Curing

[Tris420]

Hey Guys so i harvested 1 of my Plants last week ... left it hanging for like 5 days ... they felt dry on the outside but the stemps didnt snap ... so I put them in Jars .. they went over 70%RH i took them out again for a few hours .. then back in the jars with 2 boveda packs ... Now the RH is at 63% I guess thats good right? So my question is after curing for maybe 2 weeks ... will the stems snap ?

I usually cut all the stems off before jarring it up.

I believe you want to keep the humidity above 55 and below 70 so you should be good, just make sure your opening those jars on a regular basis to keep the humidity down so you don't mold. The stem snapping I just an indicator that you should be trimming and jarring your cannabis. If you did not wait that long then the stem snapping is not an issue. It may take longer than 2 weeks depending on how much moisture is still in the plant. Did you not remove most of the stem when you jarred your buds??

I dont know either im to high or Im just dumb ... I dont get it lol ... so i still got the weed in a thightvac container with the boveda packs ... but curing doesnt it mean like dry it slowly ... but how can it dry when these Boveda Packs are in there? because when i grind that weed up it still is wet you know what i mean? So i dont quiet understand how it should dry out more if it stays at the same humidity? Thanks in Advance !

Edit: Smell is awesome already the Taste is good to even tho its wet .. but yea i dont want to smoke it wet haha

the curing process will stop when the humidity gets to low.
that's the general idea behind those boveda packs, providing enough humidity for ongoing cure but keep the contents dry enough to prevent mold,
the herbs stored with them won't get bone dry but keeps a fresh consistence
