Because your environment is off. 60/60 is the best drying environment.

No you need longer dry humidity needs to be in 60s temps 20s at least a two week dry first week above then lower humidity.once the stems snap clean.hang hole plant as this will give more humidity and slow the dry down.i see green wet flowers. Think of a conker tree 🌳 kids chucking sticks at green conkers when a conker is ready the tree is yellow and the conkers spitting out I lower the water over the last few weeks this let's the plant finish ie pull all its sugars the plant needs to dry I see people rush the last weeks especially the dry.

Sorry, also. After 7 to 9 days depending on how the buds feel, i'll drop everything in a grove bag with a humidity monitor and leave it for 24 hours. Then i check the humidity. If it's at 70% i'll open the bag for an hour, then close it back up and check humidity later on. If it's at 68% i open the bag again for an hour or 2. Close it up and check later. If the humidity dropped to say, 52%, thats too low and i will spray distilled water into the bag and let the buds absorb the moisture. When i get to 62% humidity, i seal the bag and toss it in a closet for at least 1 month to cure. No need to gas off in grove bags they allow for the passing of chlorophyll through the material, and will also maintain a 62% humidity. Spraying distilled water into the bag to raise the humidity is called sweating. At least thats what we called it 30 years ago. Today the kids probably have some stupid name for it haha

When i dry, i dry in absolute darkness with a fan blowing indirectly in the space to circulate air. It's better to dry slow. I dry over the course of 7 to 9 days. I wet trim to perfection and then lay everything out on a multi tiered drying rack. I run a humidifier in there with distilled water and maintain a humidity of 60%. I do not extract the air from the space. If i have trouble with temps getting a little high then i raise the humidity to 70%. The slower you dry the better. The longer the cure the better the over all outcome. I don't trim and leave the bud on the stems. I think that's just a lotta bullshit work for nothing. I don't care about a stem snap. I care about how the product feels in my fingers. I don't need a stem to tell me shit.

Also. Are you trimmimg as you harvest That'll speed up the process by a few days if you are. You should harvest whole. Leafs can be clipped of (roughly) when they limp that's the buds process of suckinh all that goodness and prolonging your dry. So, harvest whole, hang up side down yes, after a few days. You'll know when you can trim the leafs (roughly) that'll then alr get around the bud. These are simple steps but crucial in drying my friend

That's too quick.. Does your weed smell of hay (bushwhack, its a typical of home grown. It's the 1st real thing that you'll learn is crucial the prep stages before you harvest. Your temp + RH is spot on. Actually should be taking 7-10 days to dry as they're my temps in last month of winter. Before harvest, you feed really heavy on water right? As if you dry harvest. You really ought to know what you're doing. Or most likely you'll end up with a nasty hay smell when you smell u bud up close. Yes, there's a smell. But up close if you're not getting a much deeper intense smell you get from a far.. you've missed a step in the process. This window open.. hmmm, could be causing the quick exchange of moisture and your bud is dying out. Typically its just a good ventilation in room. No window to outside air exchange. That might be your issue. Just open your dry room door ever few hrs & have something that keeps air circulating. You want that, not air exchange. Feel free to mes me. As if your pot is dry when you harvest. You just need to make sure she'll heavy upon harvest. The longer the drying time the more the bud has to dry properly and retain its good tastes as opposed to harshness and crispy bud. You also want a bounce in your weed. On the cure you should be able to feel your weed a lil bit wet. That's mostiure been dried from the inside out. That's why at the start of a cure. The 1st 10 days of so. You gotta pop that lad every day? 2x-3 a day even, you'll know depending on its cure.
