Stems still bend... buds are crispy. Are they dry?

Hey everyone...

I harvested this past Sunday (Sept 30th)... I just checked on them and all the stems still bend but when I squeeze the buds they are crispy. Are they dried? Should I wait longer?

Last time I waited for the stems to "snap" the buds were super dry and pretty much crumbled when you touched them.... and I dont want that to happen again.

Hi Bro
I think I would put them in jars and burp those nugs everyday till they finish curing.

That's just my opinion and that don't mean chit.....

peace

curing time!!! curing will extract the moisture from the stems through the buds, making them perfect.

I normally jar them up and them check on them in a few hours.. alot of the time they will go from crispy to real wet given that the moisture draws out of the stem to the outside.. I often take them out again for a few hours and then throw them back in there.. I usually do this two or three times to get all the moisture out of the stem(them snapping) and the nug evenly dry, but not crispy.. you'll find they cure better with not SO much moisture..
