I have been curing in mason jars for about 2 weeks. Some of my buds are getting dry and crunchy. Any suggestions on what I should do. I've been opening the jars for 30 minutes each day. Thanks for any help!

QUIT OPENING THE DAMN JARS!!!!........lol..........2 weeks,you don't have to burp' em no more........also we used to put a little piece of lettuce in our jars if the buds got to dry or I heard on Riu a q-tip dipped in water or juice in the jar might helpGL.

Yu usually don't need to burp them after a week. Just open them once a week for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th week to make sure everything is good. I also have the circular section of the lid flipped for the first week so the jar isn't always air tight. Throw a cannabis leaf or two in with your over-dried buds

you can insert anything that has moisture. I use orange peels of pieces of an apple.

put in the jar one leaf then close the jar for couple hours

Next time get a hygrometer to put in the jar, you can monitor the humidity, I strive for between 55% to 60%, but yea, sounds like you burped your jar too often, the remedires mentioned above could help, but usually once too dry you might not be able to revive them.

55-60% for dried bud? I thought you want 15-30. Just take it day by day and only your buds will tell you when ready.

Personally 15 to 30 is way too dry, ask around, I'm sure I'm right.

55-60 is perfect curing range inside the jar... 30% its too dry to cure

Dry buds update. I used my cigar humidifier in my jar and got the humidity between 50-60% and happy days are here again. Thanks for all the advice!!
