I remember one dude tried to be an expert, and I quote roughly " I don't always go to snap". He's a YouTuber btw grateful grower maybe? Well when his stuff came back positive for mold he stopped growing and shut down his channel.

Most old-school growers don't use a hygrometer we go by feel or whatever. See when I go to snap, nice crispy outsides, trim, then put it in the jar, it is always way too moist the next day. That's why you burp. But you can tell that it got moist again. In order to smoke that you pull a bit out...

But you did mention you took some at snap, it tastes bad also? I don't know if I'm still being helpful. Your bud moisture level doesn't necessarily equal your jar RH. Are your jars air tight?

Yeah. I agree you don't need a cure for good smoke it just needs to be dry. That's why I asked him if he tested his smoke before he jarred it. I mean if your bud isn't good before you jar it it ain't gonna turn good. Some flavors can be more refined after cure but it's not how you get good...

I think you could pull a bud out of the jar and let it dry out to test it. Let it get to where it almost crumbles. If you take a bud out of your jar and snap it in half the bud should snap apart, if the stem inside is bendy it won't taste good.

And also I haven't mentioned your humidity levels because honestly it isn't needed, you can tell by feel. I do use humidity packs 55%. I use that now and I used to use 62% but I realized 55% is better for smoking.

Bummer man. Wish I could help u. Def test your stuff before you jar it then you know if it is your cure or not. But there is a chance if you leave a bud out and let it get crumbly that it will taste better. I'm just saying because there is the chance your bud could still be fire. I know I beat a...

If there is anything low on the stem not getting any light you could trim that. Once you flip into flower they will grow alot and you will want to lollipop into flower. If you lollipop too much now you will just slow down growth and cause stress. I think your trellising too early but if they...

Yeah expect a good stretch. You have a full cannapy so your ready to flip or your going to run out of room. And you're just going to be growing more that needs lolipopped off.

Sorry about that. The evidence does not point to over drying, he jarred it with wet stems, he said so. Let's ask the OP. Is your bud crumbley? Do your stems still bend or do they snap? How were your samples??? If he ever answers those questions we'll have his problem solved.

The outside of your bud should be popcorn dry. Smaller buds will be smokable. Smaller stems will snap. Then you trim it and jar it. At first the moisture goes back through the bud and instead of dry it will be spongy again. Then you burp it because that is too much moisture, so you burp it until...

Your bud probably isn't dry enough. But understand that curing isn't going to make bad bud amazing. That's why I wondered how your test samples were.

Ok so it's good before it goes in the jar or not?

And if you're new you probably didn't dry it long enough. Provided that your grow came out good. Before you jarred it did you test the dry crumbly bud? Was it fire? Then it lost the fire in the jar? Or it was never fire? Because it should still be fire before curing. And it should have been...

Are the buds sticky or wet??? From what I'm gathering you attempting to jar them before they snap because you think it is too dry otherwise? You need to dry the buds good because the little moisture retained in the stems is enough to spread back into the bud and ruin it.

The good thing is using organics, the noob mistake is to add a bunch of more stuff that won't work and not even understanding what's happening. At least it won't taste like chemical ass with organics.

EWC aren't going to fix a N deficiency in late flower. Give it a couple years bro you will learn to grow.

Fish hydrolysate is a great addition, it will boost the nitrogen in early flower and is loaded with aminos.
