is the branch in the bag? if so take it out. as long as some sort of air can move around, preferrably fresh air, it'll be great. if not you could get bud rot. my first crop, I made a similar mistake (during curing) and looked in one day, I about shit. 2 good handfuls were all rotted and mildewed, I had to throw out 2 oz out of the 8 oz harvested. that SUCKED!

if you must use a bag, use paper, not plastic... or else you'll rot your bud

 

[Ronnie]

wouldn't even paper rot it, if it was closed up inside?

 

[vintner]

yes, it needs good ventilation to dry quick enough to prevent mold growth.

what's the benefit of drying in a bag? put it on a screen and gently turn 'em over every 2 days.

The bag should remain closed. The room may need ventilation (especially in a small area like a closet of bathroom of if you have A LOT of weed), but they will dry nice and slow if you keep them in a paper bag with the top folded down.
It's important to open the bag every day for a few minutes and gently "comb" the buds with your fingers. This promotes even drying, and gives you the oppotunity to get a whiff of how they're doing. At the first sign of a musty or dirty diaper smell, take the buds out and hang dry them.
I've been bag curing for 15 years and I've never had any grow mold.
I live in CA. (low humidity). Bag drying may not be for you if you live in for example LA.

the slower you dry the buy the better it is when smoking it , that is why you dry slow not fast !

I know that, I dry THEN cure. never tried to dry in a bag
