Just harvested first grow

I tried following all of the good advice I read here and did for the most part. I think I may have harvested before all was completely dry though. Some of the limbs snapped when bent but the top was not quite to thatpoint – all had dried (hung) for 6 ½ days. When I broke up the top bud(s) some were a little damp in the middle. Personally I like weed this way as opposed to dry and crumbly but my fear is mold. So what I have done is break the big buds into smaller ones and store all buds in air tight jars and open them at least once a day to check for dampness. I have found none.

Any suggestions? Am I doing this right?



P.S For my first grow I can say I grew some kick ass weed.

I know that I'm new to this but 6 weeks, really?

I did some research on other sites and sources and 4 days to a week seems to be the consensus on drying by hanging buds in a dark area. Curing from what I've read is a different process and does take longer but the Drying and Curing Marijuana thread, if I remember right, stated like 2 weeks just for drying and up to 6 weeks for the entire process. Maybe I read it wrong but I think if I did any thing wrong it is that the top was not quite dry (after 6 1/2 days hanging) and therfore hadn't burned off all it's sugars and such and it maybe could be a little smoother but it is definetly kick ass potency. I have it in sealed jars and I have been opening them once a day for like 15 minutes for a few days now and they look completely dry to me and ready for storage. Any thoughts?
