I have been drying in 68-70 temp with 50-55 humidity. This branch has been drying for 6 days in that and still wet as hell.
Edit: that was the lowest smallest branch on my plant. And people say drying in 65 temp is better for a slower dry. And around 55 humidity.

And also I notice in your picture with your jar of flower. Your flowers look like they have alot of hairs in them and I mean ALOT. Looks like you had a few weeks left to go. So pulling early may not be thr best smoke. Notice my pic, barely any hairs on top bud, the white pitils turn orange then swell back into the calyx. I am chopping top buds this weekend(probably could today, but being patient) and giving middle and lower growth additional week or 2.

Your buds are soft because you harvested early and never even let them start to swell


better luck next time.
I just said they aren’t soft I’ve harvested way earlier on my first grow .. and was never soft so this case they are definitely just not dried all the way I cut all my buds off and laid them on a mesh sheet but I guess they didn’t dry out all the way I left the main stems alone and hung them both

That depends on the way how you dry it, if you dry the whole plant, those lower branches dries out as last, they might be even wet when top buds are already dried more than enough. If you cut it away, it dries way earlier than top buds. Anyway you are right about hatvesting early, problem is that it was not because of impatience but if you have plant without leaves, than she wont flower so much…
