i installed a dehumidifier into my dry cab. check on it this morning and find that temps were 85F and humidity was 35%. my babies have only been drying since Sunday and already they are crispy and the stems are snappy. did I ruin my crop subjecting them to warm and dry conditions overnight?

relax and put them in a jar with some life/fresh stem, they bounce right back up

I read this wrong thought they were seedlings. The jar is the way to go. Sorry for mispost

Usually when they dry fast there is still moisture in the stem, you can put them in a jar like "BG" said even on there own they should soften up. I cure at 90 degrees for three days with good air flow then jar it. I like it crispy/sticky!!!!!!

100 % behind the jar method. You may also add some fresh Apple Peels if it's realty too dry, the humidity will transfer & it will cure to perfection.

i used a food de-hydrator for a select few of my buds, and i'm highly impressed with the 12 hour dry time. smokes pretty well right there, but i will jar cure. but anyway......my de-humidifer is two feet away in my drying area. i don't think you goofed so terribly, but jar them up pronto. my Jack H x Strawberry Cough x Skunk. just thought i'd share. i am crushed from the little bit i tested this morning. good luck with your buds.

Doesnt the curing stop working once u get below 55 % humidy levels? Even if u add leaves or stem to ur jar it just moistens them a bit not actually cures em again

The plant will not get back to 100% but it certainly bring back the buzz a lot I unfortunately lived the experience once. Nothing come close as a properly dried & cured product at the first opportunity
