In total darkness or some light, or in your grow area with your grow light on? What's the humidity in the drying area, have a fan running?

Ye that is really quite normal after the first day & may take 7 to 14 days to slow air dry but depends on average temperature along with RH.
The first few inches of the stem should crack but not fully break towards the end of the slow air dry & then ya ready for the curing process the jars need to be burped twice daily for about 15/20 minutes each time for the next 2 weeks... then ya pretty much can seal up 'n' store with out worries about mold problems.
I myself prefer to dry with temps around 20c to 21c & for the first few days i run my dehumidifier to help maintain a RH value of 50% after that & for the remaining period i like RH around 60% which can help with strains which are prone to bud rot & yes this can happen during the slow air dry period !

They say we learn from our mistakes. You learned a lot this time. I would say that it was a successful grow, indeed! ;-)
And the harvest wasn't too shabby, either!
