10 Days of Drying and my moisture meter wasn’t reading anything so I decide to bag my buds. Put them in a Grove Bag with a cheap humidity and it’s reading around 50% after a few days. Did I dry too long and mess up the cure phase?

Nah man, youll be fine at 50% the humidity will fluctuate.

If ya got a couple of green leaves, you can drop a couple in the bag and it will increase the humidity level.

Buds look nice. I put some in a cure bag and must have left a section open and it got a little crispy. I put a orange peel in and the next day it was back to where the humidity should be. I also bought a moisture meter and check the buds during drying process and it works great. Check it out, I purchased from lowes $29

My hanging buds dry faster when fan leaves are trimmed (wet trim).
Hanging wet trimmed buds works best for me and they look great.
No wet trim becomes problematic and tedious trimming when dry.
Any RH from 50-65% I can jar and fix (too low, add some fresher and too high, leave jar open).
The no wet trim buds were still wet after a week and a bitch to trim.
Also if you use cure bags don’t include bodeva packs or squeeze out air in the bag. Don’t pack the bag and leave some space

good advice, same with jar contents.
Allows gentle tumble or uncompressed movement, too.
I like to bag or jar with these. Not all read correct, but close enough

I have some of those myself and there cheap but work well. Nice add on happy growing
Temperature causes some fluctuation in RH numbers, no worry.
Too high, mold potential, big worry.
Too low, no problem, drop in a fresher bud for moisturizing the jar/bag/weed/buds.
Works well.

Good luck this is the important step.

@DEEPDIVERDAVE that’s what I was afraid of that dry trimming would be hard. My last harvest I wet trimmed and a dried over dried and 3 days. So this one I got hanging but was going to dry trim it so it dried properly. What makes dry trimming so hard?
Shrinkage.
You ever snow ski?
Beer drinking should be avoided.
Easy to trim wet because long nose scissors can snip fans.
Once dry much more intrusive to get into bud for snipping.
Bag sweating and jar can slow down.
I trim fans after a day or two.
@DEEPDIVERDAVE yeah I was thinking about just trimming it up today while it is still fluffy. I took the line out of the small cabinet and hung everything up and my hallway closet and the humidity has been between 58 to 62 the whole time in the closet but yeah I’m thinking I’m just going to trim them up today anyway
