I think i failed at my first attemp of drying :(

So this is my first harvest so i dried my buds in a cardboard box with holes in it left if for 2days in the basement but because im used heat already they dried quick they where crispy but the stems didnt break so i put them in a jar for curing for a day, opened it up and all the buds where glued together it was so wet, so i piut the buds on a drying rack for one day, the next day the bud where crispy again so i jared them up 2days later and the buds are still crispy as hell, i guess you learn from your mistakes should have just left it alone and burped the jars, so now i read that im supposed to put a damp paper towel in my jar to moisten up the buds, am i supposed to do this? will it help? are my buds fucked? what do i do im not to happy with myself right now, can anyone PLEASE HELP ME!!! lol

if there dry smoke em. There as potent as they will ever be. The curing just helps the smell and smooth smoke. it draws the moisture from within the bud. No loss in potency at all. Smoke em if you got em.

everyone does it with slight differences enviroment makes a difference im in washington state
its usually damp here, I got lucky my first crop, it was in the 80s all week
I hang them, I have an old fashioned clothes rack, I hung them on..for about 3/4 days, till they
made a snap sound, put them in my jars, dark jars if they arent dark then I cover them up, every day I open the jars for about half hour,
carefully stir and close again for a couple more days, my son says this is called burping, it worked great
...thats how I did it...you may depending on weather and where you hang them might have to do it a bit different...
hope the links help...

I have had my plants drying since the 10th and half still arent ready for jars. But what I do is fill up the jar about 80% and every time I burp it I shake the jar to loosen everthing up a bit then I open it and leave it for about 2 hours and close it - check again in 12-24(depending on how wet it was)

What's the temp like in your drying area?
