Harvest & Curing hanging for 6 days

Don't paper bags speed up the dry? The moisture wicks into the paper vs. slowly dissipating.[/QUOTE

I only used them to dry once but I don't believe so. You close the bag so the moisture slowly dissipates through the paper to give a more even dry.

Ah ... hrm ... food for thought

Ok so ended up just leaving them alone for the 6 days without a lot of air exchange going on and a lot of foliage and I came back to branches that were still pretty wet. Manicured anyway and jarred it but the buds moistened up a lot and they stink like hay/grass/chlorophyll. The buds are now spread on a piece of paper and I'm leaving them out for 24 hours to try and dissipate the bulk of the moisture still in there.

If they still feel wet they are not near ready to go in jars.
Get yourself a little cheap digital hygrometer like this

Any cigar shop will have them or cheaper models.
For under $20 you can be eliminate any guessing.
If I jar them and they are over 75%, I pull them back out and try again about 12 to 24 hours later depending on my ambient rh.
I never put them in jars for good at anything more than 70%. Burp them daily for 4-6 weeks and you have a proper cure.

word, thanks Chester. It's not much ... my first plant ... aka the experiment.

But we don't call her that to her face....
