yes this is normal frank, the humidity is a little high, so i would check there good airflow between the buds put a fan on in the room but don't point it at the buds as you want indirect airflow to reduce the chance of bud rot

if any of the buds has fuzzy white stuff in the center of the larger buds, they have bud rot and need to be binned as smoking them could damage your heath

its very clear and you can't miss it ( looks like cotton wall, then it turns into a black spongy crap

also the buds smell of hay when there mold

LOL, the OP's plants were most likely harvested by now!
This thread is still active by questions best asked in their own thread!

When the stems "crack" and not bend... Do not wait until they "snap" in half!
Try and get at least half gallon jars to cure in, and use Bovita "62" packs in those to after about 2 weeks on their own with "burping" ... Continue the cure for another 6 weeks and then taste THAT!
You have better taste and the perfect maturation of the trichomes, adding a better end THC content!

Boveda (real spelling) packs are controllers of the RH of the inside of the jar! They will "put and Take" humidity as needed to keep it there..
Thus the product inside will remain at that "perfect" curing RH of 62 (my fav. MM RH! Cigars are kept higher at around 70+% RH)

dr. who advice may be very good but you need to be really careful, i would buy a large plastic box 20-30ltrs and when you think most the buds are dry put them in the box and lay them on the bottom spaced out as well as you can and open the lid every 12 hours and move the buds round
check the buds to make sure most buds are not damp or sticky , if they are leave the lid off for 6 hours and try again

you just want to keep it simple this time mate
