I open them often at first. Then do it less and less.

Considering those Bovida packs keep the humidity of the buds at 62% it's already too dry. The cure is in the initial drying and it sounds like you dried too fast and will have green buds that smoke harshly like the sample of Trailer Park Boys bud my friend gave me. Harsh as hell tho the buzz is pleasant.

Dried at 50% rh for three days stems where bendy did not snap so how is it to dry bud was dry to touch but sticky when sqeezed.Considering those Bovida packs keep the humidity of the buds at 62% it's already too dry.

That's good. It'll probably continue to rise as the buds stabilize. If the RH is 57-58 now, it should be right around 60 or so after it stabilizes. At least in my case. If the RH drops below 57% in the jar, I throw a Boveda pack in until the jars are stable at 60% which is what I aim for. As long as the RH doesn't drop below around 55% the buds will continue to cure. Once it's stable, I usually take out the Boveda's.
I would open them once or twice a day to get a little fresh air in and let out some of the offgasses. Then daily for awhile. Sometimes when it's really fresh the jars will actually make an actual burbing kinda sound. You can tell that buds have put off some offgassing. If they are offgassing a lot then burp more.
If you’re a cheap ass like me and can’t afford these packs and humidity levels of every single jar say fuck it and throw it in the trash, jk, but it’s recommended to “burp” your jar every day for about 20 minutes for the first week or two then follow by a week or two of 2nd to 3rd day and followed by around week 2-4 once a week for a week or two to finish it up. I also afterwards open them up every month to make sure

You want to jar where they will go up to 65 ideally, and burp them several times a day to slowly get them to 62. If it comes in higher you have to dry them a bit one way or another before jarring again.
If you just jarred them 1st time 2 hrs ago they may well go above 62 still. Its really a 24hr cycle imo. Wait until either they get to 62 or above, or give them a full 24hrs if they arent that high yet. That will tell you what you really have. Then burp several times a day...how long depends upon %.

It's probably gonna be about perfect, but I'd get some Boveda's or Integra packs for next time, just in case. I have really low RH here, so even though I dry in a closet with 55% or so RH, they still need to go in jars in 3-4 days. Then I burp them often, and kinda slow down the dry. I have to burp more this way, but it's what works for me here.

I still have a batch that i started drying sat evening rh is 50 sometimes 55% should i jar them tomorrow it will be 3 days tomorrow thats how long these buds dried for

If they feel the same as the last batch then yes jar them up after 3 days. This batch you have jarred now I have a feeling you jarred at the perfect time.

You cannot dry bud in three days, if you jar it now you will have to open often, a few times a day for the next couple of weeks. Three days dry also suggests you might be drying too fast using a fan or heater.

I do have a fan on but not blowing on the bud

I use a fan in my drying closet to circulate some air around the buds. I don't have it blowing straight on them though.

That's easy to say by someone from Hawaii, lol. You don't have low RH. I've been there. It's beautiful, but humid.
