So I’ve just harvested my white widow photo looking amazing but I put some of my popcorn nugs in a jar and they started to get some moisture back in them how do I get rid of that do I need to dry them out again? Or just burp the jar for a while

How moist? Do you have a hygrometer in one of your jars? How long did you dry for? What was your determination as to when to jar them?

Burping is necessary, especially at first. Sometimes you have to let air exchange for some time as opposed to just quickly burping.

If they're saturated with a very high humidity, lay them out on a piece of cardboard box for a while. Your aim is to get about 62% RH in the jars by the time all is said and done.

It's normal for the moisture in the buds equalizing. Make sure you get them at the proper RH so they don't mold. I add a cheap EBay hygrometer in each of my jars. I also burp them religiously for a while. First daily, then less and less often.

I don’t own a hyrdormeter and I don’t think there is anywhere I can go buy one ASAP without waiting for postage I dried them for 3 to 4 days a bit early I know but their wasn’t anything I could do was sitting on 24 to 28 degrees with a rh of 60 to 70% they arnt terribly moist I can still chop them up they smell amazing it’s a mix between mango and orange

It depends on how much moisture is still in them. It also depends on your ambient RH to how fast they will dry. It's super dry here, so it will happen faster for me than someone who say lives in a moister climate. I would rather they get too dry than not dry enough. I would order some mini hygrometers. They make it really easy.

Cause I cracked most of the buds open yesterday and felt they were still a little damp in the middle not wet just a lil damp so I left them overnight and they felt fine so hopefully they are ok

does the area I’m curing in need to be pitch black?

Another method you could employ is using a weigh scale. Plop them on right after harvest, this is for buds and stems and record the weight. Weigh them by day 4 or 5, if your approaching 25% it's time to jar and burp them. It also gives me an estimate of final weight. No hygrometer needed up until jarring but I do use one once they are in the jar as well as the curing room.
