I guess I'm still somewhat new to growing and so far I only have experience with auto-flowers. Anyway, I have harvested 3 times so. Initially the buds look good and my growing process seems to be working just fine. The only significant problem which I have yet to remedy myself, comes with the curing process. For starters after screen drying only 4days(minus a fan), my bud looks and feels as though it is "Too Dry". Lastly when I attempted to moisten the first batch, via a single orange peel in the mason jar. It seems to have negatively affected not only the taste but also the smell. Making the bud smell and taste somewhat stale, like an old cigarette. So my question is; should I even attempt to moisten it and if not how can I correct the dryness problem or does it simply correct itself after curing longer? lol, of course I've moistened dry bud before without any negative effects, however after having a bad experience with my own bud I'm somewhat reluctant to attempt it again. Advice please?
* 3 to 4 days hang dry in a dark closet without a fan blowing on them. * then into mason jars where I burp them for about 2 weeks.
Though they already appear over-dried before reaching the jars.
I understand that I could simply decrease the dry-time. Though all the stories about mold developing when bud is not fully dried, has basically scared me into going against my own better judgement.
