How to dry bud after curing

First Time Grower

I harvested my first plant a month ago. I wet trimmed and let to dry for 5-6 days on stem before curing the bud in a mason jar for the past month. The RH in the jars has hovered between 60-62%. I tried the bud for the first time tonight and it's clear that it needs to be dried a bit more (very hard to grind and steamed a bit in my vape. What is the best way to dry already trimmed bud that has been curing for the last month?

how did you jar it for a month with too much moisture and it didn't mold? lol that's amazing

​

oh yea to answer your question: just leave the jar open till it hits the dryness you want..

Idk I burped it almost every day, it doesn't smell like mold or have any signs that I can see. Thanks for the answer.

I'm someone like you who likes my bud dry, drier than it cures. All I do is leave the jars open and shake em up occasionally to expose different buds to the air.

If it's that wet, take it out of the jars and let it dry another day. Otherwise leave the jars open longer each day.

I've been toying with the idea of tossing a pack of silica gels in a jar to help absorb moisture.. anyone else try that?

Hmm. Probably would work, but why do that over just leaving lid off?
