Just some advise

I’ve taken these down trimmed and jarred them with a hygrometer inside how long will it take to show the true humidity and if it’s too humid or not

also any tips on where to place the prob

Nice work on the harvest and jarred buds! Now it's time to play the waiting game. Typically, it takes a few hours to a day for the humidity to settle and give you a true reading. As for the hygrometer probe, stick it right in the middle of the jar, surrounded by your precious buds. That way, you'll get a good idea of the overall humidity. Keep an eye on those readings and make sure the humidity stays in the sweet spot for curing.

Thank you so much mate this is what I needed to know am not quite sure if they are dry enough so I’ll keep an eye on it am I safe as long as they don’t go too high then? Just with the humidity

Pretty sure that probe is for the "out" temp on the gage not humidity.

Oh no so humidity is the meter

I think it is the humidity

I looked up that device. The probe measures temperature only. Just put the entire device inside the jar.

Sucks being new to this I’ve ordered some mini hygrometers now thank you guys I appreciate all the help

Grown for years, never used one. Burp and smell. That will tell you where you are.

You also dont want to leave the bud jarred up too long if its not dey enough, id check it after the first hour to see if the nugs are moist, if it feels too moist to roll up a joint then toss them out for a couple of minutes

This is where it kinda becomes art. You'll get it.

To wet means it needs some air. Too dry and you can recover with a moist cotton ball. It is an art.

Small connoisseur growers learn. Big farms don't care. That's why most of us that know better stay away from dispens.

What I do with jars of buds:

Flip the jar upside down. .. do the buds stay clumped and most if any of the buds do not fall? --keep burping once or twice a day. Tumble the jar on its side to "stir" the buds, pop the lid & take a big whiff of the jar, put the lid back on & flip upside down again. .. you should see the buds fall more freely. That's what you're looking for as to when to stop burping, and the moisture in the jar should be spot-on at this point.

My 2 cents? I don't worry too much about the actual humidity in the jar, for me the "clumping" of the buds is a telltale sign they still need to lose some moisture. For me, 62% is too wet anyway, back when I did measure jar RH I found the sweet spot for smokable buds was more like 55-ish.
