Using fresh bud off plant, to make older herb moist again!?

OK, haven't really tried but seems like a good idea. Today is one week on my flush, and i took so clipping to sample. I also have a bit of older herb on various jars, dried up a bit too much. What about taking some fresh clippings or stems into the older herb jars, shaking, and allowing moisture in? Out with the old, in with the new... Anyone try before?

Might work, like putting bread in with cookies make them stay moist or become moist.

Exactly. I have used a little orange peal in the past on older dry bottom of the harvest nugs. But, adding moisure via fresh stem or bud sounds more natural, i shall try.

I have used fresh stems to even out moisture, it works great.

I would not advise hacking off bits of healthy living plants to use to rehydrate over dried bud from earlier crops but when harvesting it is not a bad idea to keep some leaves and stems in a Zip-Loc bag for a while in case you over dry and would like to add back some moisture while curing. Just add a bit to each jar and the moisture will be shared with the over dried bud. If you are careful and only use a small bit at a time you can hold a finger under a faucet and get it wet and rub it on the inside of a curing jar and the moisture will be absorbed by the herb in the jar.

Just wondering why not? I am going to assume you are pretty knowledgable, and would love to know the reason why you would not advise it... i was thinking stems would be best, like the person above posted. thanks.
