ok so i harvested a couple weeks ago. let them hang dry in 55% humidity for 8 days. then some of the stems were snapping. so i trimmed them up real good and jarred them. now these buds were fluffy for some reason. 400w hps in a 18"x 36"x36" cab. didn't think they would be so fluffy but anyways my question is where am i at in the curing process?

i have been burping the jars for about a week and just left them for 2 days without burping, didn't see any signs of mold or sweat. today i tore some up to smoke and my fingers still get super sticky. where am i at? they cured already? need more curing time? more drying time?

oh and they smell super stanky but not so much like weed. just like a skunk smell to them almost.

smoke is a little harsh still but not bad tasting, and it burns pretty well.

Post pics, put a humidity meter in a large jar with a few buds and then colse it for 2 days, if the humidity goes up then there is still moisture in the plant, if not then it is dried to perfection

Best get used to it! Sounds like you're where I am in the curing. Just to be sure, I'm poppin' the lids everyday for a minute or two. I've several harvests going at once and thus, each jar has different needs. The oldest, like 2 weeks, I just pop and smell, so to speak . . . the newest, last night, I'll be bringing up from the cellar and turning the buds over the next few days . . . you know, un-sticking them together and such, letting the gases escape and new, fresh oxygen in. The older stopped smelling for a few days, but is now refining it's final aroma.
