i feel ya m8 i've overdried my last 2 bastard grows, i know some people say go off the stem snapping to be dry enough but i think alot of them mean the smaller shitty stems as when mine are dry as fuck the stems still don't snap lol

good look on rehydrating it

Cheers man, I did the same, buds were dry but I hung em by the branch. Buds were airy too so didn't need as much penetration to get dried out properly

Sorted now thanks, up in the 60s. Bit of spud, lemon,lime and orange spread over 3 jars did the trick

I would check your humidity thingy the cheap ones (like you have) are very unreliable. Anything with moisture in will re-hydrate them even a damp tissue, and as already posted orange peel or lemon works well. It is pretty dry though mate @ 34% if your reader is accurate (which I doubt). From the picture it doesn't look as dry as that.

Is it up to 60 with your spuds still in there if so it will be reading the moisture from them. It usually takes a day or 2 before the bud absorbs it.

They are cheap, I put one in my tent and it gave almost identicle reading to the groom reader so they're ok, will get better for next time. I can feel the bud absorbing the moisture now, it feels a bit spongey and soft instead of brittle and crisp, cheers for lookin in, I'd die if I fucked it up right at the end lol
