Too dry after a week

Overdry goes to trim pile for hash! Moldy buds go to compost…

I stand corrected,but my original thrust of argument remains

SIGH:: More Secrets That I had to Fail to Get...

It takes 96 hours to Harvest Correctly
I takes 96 hours to Pre Cure...
Anything Over That Is STRICTLY Personal

My Experience:
I had a very "hairy" 88G13/HP...
She wouldnt STOP putting out Pistils even at week 10...
Dense Nugs Though...just hairy
I left her in The Jar for a Month...Her Terps changed to a Handsome Buttery Smell...
All of the "red hairs" completely FELL OFF...
All you could see was the empty Calyx...
It was weird...
I didnt get any EXTRA type high...
It was already Smooth from the 2 week flush.
It was Trippy though
The End.

Guys.. I'm getting mixed messages here, not sure what to think.
I invested a lot of money into the grow (doing hydro in thailand is expensive), and time... and if the mistake I made is not possible to fix, i will suck it up, and try again, but having said that ... I would like to "improve" what I have now taste wise.
The high is nice, but the taste is rough and its dry (on the outside). If I squeeze the bud it's, i think, soft, sort of like a marshmallow...and once ground up, the inside is moist, at least in comparison to outside of the bud.

I checked jars today again, it's same. 54% in jars, and 50% in grove bags.

I'm getting the boveda packs today. Some say it's not going to help.
I will experiment and see what happens.

Is there a way to determine how dry it actually is? And what to do if it turns out it actually is too dry? Which i guess it is since its all crumbly.

Will set inline extraction fan to low.

Yes, weigh it when it’s drying. When it stops losing weight put it in jars. First day it will lose 20-30%, after five or six days it will lose 70-75%. When it stops losing weight it’s dry.

Put The Bovedas IN Both Bags & Jars...

You mentioned 54% in the jars. That’s a little lower than ideal but not terrible. Personally I’d wait on using boveda packs. More important than do I or do I not use bovedas:

Make sure you continue to store your buds in a 58-63F range to preserve cannabinoids, terpenes, freshness as you continue to cure. This is more important than any Boveda pack.

A scenario: If you stuck a Boveda in a jar of flower and that jar is stashed under your bed.. and your room averages 70F throughout all day. Well your buds are stored in bad temps and loosing precious goodies.

You did a Okay Job This Time...
I had to fail MANY Times Before I Mastered This ART.

This was My failed Harvest & Dry...I lost half to MOLD


This was When I understood "The Secret"

After boveda packs, RH went up to 58% in jars, but stayed 51% in the Grove bags. Grove bags have a lot more weed stored compared to jars.
I'm wondering if I should transfer my buds from grove bags to jars now, see how that works.

I would try to sell it Now...While its still Fresh

Is it personal or For Sale??
What Strain Is it??
Is the High Any good??

Fuck it...Id smoke it
How much for a Gram?

Haha....
Sawasdee Kha!!

Do You Know How to Make Hashish...Or Rosin?

The boveda packs aren't going to add back the moisture that you lost. I find boveda packs are useful for long-term storage only after 3-4 weeks of curing. Your weed should be between 58 and 62 RH while curing.

That's my take (as a novice) anyway.
