Curing
Good morning guys. I wanted to ask you more experts, what is the best moment to pass from the drying phase to the cure? This is the photo of my last harvest, which I started caring for in jars after about a week of drying but it turned out to be too early because, although I let the buds breathe more hours a day, they felt damp for a week. do you take the breaking of smaller branches for good? or do you use other methods? Thanks!

What is your RH? The temp? I will remove bud from jars if the moisture is to great, rack it and let it air a few hours, then back to the jar. I also use cardboard boxes to dry in (slows the dry for me) until stable.
As a note mold grows at or above 55% RH. -
I let them hang until the branches won’t easily bend. Once they get stiff and snap when bent they’re ready for jars. Sometimes they’ll need to be aired out in a few days, especially with dense buds in the summer bc it’s really humid where I’m locatedComment

Well i place the buds in brown paper sack roll down closed. Leave alot of air space in the bag and let them sit for a day or so. Put them back into jar after and continue to burp leave lid off for hr. I feel the bud in the jars every day i burp when they are new. Then when they feel just a tad moist i will go 2-3 days and burp and look at them. I've placed them in jars too soon like you they felt ready but nope the stems are still a bit green causes moister in jars so i put all of it back in a paper bag even for just a day and they dry more evenly. Do check them and burp those buds are looking great but may be too green yet.

After I dry mine or think they are dry, I'll put them in mason jars, with a hygrometer in it, if it's to high, you just keep burping the jars till it gets like you want it,
Seems to me it smokes an burns much better at around 58-59percent than it does at 62percent.
If you put them in jars an roll it around an around, an the buds stick together ,you need to air it out some more.
GoodLuck with yours.Cfls for a week or two

Oh yes I burp my hash also... Not as often as my nugs but then I know a thing or two if not more non ?
Look my preference is hash, but then you need to know what kind of strains is better for it regardless if it Sativa or Indica, Et bien it's my humble opinion.
