Curing in jars

[Wprior100]

I have harvested my first crop and dried it by hanging in the garage with a fan and a small heater until the stem snapped instead of bending. When I trimmed and put it into jars to cure I have a humidity inside the jars of 46% according to some small digital hygrometers.
My question is should I still be burping my jars when the humidity is at only 46% or should I monitor and burp if the humidity goes up? And if so what level should I start burping at?

I would keep an eye on it and open it and smell. God knows you worked hard enough to get it. So a sniff here or there could stop the ammonia thing fast. You don't want that.

Enjoy!

Seems a little dry to me. I normally burp them to bring the humidity down! I was understanding it should never go below ~55% or you may lose terps
You could consider trying to get them close to RH of 60% with the sachets or leave the jar open if room humidity is higher
One thing to look out for is the humidity meters don't always agree with each other
I bring mine down slowly and jar up ABOVE 60% then burp to bring down slowly
Once I'm at 60% I put it in zip bags and place in a sealed plastic bucket in a cool place. It may go up a little to 61 or 62 but that's how I find it keeps the best. Others freeze it when it's how they like it but nothing around here needs to worry about being kept too long

Burping the jars at 1st especially is important.

When in doubt burp them. Never take a chance even to jars you think are ok. Check them from time to time until the weed is gone.

I have found the perfect storage RH to be just around 60-65% RH, around 60% best for long term storage and 55% pefect for smoking it. But I also found out most RH meters are crap and way off.
Do they smoke well, or seem too dry? When you open the jar, is it nice smelling and feels a bit humid, or more like dried cut grass/dusty smell?
Do buds feel a bit elastic or they start to crumble as soon as you touch them?
Trust your senses! You may have overdried them, but that's just a lesson on what not to do next time. Rehidrating them could help a bit with smoking qualities, the boveda packs (2 way control ones) can help you add a bit of moisture back without overdoing it. But getting the harvest slow and steady to the target RH is the best for smoking experience.
