+rep for advise, can anyone tell me what the buds will feel like when they are ready for the jaring prosses, and is there a tutorial for the time you stick your buds into jars from day 1, how often to burp them and for how long to when you dont haft to open them anymore....? need advise fast .:bigjoint:
 
1) the bud should be dry to the touch, you use the jars to pull the water from the center of the bud outwards, so i would say if they feal dry to the touch jar them up
2) i burb mine once or twice a day, remove all the buds and them re-insert them in a different order (my 2 cents)

if jaring the buds makes them excessivly wet you can place them in a paper bag for a day to remove more water.

once you sure you have the majority of the water out leave them in the jar (but continue to burb) you want to make sure you dont have any water in the jar because it WILL cause mold growth.

Also try not to handle the bud roughly or excessivly you will loose keif
 
When the stems are dry enough to snap. The slower it takes to dry, the less quality you will lose in the process. You can just microwave the buds and have an "insta-cure," but it will be much lower quality than properly prepared and aged buds will be.
Bud moisture will vary by strain, as some have a sticky wet resin even after being dried that you don't want to lose, so if they smell like wet grass they have too much water in them, set them out on a piece of newspaper for an hour or two before putting back in the jars.
