so finally cropped out and I had the drying in my garage which has built in baseboard heaters as well as a built in dehumidifer

I had a limited amount of time of which i was able to dry [4 full days], all the time they were in the canopy of a truck with the big buds hanging and the smaller stuff on screens, they had a fan blowing on them on low for the last 3 days the whole time

by the end all the little buds felt good and the stems would snap when bent, the bigger buds though were still somewhat soft and wouldnt crack right away

i let them dry for a little bit on the 5th day but now they are all in jars, of which i've opened 3 times already in the last 2 days to get some air in

there is no moisture whatsoever on the jars or lids themself, and they look good in the jars

is it gonna be ok or will it suffer from that drying time?

keep opening them. every day, for at least a month. i open them, blow them a kiss, whispering, that i love them. also keep them outta the light. dark and cool is good.

should be fine just open the jars 1 time a day for a few mins for a week. then once every few days for another week. after that 1-2 times a month .

It all sounds good

The purpose of the jars is to redistribute the moisture, and slow the final part of the drying process, so the buds don't get crispy.

I find that once I put them in the jars the stems bend again instead of snapping, and by the time they snap - in the jars - they're fully cured :leaf:

also, if the buds ever seem to dry, take a fresh fan leaf and put it in a jar overnite. it will freshen the buds for perfect smokability.

I actually read through that whole guide before i posted this post, i only posted because that had some information which conflicts with other guides i've read regarding the drying time etc.

but I was very happy to see the numbers for temp and humidity in that guide, because those numbers are almost exactly what i was getting during my drying period, but when i first started i could not find any resource that had solid numbers for them, so i'm happy I did it right :)
