the stems to snap. I have had it curing in the jars since 2/22/14. I read a lot about curing and, from the way I understand it...

Temps in my bloom room are around 68F with a rh of about 40%, so I believe that's ok. I think it was the Koolbloom on top of the nutes that burned them. But since I flushed them, I have them back on nutes - started low, worked it up little by little. This last rez change, I even put back in...

Weedenhanced, this is the status of my plants: Most of the pistils on one plant are red and curled into the bud like you said, and it doesn't look like anything new is developing. On the other one, most of the pistils are red and curled into the bud, but she keeps getting more new calyxes...

JD, thanks so much for your input. I'm in the process of slowly increasing the nute strength, and if they don't appear to be getting worse, I'll start back with a little Koolbloom. Thanks for the info and crossing your fingers! I'm definitely praying that I'm doing the right thing for them...
