Can you start curing before stems snap?

ive had my buds hanging for two day's now and they are getting dry and hard the stem still bends so can i start to cure the buds now if so how much time should they get in and out of the jar each day........................also how long do you have to keep curing before you can just leave the jar closed for storage

TWO days is NOT enough time especially if the stems are still bending dry them longer before you put them in jars....i made the mistake of putting my harvest in jars too soon and all it did was prolong the curing proccess i ended up having to take them back out the jars and dry them in paper bags before putting them into the jars again.......Just dry them right and you will save time and energy......Once you start curing in jars open the jars up like 4 times a day for like 15 min to let the excess moisture out.....I think you need to let the excess moisture out always im not sure if at once point yu can stop opening the jar im not sure though i always open my jars everyday no matter how long they been curing....hope that helps....

let it dry for around 5 to seven hanging if its not in a force dry environment then jar cure. big jars Small amount of buds in them so get enough jars. Open them three to four times daily for 15 min or more at a time and just watch for mold.

2 day can be enough time, if it is really dry where you are... it just depends on the temp and humidity of the area.

Also, regards to the curing process, the longer you cure the better. You're SUPPOSED to put them in jars and take them back out again a few times initially. The point it to dry them slow enough so that the harsher chemicals break down, but not so slow as to promote mold.

Personelly, I feel like letting them go until the stems snap is way too long. I bag them or jar them when the outside/surface of the bud is dry. That's when you'll want to bottle up the buds and redistribute the moisture from the middle to the surface. Once that happens you want to dry a little bit more and repeat.
