Perplexing signs from recently jarred buds.

I jarred airy buds three days ago and haven't been able to get the humidity above 55%. When I vaped a bud today, almost no vapor came out and it barely burned. (did get high tho). One signal says dry. The other says wet. I think? What do you think is happening? What do I do?

Still though 50-55% RH isn’t horrible. Maybe just need to let your bud cure for a while. I mean it does take about a month or so in jars to really get nice and really ready to smoke.

She dried for 6 days, whole plant. I just noticed that when I shook the jar, the buds were clumped together. Another sign of wetness? So I grabbed another mason jar. They are airy buds so they take alot of space in the jar without having much mass (but I grew 4 oz out of a 2 gallon, so I'll take it. A pound of feathers and a pound of steel are both a pound of something.) The grow is spread out among 8 jars instead of 7 now. I have them open right now so they can breathe/dry. I shook them up so the buds could breathe and separate a little. She also smells grassier now that I moved the buds around. Maybe the low RH reading prolly comes from the airyness of the buds (because less-than-usual amount of wet bud divided by the more-than-usual amount of air. So you get a lower ratio of wetness to air, even tho the leaves are drenched. I'm starting to think that for this jarring, 55% IS wet. Maybe too wet. But I'm definitely open to all ideas. Please let me know if you disagree and why. I'm a rookie, and I need any advice I can get.

Yeah check your DMs we can tall about this. But yes you’re on the somewhat of the right track. Gotta let it air more everyday for the next two three weeks. Harvesting properly takes time and needs to be done right or you’ll mold up fast and ruin the whole crop. But definitely DM me and we can get you honed in, if you want of course.

How long did you dry the bud for? Are you burping your containers multiple times a day? Maybe you have bad hygrometers. If you need to bring RH back up put in some 62% Boveda packs in the jars. Hope that helps friend.
