    Default Drying to cure too early?

    I think maybe I didnt let my buds dry out enough,(only 4 days,) before putting them in a rubber sealed glass jar for curing? I open the lid for 10mins every 4-5hrs and they do feel pretty damp still and very sticky, am i going to fk my buds up by doing this? Any advice please.

    yes mate youve probably already fucked them. If they are too wet when they go into jars, the moisture seeps out the buds again, and because it so much, it ruins the terpenes, and thats what give you the flavour, really have to wait until the stick are snapping before going into jars.

    The bud will be fine, but wont taste as good as it could of

    mine are still drying after 8 days and still no where near ready for jarring up buds need about 2 weeks or more before they dry enough to cure imo.

    Nah it'll still be decent bruv, give it time. For £100, you can buy a small tent and a t5 bulb and small fan, perfect for germinating and early veg whilst your shit dries, it'll save a few weeks between harvest, worth the investment
