Dry the buds until the stems break with a 'snap'..then into the jars.
I had them hanging for 3 days and was planing on a full 7 day hang. Then the humidity dropped to 14% and the buds got crispy and brittle. I took them down and got them in jars to stop the drying any more. I had a humidifier but it busted and didn't work so my options were limited. I am hoping that leaving the jars open for so long, so many times a day will allow them to continue to dry a bit but smooth it over so as not to make them brittle all the way through to the core of the bud.
