Drying too much?

I checked my drying buds last night and they were still slightly moist and sticky. I decided to let them go overnight. But this am they were very dry. I put them in jars but I'm concerned they won't cure correctly. Should I try to introduce some moisture to the process at this point? And if so, how? Thanks!

Don't add any artificial moisture, this will most likely only cause mold. If you went too far, the bud will be dry, but still be good, live and learn.

after a day or 2 in the jar they should more moist again, the outsides supposed to feel slightly crispy while the stems will still bend not snap when you start curing,so does the stem break or bend? if they break you may have waited a bit too long, if so i'd say still wait on doing anything for a day or 2. if its still way to dry go ahead and in the jar add something semi-moist, orange peels, lettuce,moist paper towel, it dont really matter. You gotta watch it close though, dont leave it in for more than 4-6 hrs, that should be plenty of time in my experience.

Just put em in the jar. the bud's will pull moisture from the stems you are fine.
Along with this, open jars after 12 hrs, buds will prob be moist again, lay buds out for 2-3 hrs, back to jar for 12 hrs.....out again.....drying and curing is a step to step process and is where most will ruin their buds if not followed closely.

put them in jars with an accurate hygrometer and you'll know exactly how you're doing. after 12-24 hours if you rh is less then 55% they are too dry, over 70% start burping and you are good.
