You are totally right!Yeah bags never stay sealed well for long.
What you just experienced is totally normal- it’s why people ‘burp’ their jars. Especially in the days before we all had cheap digital hygrometers to toss in the jars.
Dry till the stems ‘snap’ (meaning not literally break, but fold 90° when you bend them.) The bud dries on the outside, but is often still wetter in the middle. Stick it in a container for a while and it equalizes. Open up the jar for a couple hours (or whatever length of time depending on the situation), or in more drastic cases take the bud out to dry for a while. Re-jar. Let it equalize, repeat as needed.
The accepted RH for mould to survive is around 70. Above that and you are in danger.
Most people dry to around 60.
The hygrometers are usually only accurate within 3 or 4 degrees. I have a bunch and they all read different things. Some are completely screwy and just say - whatever. So don’t trust them too much.
It’s funny seeing the ads for hygrometer/thermometers online. Some vendors sell them by the half dozen, and if you look in the pics they’re all showing different temps and RH
