Wondering about others drying techniques, my buds don't smell skunky and I'm wondering if it was my drying technique. A bud that I pulled to test for trichomes smell amazing and tasted great, it dried in my desk drawer for 4 days. My harvest dried over 9 days in my tent at 60% humidity and 60 degrees F (for the most part). The stems were not snap dry, the buds felt dry, and the humidity in the jars were 62-65%. Any pointers greatly appreciated. I've been burping the jars for 10 days, they have 62% boveda bags planning to leave them for 2 weeks without touching the jars and see if the smell improves
 
Yes they are, and I measure by inserting the probes directly into the bud. I always use the main colas and check the whole plant. As long as they are under 13% you're fine, but I wouldn't go below 10%.
Agreed- I use one to determine when to place drying buds in Grove bags and also can be used to monitor the drying process-you can purchase one at a big box store for like $20; use the "wood" setting.
