is 2 and a half days fast when hanging buds to dry?

So I harvest my plant yesterday. Today, it is crispy on the outside, and the stem doesn't break. But it's only been one day. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the last watering for my plant was 6 days before I cut her down. She was 14 weeks old. Can I cure now, or should I wait?

i dry in low humidity as well. in order to slow down the dry, when most of the chlorophyll leaves the buds, i sometimes throw my drying buds into a brown paper bag or a shallow cardboard box. i have found that cardboard helps to regulate the humidity at just the right level. ime a longer cure is necessary to get rid of the green smell. if you dry too fast your buds may develop a hay smell/taste which is undesirable at best.

Serapis- thanks for laying it out there, again. Drying and curing is such an important step in the process.

So many posts of bad information when all you have to do is what you have clearly defined above. I'm on day 6 of burping on a 12 hour schedule. Humidity is stabilizing and approaching 64%. It's so easy, plug a reminder on your phone or computer calendar to pop and close lids. Drop some hydrometers in the jars.
