Curing jars long should i still cut buds off of stems ?

If, as others say, my advice is to remove the stems once it's almost dry. I take off the larger leaves from the buds for 1 or 2 weeks until they're crunchy. It depends on the room temperature and ambient humidity. I usually do a second round of leaves and remove the sticks since they retain much more moisture. Once they're in a glass jar, check them for 2 weeks 3 or 4 times a day!! If you see that the buds are very humid, take them out onto plastic or paper to help remove moisture so they don't rot or form mold! After these 3 or 4 weeks, they should be just right!!! Be careful not to dry too fast, or you'll ruin those tasty terpenes!!!

Rusrahl is right. Remove the buds from the stems and give it a good shake every day. If the bud sticks together, then dump it all out, separate them and stick them all back in the jar. Do it daily until when you give them a shake they separate easily. When they do just pop the top fornancouple of minutes and check the next day and the next. By my 3rd day of them not sticking to each other, then I switch to burping them once a week. Hope this helps!

I would cut them off the stems for a proper cure in my opinion. You want the buds to be close together and the jar almost full, like 4/5 full. Just enough so you can loosen the buds every now and again to let them breath. Hope this helps. Cheers 💨
