Jus curious on what others are lookin for in their buds to consider em ready to jus stay sealed up a while without the daily opening of the lids...
Crunchy?
Spongy still?....
Smell?
If I know theres enough moisture to mold a bud in a jar.......I'd never put it in a jar
I like to smoke spongy/dry buds, crunchy kinda sucks for rolling
All personal preference,can pull out a x60 magnifying glass and check for full maturity of trichomes, but generally speaking it's should be ready in a week to 10 days. Could always get samples tested, unusually shoot for 7-11% moisture
