Drying

I'm in the drying phase and I feel like the buds are pretty close if not ready for mason jars. The stems are bending like a straw...not snapping. Should I let it hang longer?

Ok, so here's the thing. It's totally another personal preference, but here's a really good read if you're willing to spring for a few hygrometers: https://www.rollitup.org/t/a-perfect-cure-every-time.514841/

I've also used the 62% Boveda Humidity packs. And, I swear I can't tell the difference from burping, so it's something you might want to consider.

No , you can always take em back out of the jars and dry them a little longer but you canT re moisten them once there to dry trust me I been there lost a lot of taste and all the other good stuff that comes with a properly cured bud

I have hygrometers and 62% boveda packs. (Just came in the mail). Sounds like I should jar them up and if it's too dank I can always dry more later. Am I understanding right?

yes

iv got 100£ you smoke it before its cured

Tone's saying once they dry past a certain point (55ish percent) then you are no longer able to cure them at all. So jar them up when the buds feel dry on the outside, and then watch your hygro really closely. 60ish percent is the butter zone for a good cure.

Anytime, boss. It takes a few runs to get the feel for it. Once you get the feel and smell for it, you won't even need to use hygros. Cheers.

Looking at your blog it doesn't look like you need help
