Drying/Curing Nub Question >-<

I had to chop early, so I couldn't trim the stuff while it was fresh. I threw it all on a screen for 5 days. The leaves and stuff all shrank like crazy and I just got done cutting all the junk off. The stems don't snap, but they're close. I live in a dry place and they were chillin in the dark. I threw the little buds into the jars and the cola on a string to dry still.

Should I take out the little bits and let them dry more, then stick em back in the jars? How do you know when it's too dry, do the trichromes dry up or wha? Sorry, this is my first time. THank you! I swear I won't go asking more nub questions (I looked through search, but I wanted more specific opinions ;D).

...I prefer 2 weeks drying....then into the jars....keep in dark, cool place, with light air circulation...either leave the jars open some each day or lay them on you screen some more.....enjoy :).....ps ...don't handle them more than needed....light-air-heat...is hard on trich's..

just make sure when you put the buds in the jar they are not wet at all, it will mold up on ya
