I find outside feels drier than center. This lead me to jar too early. Wait fir snap the residual moistness sorts the outside crisp in the jar.

Thank you @Point 5 ..extra cautious this time around. Last couple of nighta humidity dropped to around 40% coz of the cold weather. During the day its around 50ish again.

So last night i got a bir para so i took off a big nug and couple of small ones. As soon as i closed the jar humidity went from 55 to 58% then overnight it was at 60% in the morning.

I think they are ready for the jar even though stems arent fully snapping. There was only one bud that snapped off out of the entire chop last night.

The jar is a 1l kilner jar. With the nugs its less than 1/4 full.

One thing I noticed when I opened the jar first thing in the morning was a strong non weed smell...I'm not sure if its amonia like, as I don't remember ever smelling amonia :lol: but I think its what most people desribe? Theres no mould?

After 15minutes the mrs complained and asked whether I had opened anything as it stank :lol: it doesn't smell as bad anymore like the initial smell...is this normal? And I am starting to smell a hint of the dank erb

Any thoughts on whether they are ready to jar and the smell?

Just to add..after the first burp in the morning..I left it open for about 30mins then shut it. It has been at 58% for the last 2 or 3 hours

Your rh in jar is sitting right.

My buds go through a few different smells before they settle to the lovely weedy smell.

Time to chop them down now before they over dry. Thank you
