drying

ok...i've been drying a couple of beautiful little girls for about a week now...this is my first grow so i'm not exactly sure what to expect at this point. they're in a dark walk thru closet with a small fan on em from a distance (the fan is only occasionally) and they seem to be drying nicely. my question is that the buds still feel quite loose and (brown) hairy. not tight like the good buds i'm used to buying. the plants are only about a foot and a half tall (very small closet grow) and when i harvested them, they were fat and succulent just like all the pics i see on here. I just want to make sure that I dont screw up the last step after putting sooooo much love and attention into these beautiful litle girls. I want to achieve that perfect bud quality and not something that's gonna crumble into dust as soon as I break it apart. (is there such a thing as over drying??)

post pics i have seen in so many places that say wait a week to 2 weeks for curing i have also heard that how u can mess it up by trying to rush the drying it doesn't sound like ur rushing it... the fan not even needed but post pics and give it a couple days pull off a lil bit smoke a bowl and let us know how it is

plants like most living things are made of mostly water so when you dry you loose most your weight

there are few reasons it could have been loose/airy
light source too far away
light source to weak to penetrate canopy. what type of light do you have?
stress and strain

you can over dry buds, generally if you can break a branch and hear it snap, their generally about ready to put in jars, usually takes atleast 7-10 days before you jar up

Good question.. I am learning alot. My hubby and I are Texas Grass fan club members..LMAO j/j He is so dam smart though.. we luv'm .. anyways.. How did it turn out?

PEACE !
SHINE!
