Buds drying too fast!

I harvested saturday and the buds have been hanging in the tent with a fan just moving the air underneath.
The stems havent cracked yet but are getting pretty firm. My concern is with the buds, the're pretty fluffy buds so they've dried out quicker than expected and are already very crunchy and crispy. i know i can remoisturize the buds once there in jars but i was wondering if i could just go ahead and jar them with the stems still a little wet; to help counteract the dry buds.

Thanks a ton,

Never re moisturize your bud unless it's so dry it's turning to dust. It will turn it a darker green and diminish its value. Also I recommend against using jars drop a couple and pick the glass shards out of your buds and you will probably quit as well. If you want a great long term storage bag Can-Filters makes great light proof heat sealable bags. Normally people will hang their buds until the outsides of the buds are crispy but if you try and crunch a bud you can feel the moisture inside. Destem all of the buds and place them in bags. Then let the bags sit overnight. The next day you will see that the moisture on the inside of the buds has been drawn out and the outside are again moist. The bags are then dumped onto large tupperware lids and allowed to dry out until once again the outsides are crisp and then they are bagged up again. This process will be repeated several times until the outside of the buds remain crisp.

ok i didnt know that about re moisturizing. i plan on mirroring your process for curing, just inside of jars (and ill be extra careful because the thought of dropping them did cross my mind.) i guess im just gonna wait till the stems pop before i move them, hopefully your corect and there is still enough moisture in the center of the buds, seems logical.
Thanks for your advice
