IMO if the stem snaps when you are drying, its over dried. I hang mine till the buds get a little crispy then they go into brown paper bags for a day or so. This will bring more of the moisture out of the center of the bud. From there i place them into curing jars with a small hygrometer. If the RH is over 70 ill place back in the bag for another day. Once the humidity gets between 60-65 youre pretty much safe on any chance of mold and then you can let it get a good cure. Thats just a quick way that i do it. Its been working great for me and with the hygrometer, itll take all the guess work out of it.
