I hung dry my plants trimmed for 5 days, they were really dry, the stem barley snapped, bud the buds are extremly dry, I can turn them almost into powder with my fingers. Is this normal before curing?

They are in jars right now, I think 5 days may have been too long...feedback?????

Bagging them or going right to the jar should even out the moisture content. If it dried too fast, all the way through you may need to use a wet rag inside the bag for a day to let them re-absorb some moisture.

Where did you dry? What was the temp? Humidity? How dense are you buds? Fan blowing directly on them?
 
I'm thinking the humidity was really low being that I am in Socal. Also had fan blowing on them for the 4 days they were hanging. Temp was around 65-75 degrees...

Well, I guess I will see what the jars do, if not I may need to add soemthing to re-moisturize...+rep
 
I had the same problem a month ago, hung my buds up, went away for a week's holiday.
When I got back they were really crispy.
I re-moisturised my buds by putting my open curing jars in my shower room, closed the door and took a shower. This re-hydrated my buds and allowed me to cure them as normal and they turned out fine, not perfect, but it helped!
 
i would go with lettuce becuz its has a high h20 content and plus it leaves some to no odor unless you want your bud smellin fruity
 
I think they got too dry because of fan blowing directly on them. You need airflow, but not directly on them.

Having a fan on plants, while small, is good because it causes them to sway and that causes their stems to grow stronger. It is how/why plants/bushes/trees grow thicker stems/trunks, the wind blows and they sway and that creates growth to strengthen them.

This is for curing/drying, so that is irrelevant :x

Plants continue to grow after harvesting them?
Someone is stoned. ;) :eyesmoke:
