Worth Curing at this point?

Harvested my second grow 14-days ago. Was hanging in the tent with 60/60% average over the first 7-10 days. Then with the nasty weather the humidity dropped down to 35-40%. I kept doing the bend test and the only branches that would snap were the very smallest. I decided to run the full 14-days. By that time some, but not all medium branches would snap.
Now I am thinking I took them too long. The buds feel very dry. I have them in jars and humidity is staying around 35%. Is it even worth keeping them in jars for 2-4 weeks?

How long have they been in jars? Have you used multiple hydrometers to make sure it's reading properly.

I remove each bud when they are ready to be removed. Leaving small buds on to wait for large buds to catch up doesn't help you.

24-36 hours depending on what day I finished trimming them. All the meters range from 32-35%

I respect your opinion more than 99% of people here.

Can I ask you to elaborate further please?

Curing allows time for terpenes to evaporate, you smell weed because of the terpenes evaporating. I much prefer my weed freshly dried. A cure never did anything to improve smoke by my standards, it just got old and less flavorful. If you grow good weed it doesn't need a "cure" and I consider it a waste of time.

Fair enough. Thank you for your opinion on the matter.
