Have you smoked some? Smelled it? How is it? Sometimes its ok. If its super harsh and grassy nothing much can be done. Can press it to rosin if its good for it. Sometimes no cure flower rosin will taste blah or might not matter like my main clone I work with.

Sometimes even curing it wont do much and still harsh and lack smell but usually earthy not grassy hey.

Only one way to find out 
From the pinned post:
"Below 55% RH - the RH is too low for the curing process to take place. The product starts to feel brittle. Once you've hit this point, nothing will make it better. Adding moisture won't restart the curing process; it will just make the product wet."
So you think still smokable might just not have the ideal flavor or smoothness?

If you're not happy with the smoke it's fine for making green dragon tincture. I use my larfy buds and buds I'm not happy with terp wise for tincture. Gets you plenty high.

Posts like these reinforce in my mind how spoiled pot heads have become 
Tell me in the early '80's that that pot is ruined. My guess is I've smoked much worse I hope you're able to start some more

Will run it again i want to get the cure just right since this is one on Barney’s best aroma list.Posts like these reinforce in my mind how spoiled pot heads have become

Throw the whole bag in the refrigerator, and let it rehydrate a little. You might be able to get a better cure this way.

Sure I can agree with all that, but it's still perfectly smokable. Just sayin' it's far from ruined.

Not ruined, just not the best quality. I live where it’s 99% humidity every night. I dry in a bathroom with a dehumidifier, it gets to 40% sometimes, I just let it out in a container to rehydrate slowly. A few days of opening to bring humidity back up to 60%, and then I let it sit for a week or two. It comes back. Can always make BHO, butter, etc if super disappointed with quality.

For a different perspective, I dry & cure by feel. I don't own a hydrometer or a thermometer for that matter. My environment is mostly sealed, but I'm at the mercy of ambient temps and RH. In the winter, it's 20-40% RH, in the summer, it's always somewhere north of 40% (on rainy days it's basically 100%).
In the winter, a plant may only need a few days hang dry, then into the jars. When you get that nice audible snap from the branches is usually perfect. If the buds feel a little wet still, I leave the lid on the jar, not tightened, with just a tiny sliver of an opening. I continue to feel them until they feel right, then lid tightened down for the cure.
The only difference in the summer is they may hang dry for significantly longer. And also they'll stay in the jars slightly cracked-open like that for longer too. So really the only difference in my mind is time.
No one seems to complain about the quality of my product.

Maybe that cheap thermometer is a little bit off and you're Really at 58% humidity.

This is where a Cannatrol would have come in super handy.
