I'm lost with this curing thing

so i put some dried bud in the jars, slipped an orange peel in there as well..

I woke up this morning and the buds were a little wet and the stems
don't bend anymore. i'm burping them for 15 minutes now.. When i put
the buds in before, they were pretty dry and crispy to the touch and
stems snapped. is this suppose to happen? can I smoke it like this or
should i dry it out again until the stems snap again?

one more question: do these buds look dry enough? they have been
curing for a week now. stems snapped but the taste is really weird. i've always figured that stems should snap but the color should be a lighter green than what i'm seeing here..

help?

please and thank you.

update. just read a reply to my other post, i decided to remove the orange peel.
