harvest early?

I dry my weed in a dark room with 60%RH. I never ever stick to day counts because some strains sometimes even the same strains can be harvested with more mosture then the same bud one grew a year ago. Could be 8 days could be 12 days to dry alone. I hang untill i feel the first sign of crispyness on the outer bud(6-9 days) i then trim my bud and jar it (with the top half way covered ror 12 hrs, open it back and hang them again untill the outside feels dry again about 3-5 days later then jar it up again taking note of internal humidity, if it goes past 65/70% i open the jar till it drops back to room humidity and give it 30 extra mins after the humidity drops back, repeat till your buds dont go past 55/60% in the jar. It will smell good when finished. I see many people drying till the stem snaps. Imo this is too fast atleast for my room humidity. The stem should be snapping out of the cure jar not out of the dry room.

You're bud looks good. A little dark still but not sure if its the strain. Curing is easy as shit as long as you dont dry too fast, the jar will do most of the work for you.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying just because I've grown for yrs that i'm perfect, I just have perfected it for my taste, that's all.
I have done it many ways that didn't get me the results I wanted, so naturally I kept trying new things until I found something that I liked, happened to be organics, and since then I have stayed with it, and perfected it, using things like my own homemade worm casting, to my own fortified compost, to the leaf mold i'll be using to replace both peat and coco products... to the comfrey plants I grow to use as a nutrient, to nitrogen fixing legumes grown as companion plants, etc, etc.
It's MUCH more than growing pot to smoke. To me...
I'm not saying i'm better than anyone, or that i'm extra fuckin cool because of it, just saying for me? The herb I grow? is about as perfect as I can grow it, I've grown herb that is too strong, many times, I found that I've grown out of the "so high all I can do is stagger to the fridge and eat everything in the damn thing"
it's all about the taste and desired effects for me now. Sorta why I have veered away from the heavy indica strains.
