ok i hung my flowers out to dry 4 to 5 days till the felt crispy on the outside and spongy on the inside. then i moved them to a brown paper bag for a few days. then i put them in a mason jar and burped them a few times a day but now the outside is slightly moist is this normal? is that whats suppose to happen to bring the moisture to the whole bud again and finish drying evenly in the jar? they have been in there for about a week and are starting to get that smell which there was none prior to putting them in there. any help would be great ive read alot but am still nervous never did a cure before.

You want it to be "spongy" if you mean moist.. also break open a nug and it should be super sticky :) Honestly though you won't really know how it should look and feel until you get a hygrometer in the jar so you exactly for next time. Good luck

so the humidity in the jar has to be perfect for the cure? my stems dont snap but there pretty dry. im starting to get the smell and i only burp it now once a day. can you purchase a hygrometer at wallmart?

Yep.. theirs a few decent's ones but they might be bulky so watch your nugs. Best bet is to look up caliber III and buy online. It's light and slim and pretty darn accurate. When you jar it up you want it to be within the 65-70 percent RH. If your getting the smell then your probably doing the right thing lol.

spongy is good. just not WET. hygrometers are a good idea unless you're a pro, and even then they're still a good idea.

This is what I do, hopefully someone can confirm I am doing the right thing. I put my thermometer in the glass jar, in which I can see through, wait for a few hours, if its around 60 RH I assume I can keep it seal for a long time, if the humidity rise above 65% they are too wet to be in the jar.

Take a look at the directions link'd in my sig. If you have questions, I'd be happy to clarify.

Just make sure when you "burp" them, that you leave the top off for 2-4 hours after. Dont just pop the lid for 2 seconds and close it back.
Let it air out some. Do that atleast once a day for the first week or so.
