Stick them in a paper bag until they are good and dry, and then the jar.

What was the dry cycle ? How many days, ballpark estimate of the dry temps.

How long have they been in the jar ?


Mold is the least fun of all.

Better to over-dry them, than under-dry.


Do you have a window where they can be in the sun for short periods of time ? (one way to dry them)

they hung for 6 days and its between 68 ta 72 and theyve been in jars for about a full day i open jars n sat them a little ways away from thr fan wht do u think

At this time with your bud hours count more than days.

Closely monitor the buds in the paper bag to avoid going
beyond the moisture content the prohibits a proper sweat/cure.

If your buds are dried through, then your cured yield will not
be very good at all.

Adding moisture at that point will not force a sweat/cure,
but you may allow mold to bloom if the spores are there.

Good luck and keep us updated.

All of what they said, also, really suggest a cheap hygrometer. I'm a fan of the calibers, they are for cigar humidors.

Sounds like everything is working.

Just burp the jar less often as they cure.

Don't you plan ahead? A harvest is 4-5months in the making. Your excuse is what?

6 days? We spend anywhere from 7 days -3 weeks (climate depending) before they see a jar, and most times they are fitted with Hygrometers! You will serve no wine before its time!
