Should I be concerned for the curing stage?

I dried my blueberry auto for 10 days at 65F/55RH to a slight “snap” in the stems. Right now it’s got a really great odor, taste and strong high. However currently sitting in the jar 4 hours post trim RH is at 50. The buds are not dried out at all, very sticky. Is this too low?

sticky or moist... they should feel a little crispy on outside before tehy enter jar.. they will 'even' out after 12-24 hours... the buds should move around if you jiggle the jar. if they stick together, may need to leave jar open for a bit or pull them out for a while... depends on how much they are sticking to each other. 2-way humidipaks are your friend... they have limits, of course... can only absorb so much mass and can only evaporate so much... as long as you are close when you start, it'll cover the small error.

They are definitely sticky not wet, jar is 1/2 to 3/4 full and the buds inside shake around without sticking to each. They are not what I would call dry either. Far from it to be honest. I threw in a boveda 62 pack and the RH has gone up to 53 since. Hopefully the boveda packs will help add some moisture and I can just burp the jars once or twice a day and get even better smoke in another 15-30 days.

Hey buddy. So here's what I've learnt about the curing process. And I've read a fair bit. What you are wanting is 10-15% mostiure left in your bud. Me, I like 20%. So, say you have a 100g wet you are looking for 10-15% so 10-15g and the rough weight for the weed would be about 50% of the mostiure weight for the weed so 10-15g depending on your pref and 50% of that weight so you are looking to get back around 18-24grams. I dried 89grams wet got back 17g of bud and 2g of allowable trim. When you have dried cure your bud in a jar(s) and burp twice a day, leave the tin open for a min and excess unwanted mostiure will leave and itll bring down your RH, burping twice a day eap8cally with fresh cut weed you have to make sure to burp to lower the RH and dont just open it for a few secs leace it open for a min and if you can move the weed around a bit 3/4 full u should be able to move it. Hope this helps pal. Good luck

don't let it sit wet in the jars, it will start smelling like hay. Let it dry more before jarring
