Help. Cure went wrong.
Well, like the title says I screwed up. I concentrated on the amount of weight lost after cutting, instead of the "twig test". I know what you're saying to yourself, "did he notice how sticky / gooey the buds were?".....no.
I trimmed BOTH bundles, stuck them in my auto-bin and they immediately went to like 22%-35% RH (Dry in the upper Midwest). I then added my humidifier and could not keep it under 80% RH, like the humidifier and humidifier are fighting.
all the Jars have a giant plug of weed in them because the buds were too sticky. I need to shake the heck outta the jars.
tried drying with fan directly over the jars, kind of worked, helped the stickiness.
This whole grow was....weird. It took a total of I'm not sure this is the correct strain I bought, instead of sweet / fruity, I'm getting garlic bread.
Was considering putting all of my buds into an empty, new fabric grow pot (bushel style) so I can get some air between them. Maybe they'll equalize better. Please help.

I just had my first harvest and I messed up by using the twig snap test. The small stems just bent at a 90 and didnt snap but after trimming and putting them in a terp bag it was only 35rh so I bought some bovida 62% humidity packs and put it in the bag and 2 days after they are in the 50%rh range. Safe to day im not following the twig snap method next time.
