I feel like I may have made a rookie mistake. My father and I harvested our first set of plants. I took the harvesting/drying process on myself, but after 4 days of hanging I am worried they may have dried too fast or is it possible I am just being too concerned about my buds? I have done my research and took the right steps thus far. Help me out guys!

Are your stems bending or breaking after 4 days?

depends on bud density but should take a week or so; check for the "snap" of the branch to let you know they're dry. if really dense, may want to check jars when curing for moisture build-up.

4 days is no too long your just overthinking it. You and your buds will be fine.

Some of my buds were starting to get a slight aroma of hay or dry leaves. I trimmed excess leaves off the buds and they are still slightly moist. Others are a little more dry than they should be at this stage I think.

Sometimes they get that grassy or hay smell while drying. Its the plant drying out so dont worry. It will smell good again after curing if you dried right.

as long as you dont have major fan circulation 4 days is fine theyll probably take a few more after that.

Post some pictures!
