buds felt really dense on plant?

Hey guys anyone ever have buds that feel rock hard on the plant but end up feeling somewhat loose after they dry?

My two that I cut down probably 6 days ago felt real dense on the plant but now that they're dry they seem pretty loose. also they feel real dry on the outsides but still shoot a jars rh up when put in. Like almost crumbly dry on the outside but they aren't really dense so idk how they are still apiking jars like they are.

before you jar them, you need to sweat them. the inside still has moisture, usually overnight in the jar, then back out until they feel crispy again.
i don't use jars until they are ready to go in there and stay in there. I use a plastic tub to sweat them.

Ya I'll be curing them I'm the jars and storing in the jars. Plastic tote sounds like a good idea for sweating them if you have a good amount. I'll keep that in mind this fall.
This harvwst indoor I only pulled a couple ozs so I figured half g jars would be fine to cure in. But they arespiking the jars way up to like 75%-80% still while feeling dry on the outside. And the jars aaren't even close to full. Staying right around 66% with the top off the jar.

i would put the lid on the jar for the whole day, when you open it tonight, buds should feel moist again,lay them out for a hour or 2, then back into jars

I left the lid off all last night and it dropped from 63%-58%. So I put the lids on and I'll see how long it takes to climb.

Wouldve tried what you.said chuck but I didnt see it until this morning haha.

One thing I have found from my experience is that when Idry my bud iI start by drying the whole plant in tact I only chop most of the very large fan leaves leaving plenty medium leaves on her and then let her go maybe 10 days or so called a slow dry period the main thing is don't panic they may seem very dry to touch by day 7 or so but believe me they still have a lot of moisture in them once I get to this point I do my final trim and cut buds off main stalk and stims place on mesh for two days and then jar burping after 24 hours once a day for about three days at 20 minutes per burp...always the buds lock up nice and tight and after about three weeks cur you want to eat them..….hope this helps you...

Remember when you chop your plants from the stalks at harvest your losing out on a lot of good things that happen by keeping them in tack..
