can you dry for too long? I wanted to dry slow I put the buds in a paper bag to dry slower than the screen they were on earlier. the room is 65-75% humidity low 70's to high 70's.

i'm not worried about mold, i can check for that.

I put some in a jar with hydrogemeter some came out 65% other was 80%
 
I will usually dry for about 5 days (depending). 45-55%@70. This is where it gets tricky because I have noticed different strains can dry differently. I try to aim for stems snapping cleanly but not as snappy as say kindling for a firepit. Then i let them sweat in paper bags for a day and then put them in plastic turkey bags until i can process it. i will burp the bags daily too. I usually jar up my personal stash and burp once a week
 
From a cureing/fermenting perspective ,, the longer they take to dry the better --untill you run into mold

It gives the plant more time to breakdown unwanted material such as chlorophyl
 
Thanks, thats what i thought. I just wante to mak sure because these ones have been drying way longer than anything else I've done.
