Aaah, I think I see your problem in the past, constant environment is probably the best thing. If they were in a super dry enviro the quick dry would do what you are describing I think as the chlorophyl has not had the time to actually die off, then they go into a different atmosphere (the jars) which I think then changes what is happening to the bud (i.e totally slows down the dry/cure) but in your situation probably not in the best way. Makes total sense of your decision then. This is what I love about growing and to be honest, most things in life.
Not everything is a constant, not everything should be done only one way.
Right on brother.. I think my main issue is that I have ~40% RH and my buds would dry crisp in 2-3 days max so then I jar them.. it quickly raise up to 70% humidity within hours. I air dry in couple hours crisp again, back to 70% humidity in hours. This would go on for weeks battling hay smell, and over drying the buds. This was buds basically manicured like I would if I am jarring, nice neat you know. Then dry.. but it seemed to dry quickly and then never let any moisture outside unless you cracked the buds when smoking but then its too late or even not started. This did bring out a hint of smell as well other then hayish, as the potency was decent I thought until now. From my first couple of runs, I can see already I wasted years of my crops doing it that trimmed dry way, the hay smell is NEVER there anymore, the smell is almost TOO much, the buds are the consistency and spongy feel I want. Before they were just hard, they looked beautiful but hard and ya they weighed more because of all the water retained maybe thats why many use it, quantity over quality the new American way (yes I am American).
This way it seems to never "trap" the water so the bud can not equalize per say and continue to dry and I think even cure. All I know is that the first couple strains I did with this method over my last method, was 10x better then anything I have produced and that is the only change I did because I wasn't satisfied with my end result (I never am but I am getting close).
DST turned me on to going from the dry rack to a paper bag for a day or two before jarring which has proven to be effective in slowing down the drying process and helping the true flavors come out.

I would swear by the bag thing, have seen loads of peeps doing it and no negative feelings towards that method.
Some late afternoon outdoor scrOg prOn for the club...

Very nice FM, I'll pop up some pics of my outdoor girls I took last night. I also LST'd them but have not gone for a screen. Unfortunately we don't get the same quality of weather here (I know I know, I am a moaning bar-steward about weather) so I rely on being able to move them.
I also jacked this idea
.When you burp jars how long do you usually do it for ?
I am burping twice daily at least, and normally leave them to stand for a few minutes. I always give them a little manipulation with a few turns of the bottle. And often lift them up and down with the lid off (my way of doing Reps, lmao) to get the air flowing in.
A few hrs at first then progressively less until the jar is burped no more
Well Ill tell ya something I learned from D wether he know it or not lol If you do happen to over dry something, put a fan leaf in the jar and close it and check moisture content until your satisfied then remove the fan leaf... And yes, you can leave the leaf in too long and get really soft almost wet buds again.
I also like the paper bag usage.
That's exactly what I was going to post.
Also, D mentioned using a small piece of fresh stalk to re-hydrate.
cof
hehe, cof beat me to it, yupper, also a stalk is good for returning moisture
Well on the topic of weather.....it's shit here, lol. Grey skies and rain...boooooooooo.
Peace and sunshine to all,
DST
