my buds have been hangin for 3 days and the outside is crunchy but the stems dont snap only bend. the temps have been around 70 and the humidity is around 50 in the room. should i go a couple more days or just jar them now.

Paper bag them for a few days as a compromise.

We usually jar them at about that stage, then check the jars daily. If they're a bit too damp we leave them open for 20-30 minutes. If they're a bit too dry we hang a piece of damp sponge in the jar for a few hours.

depending on what size jars you have, bud density, and amount it varies what time to jar them. If they are too moist you have a little time to find out before mold happens. You dont screw the lid on and bam mold right there crops gone.

If you have large dense colas and some smaller colas you can jar them all together in a large jar and the moisture will equal out among the buds and also even out through the cola. The outside wont be as crunchy anymore and it will have a little give to it when squeezed, not a mushy give, but a nice firm give. Like a bag of sand

I agree with analog.

Three days, with those conditions, does not sound like it is dry enough to jar. Mine typically hang 10 to 11 days & my humidity is lower.

Put them in paper bags to dry out some more before you put the bud in jars.

i put a little bit of mine in a jar at that stage before, opened it up 5 times a day, and they still got moldy. id wait till the stems snap, and like analog said, put them in a paper bag.

once a day is plenty

Jar that shit and let it burp. If you find it is too wet still, leave the lids open for a feww hours a day. I have jarred weeed that still bends slightly but i made sure to let the jars air out till they were perfect.
