My apartment's humidity is 40% - harvested buds completely dried out in under 24 hours. Should I place my next harvest directly into jars to avoid the mistake I made in my first grow? I would appreciate any suggestions (I cannot control the ambient humidity). Thanks!

Hi @EhlersChick. Don't do that! You will ruin your final product and risk to encounter mold issues. This is strange since you're close to the ideal drying RH (~50%), can't this be related to your temperature? You should consider building a drying box, I've made one out of cardboard and it's working fine. Basically, a cardboard container with a passive intake hole and a tiny computer fan (mine is 4x4cm) to extract the air and generate a smooth airflow in your box. Put the box in your coolest room, if RH is too low you can put a mister/humidifier in the same room. Finally, you may consider giving your plants a last watering right before the cut (24-48h before the cut), this should increase the drying time because of more water in the buds. Hope this will help, enjoy your harvest! 👊

Hello ! If you do that you will have bud rot for sure. A Quick drying is better than a bad drying. Like Athos told you the bathroom is always the room with the higher RH so hang them here next time. I hope it will help you😁👍

I've never tried to place them into jars without drying them and would not advice you to. What I would do is to look for a better place for drying them, like a cabinet in a bathroom or kitchen where is usually colder and more humid. In my old place, the humidity was low and the temperature was high, making the drying time really short. A good cure went a long way and it's what I would advice you to do (at least 2 months).
