    Default Not Moisture!

    so, i successfully harvested a few good pounds of outdoor this year and have dried and am now on to the curing stage. i managed to find 10 1 gal. glass on glass jars and a few 1 liters with metal and porcelain lids.
    now.
    after curing for about 2-3 days i started, on one jar, noticing condensation and noted that the larger buds were re-moistening through the stems. i know that that is typical of the process and thats where the burping comes in, but when does moisture become too much moisture? when i decided to take the buds off the main branches, most of them snapped right off, but now that there just seems to be more moisture than i would think there should be. i was drying them in a room where i was running into the problem of the little buds being super dry with the stem being dry on em, the coala's being dry and almost crispy but the stem is still moist and bendable.
    so.
    how can i tell when the moisture is TOO much moisture?
    how long should i be leaving the jars open when burping? currently @
    20min every 12hrs
    what smell should i not smell? (i was told to watch for the smell of fresh grass clippings)
    whats the least amount of time i should be curing the buds?
    what do i do if theres still too mush moisture but i dont want to mess up the curing and make my buds less potent and smell like hay?
    i know how to deal with over-dry, but what about too wet?

    Sounds like your buds are too wet for curing Dry them in paper bags 'till you can snap the stems then start to cure!

    yes as Eggbox says it sounds like they were to wet to jar up and cure
    either leave the lids open for longer more frequent durations or take it all out and dry for another day or so till your getting stem snap then re-jar them and carry on curing

    Sorry to high jack, but I have just harvested as well and I am having a problem with regulating the humidity, the harvest is not in jars yet every thing is still hanging, im trying the bowl of salt as well as rice. What is the perfect temp and Humidty supost to be for drying before going into jars?

    Around 20 degrees celcius rings a bell to me.. Not sure on the humidity though.
