That's what I do.
After that into jars and burp em every day for a week and then leave them. But not for long

Hey @Treetrunk

Just checked in on one of the harvest plants..the outer part of the bud feels very dry however the stems attached to the buds aren't snapping, just bending and same with the longer part of them stem I've hung it from. Have I over dried when my bud feels almost brittle (its not) but it is dry. Hope I've not screwed this up.

Hi @wutang
It's very tempting but them buds will still be too wet.
Wait until most of your twig's and branches snap.
Have you got jars ready?
You can't have long to wait.

Im just a bit scared as the buds feel dry and crispyish on the outside...is that normal?

Its the 9th day today since chop and hung them upside down by major branches for dry trim.

Temps between 15 - 18c

Humidity has been on average around 55%

I wouldn't do it.
Too much moisture in the jars

@Treetrunk as in you wouldn't jar them yet and wait until the stem actually makes a snap ans breaks off nicely?
