Hang time for buds- what's enough?

I have some that are hanging now and feel pretty dry but it's only been three days. They have had constants airflow. I'm wondering if I got them dry too fast. The first day the fan was pretty much direct and since then just in the area to create the air flow. But at this rate I would probably start curing them tomorrow night and that's only four days hanging. Actually I'm thinking about putting them in a brown paper bag for a few days, then move to jars.

they may feel dry but youd be surprised on how much moisture is in them. this is what curing in jars is for it sweats the buds then when you open the jar all the moisture evapourates then you keep repeating this.

Curing is something that is tough to get exactly right without some practice. I usually let my buds dry for about 3 days and then jar them. I see no huge problem with you jarring them now to cure or throwing them in a bag for a couple days. It's just one more thing to obsess about and trying to get it perfect will take a couple harvests before you can compare and see what you like best or what is best for your "situation"....good luck haven't talked to you lately, let us know what you decide and how you make out...also I won't tell if you are picking little buds off and smoking them before they are cured...it's fun.
