Hi guys. I've been hanging my first harvest for 5 days now. I've read some people jar at this point but some people dry for up to 2 weeks. I can't see my buds needing this long as they're really dry and crispy on the outside already, even though the stems aren't snapping yet. I've smoked a couple of the smaller buds too and although they need curing for that extra smell and taste, I'm really happy with the high. The temp of my tent has been between 18 and 20 degrees and humidity has been between 45 and 50% while hanging. My question is, do I jar them at this point? Or wait for the stems to snap. I've added a couple of pics if they help. Any advice or point of view would be greatly appreciated.

Jar em and see what your humidities are. If in doubt just put half in and see how it goes and let the rest hang longer?
 
Two weeks hang dry sounds crazy., 5-8 days the most and the advice jd gave u sounds good do that jar half and wait for half to snap. Gl
 
My target time is atleast 3-5days. a week if its super dense, huge, or w.e.

I let mine hang for longer than a week if i cant get to it. the main thing to keeping it going and it not turning to crud is to make sure it never fully dries out. i have mine in a dark place where the humidity is controlled. so if i dont trim it after a week it will not get messed up because its not fully dry. once the stems snap i pull it down because its dry enough to start degrading or turning to browness. humidity is good and bad depending on what youre trying to do. if you cant control your humidity then keep them more on the dry side so u dont get mold since ur new to curing.

Curing is where alot of people go wrong. They see a sexy nug and expect it to be awesome w/o some kind of cure. i like extra stone on my bud so i dont mind a long cure. but if youre looking for a daytime or more uplifting finish cut it sooner so ur trichs stay on the lighter side; instead of yellow gold or brown. cheers good luck. h
