I cut and trimmed them up and got them in jars, humidity reads 52% overnight.. But the stems didn't snap? So i thought they were ok. I have smoked some and it was good and smooth. But I've done better.. This winter time dryness is a killer. I had a humidifier in the drying room for a week. But towards the end it got pretty dry in the room. Anything i can do improve what i have? It's quite a bit.

There's a touch of that hay smell. But i open the containers and flip the buds top to bottom, and it then smells great again. I understand that the cure is screwed at this point from what I've read. But i didn't see what can be done now to try and improve?

Boveda packs 62% check them out, I have been using them for years and they work great.

Bovedas work good, cheap route is a small bit of fresh orange/lemon peel in each jar, monitoring RH is critical since you can overdue it and promote mold... In my experience even the jars that were in the low 50s were much better in 2-3 months indicating some curing continues....

If the stems weren't snapping you should be ok. I personally don't like the feel of 62% weed. I actually prefer 52-54%. I'm not sure I like the idea of a humidifier in the dry room. I have been considering it myself but something inside me tells me not to. I have seen too much weed get screwed up with humidity. I am very careful with the Bovidas too. I say burp yours a few times to exchange the air a little and seal them up and call it good.

Just jar up the buds. If the stems aren't snapping then the humidity will recover once they sit in the jar for a day or two
