Would like some advice on drying

[dwin863]

I am a first time grower and my question is. Can the buds dry too quickly? I have had my plants hanging upside down in a well ventillated, cool, dark room for one week now and the outsides of the buds are sort of crunchy. (for lack of a better word) Some of the smaller branches will snap but not break, and the stem within the buds do not snap as of yet. I live in a low humidity area as well.
This is my own personal smoke and I don't want it to smell like hay or taste like it either. I have done some reading on this and from what i can gather, I think maybe I should go to jars at this point and just watch for mold real close. Am I thinking correctly? any advice would be greatly apreciated.

I think it'd be a good idea, but be careful if the outside is crunchy or you might lose a lot of good shakey stuff in the process of putting them in jars. Either way, you can always take them back out of the jars and hang them back up if need be, I like to cure/dry by doing 12 hours hanging and 12 hours curing each day after the 3rd day of hanging.

You will be fine putting them in jars, even in the guides they expect your bud to be little damp anyways. Hence the "open the jars for an hour or two if it mists up" basically.

I dry for about 7 days and then dump em in the jar and after 10 days or so it starts to smell sooooooooooo good :jointsmile:.

Hope that helps,
