This is a small clipping i clipped off my 420 k . I let it dry until the small stems snap clean, so 3 days ago. Did nothing else ..plan on jarring for a little and see what I start to get in terms of curing but like the title says what do you guys think?

Dried too quickly...The stems shouldn't snap clean after three days. It should take more like a minimum of a week drying in the dark and the stems should crack a bit but def. not break clean. Once the buds get that dry, they will never cure no matter what you do.

What's the right RH for curing then?

Ideally, around 60-65%. Curing can happen ONLY AFTER proper drying. If you improperly dry the buds, then they will never be able to cure. You overshot your window of opportunity. So, if you have already over-dried your buds, then there isn't any point in trying to cure them because it won't happen.
In the future, you need to dry the buds slowly in a dark room with just a small fan moving the air -not blowing on the plants. Once they are dry...but not too dry...you transfer them to a curing jar and then proceed to burp the jars for several weeks. If you have too much moisture left in the buds when they go into the jar, then you get mold and the whole thing is ruined and unsmokeable. If you don't have enough moisture in the buds then the curing process will not happen. It's a matter of getting it jusssssssst right. That may take some time to learn. Curing is an art...but it's not rocket science. There are all kinds of videos and tutorials about curing out there.

I understand that part what I mean is what's the RH for DRYING... It seems 40-50% is the norm
