curing question

ok, so i have harvested, now i have my buds in jars. my question is how many times a day do i open up the jars? and for how long? i would like two cure for 2 to 3 weeks. when they were put in the jars they werent wet, the buds were kinda of crispy, the stem was bendy. can someone help me oout with this?

did you cry them out before putting them in jars?
(hope you did(

what does cry them out mean? i had them hanging upside down for a few days

lol sorry i ment dry. If the stem was bendy this werent hung long enought to dry. the stem should break. I would take them back out for acouple days maybe a week. then put them back into jars. Open them 2 to 3 times aday and should be good. Just make sure they are more dry first.

I agree and 30 days isn't really enough, especially when the drying was less than thorough. I open jars at least once a day for 30 days, then go to once ever other day for a couple weeks and once ever few days for another couple weeks. Too much work went into those buds to skimp now on something that takes so little effort like drying and curing.

i have them in jars now, they werent wet or anything when they went in the jars, i was thinking of keeping them in there for two to three more weeks, and then smoking a few buds from the jars, will this be ok?

open them 3 times a day, until the stems break, then once a day for as long as you want to cure. 3 - 6 weeks

It's easy to say they went into the jars too soon, but you don't want the wait until airy buds are crumbly.

or just until they burn as desired.
IDK, my stems rarely get to the "snap" point, even after several months cured.
I think about 15% humidity remains in a good cure?

Most my stems stay a little bendy too. Not sure about humidity levels on a final cure, but that would probably be the best indicator. Maybe someone knows for sure

I did a quick google search and didn't find an answer.
