Feedback on curing

Looking for some feedback on how my curing process is coming along.
Ultimately I don’t know if my hygrometers are accurate and if I should be burping the jars for longer periods than I have been.
2 different brand hygrometers, readings range from 52% in one jar and the remaining 6 reading from 55~60%.
You can see in the pic how the buds are stuck together after flipping the jar upside down, most break free, but most jars have some clumping.
Weed itself is sticky and leaves residue on my fingers, so not sure if it’s just sticky buds clumping or my hygrometers are way off. Little stems snap clean when I bend them.
Any thoughts on how long I should be burping my jars, or if this is just a matter of sticky buds?
First went into jars 4/25, appreciate any inputC0D560EA-CCEC-4EF4-B50F-E15C8F17403A.jpeg

Can't really tell from a pic. If in doubt remove the bud from the jar for a couple hours.
Separate them to dry individually. You can check your hygrometers with a salt test.

I figured it was a long shot even asking opinions on this since people can’t really see for themselves. They don’t feel wet/moist, but greasy maybe, smoke fine in a pipe, don’t smell green or moist either. I left for work and forgot to close the lids on my jars, so hopefully the next 7 hours is just what they needed

Fill a bottle cap with pure salt and add enough distilled water to dissolve it. Put it in an airtight container or ziplock with your hygrometers for a few-12 hours until they stabilize. Note the difference from what they read and 75% RH. That's how far off they are.
There are ways to re-calibrate hygrometers but the little cheapie ones don't take to it very well.
