Another good little tip I do my self is I dry for 5-6days till there's still moisture in them and then destalk and put the bud in big container. I then seal this container for a couple of hours a day and give the bud a good move around. This has produced some of the stinkest and tastiest bud I've had

I just hang mine, wait until the sticks snap, then take all the bud off there stalks and jar it up, then I burp every day until I feel the bud is right, then decarboxylate the bud before I make it into oil.

It happens to the best of us.. you got stoned and left your recently cured cannabis jar open, or you let the cannabis hang for too long and the moisture inside isn't coming back to it once in jars. I have done it more times than anyone should in a lifetime sadly. I tried the iceberg lettuce and tried the orange peels the first time it happened. Well, the smoke got a little funny and had weird taste.

So what I like to do is go to my grow room and snip a few big leaves or some popcorn buds off a flowering plant and stick it in the jar. I recently did this with a jar containing 4 oz of cured cannabis I left out for over a day on accident.. I took 2 popcorn buds off and closed the jar for 12 hours. Once I opened the jar the cannabis was completely rehydrated and like it was a week prior. Also, the weed now has an even better smell to it.I hope this can help someone some day. Thanks for reading.
Mr Cam you are a saviour was jsut going to pop a Q&A on this subject as ive done the same ive over burped the jars there like 56 rh think it needs to be like 62RH

Only got one auto just in flower so dont want to pull any buds may pull a couple fan leaves off as there hitting the walls of me groom box and use them try rase the humidity

Ill give this ago thanks cam

I use lettuce leaves if it's too dry.

I wouldn't think so. I go with my eyes and hands to be honest.
If you're going to use a lettuce, then use a round one, rather than a Cos (Romaine) or Iceberg.

just remember 60 and 60.
Thats 60 degrees farenheit, and 60% RH , and dont dry them too quick and you will be golden.
You should be taking at least 7-10 days to dry, ....if not more......

Also, when you think they are dry, put them in a plastic box and have a look in a day or two, as there can still be moisture in the middle of the buds which will be drawn out by the plastic of the box.
