Buds drying...are they too dry???

Alright, so about one week ago I clipped and started drying my buds. I have left them in a closet, with a fan going (not pointed at them) to help air circulate. As this is my first time, the only way I know how to determine dryness is by the "snap" of the branch.

One week in and there is still no "snap" of the branch, just a fold. However, the buds themselves feel bone dry to the touch. Is this normal? Should I start curing them now?

As well, if in fact I have dried them too much, can I rehydrate them during the curing? I seem to remember having read somewhere that you can rehydrate them if they get too dry, but I cannot remember where. Thanks in advance for the help!

If they don't rehydrate after being in a jar overnight, put a fresh carrot in the jar for 4 or 5 hours. Works great.

Try the jar and carrot thing, dont let them dry any longer even if the stem doesnt snap. The last thing you want is crispy weedies! Tell me how it goes!
