Questions about drying

Gotta get a good weight once you cure for a good month. They will shrink up but will be dense af

They’re in one gallon zip locks right now, I did cut early. Could have waited longer, but I was just impatient lol. 11 day dry is enough for me, the buds smell great and are extremely dense. I’m pleased! The 3 branches that are left will be added sometime tomorrow to the final weight. Each bag has a qp in it, goal is to fill up this last bag! I’ll probably cure in the bags for 5 days maybe less. And then transfer to jars with boveta packs to keep her moist until I give it all away or smoke it

YeH that whole “dry until the stem snaps” thing.. don’t do that.. I’ve never had my stems snap lol, your buds would be powder by the time you dried it to that point.. what you could do next time is get a humidistat and bag up a few random untrimmed buds and see what the humidity is after an hour, once it’s 60ish you’re good to go.

I can tell without that. I can tell right now my buds are just about that are, will be burping them every day. They’re pretty close though

Its not snapping... more that they make some cracking noises instead of just bend.

Don’t be afraid to touch and break open a bud. You have to know how moist they are inside. So pick one and bust it apart. Is the outside crispy, but the inside wet? Now u know.
