After 3 days the buds are much dryer than after the 3 day air dry, but there is still a touch of moisture. Ide say its 90% dry, but no over drying/crispiness happened by any means. I went ahead and jarred them today, do you think I got ahead of myself here? Should I wait until they feel crisp? If I dont, will this lengthen the curing process and or cause mold?

I just want to be sure, and I just took a couple pipe rips of this stuff (White Rhino) and I'm supremely ripped so Im a bit more concerned now

Thanks in advance for any advice

Even the most basic methods can have variable from house to house. This method is designed to slightly over-dry your bud. As stated, over dried bud is much better then slightly damp. If you have followed my method to the letter and you still think it's slightly damp, then leave the jars open for a day or two. Rotate the buds from jar to jar, to keep them from molding. After the 2nd day, it should be a bit crisp. If it seems very dry to the touch and breaks up well, then close the jars.

I have not seen it still be wet after three days in the paper bags. Make sure to not stack the bud too close while in the bags. Keep all the buds from touching each other as much as possible.

The texture seems to come back after a few weeks in the jars (if it last that long).

I'd personally say you're good. If, after a day or so of being in the jar, they begin to moisten up again, let them dry for a little bit longer until they're as dry as you'd like again.

There's a lot of moisture in them stems.

Like the guide, Rumple. I might follow it on my upcoming harvest

Thanks

I can't say for sure, but I have had to harvest without a flush. I don't smoke pot myself, but the folks I grow for said it was fine. I hear it effects they way it burns in joints and the taste.

2 Green Thumbs Up. That's 2 classic threads in two days here. Things are looking up. Don't expect any classics from me. I don;t use pictures, and I'm not that dedicated to producing artwork.

I don;t have a place to hang the plants, so I cut and trim on harvest day. It's time consuming, but I usually go one day of air dry, one day of jar. This can go on for weeks before the buds are dry and cured. I like the results, so I stick with it.

However, this harvest will be bigger than normal, so I will have to go with a bag dry for several days before jarring and burping.

Thanks FreedomRider.
I( did find another mistake. I said I was using 12oz mason jars, that is wrong. I don't think they make them that small. The ones I use are 32oz wide mouth Ball mason jars.

Sorry about that guys.
