If you fill a Mason jar with bud, put a hygrometer in the jar and tighten down the lid what is the humidity in the jar after a couple hours?
If its too humid indoors its probably too humid outdoors.
Sun dried meh = probably not the best ideer. Hang it in the barn like tobaky.
Put it in a room with AC should only take a few more days.

The thing im asking is if the weed potency will get impacted by sun drying. UV ruins thc. But a black towel should block that
Hang in the shade then .... if your RH is lower outside. Cant you open the window? Just a thought.

The rh outside is 48%, in the shade it would take considerably longer to bring it down to 48% and i dont wanna have weed hanging around outside no more than i need to ...
48% is way too dry. You want something like 65% before going into containers.
Someone mentioned putting some flower you have hanging in a jar with a lid on it with a hygrometer. You might be where you need to be right now.
48% = hay. You dont want that.

How do i know if they're ready to jar? The " break a stem and if it staps its ready" method is complete bullshit
Snapping stems is not very good way to tell if you plant is ready for storage.
Put some trimmed flower into a jar with a hygrometer and put a lid on it and let it sit overnight. Check the hygrometer without opening the jar. If your close to 65% yer good to go.
I dont really stress on it too much. After I trim, I put flower in jars. Check them every day take lids off let it breath a little bit for an hour maybe. If the buds are still damp I empty them out into a cardboard box and let them sit in that overnight and that's usually enough that they can be stored long term. After a month or so I will add a Boveda 62% pack into each jar for long term storage.

Pretty impossible to tell how dry it is until you put the bud in a jar with a hygrometer.

I run a fan on low in my dry room, to assist in an even dry. But until you bottle some with a gauge overnight, you will not know where you are at. It's easier to get rid of RH but going the other way can be tough.
