I was drying at 68 degrees and between 45-55 RH for about 8 days and my buds are exceedingly dry. Probably on account of the last 4 days the humidity has dropped significantly and I did not use a humidifier in my dry room. And a less than dense outdoor crop. Jarring them shows 37% inside the jar. Should I re-humidify inside the jar or just cure at this RH?
Waited too long, buds too dry. Humidify?

You can use Boveda packs o similar to rehydrate your buds for smoother smoke. But they will not cure anymore.

I personally think its too far dry... You can try to rehydrate, but it may end up damaging more then it is. Ive heard of different "hacks" all they down to using an orange peel. But IIRC it only helped a little, and of course your left with the smell or whatever you put in.

Usually they will pop back from the first crispy feeling after harvest and hanging there’s enough moisture still after jarring tight for a night or so.
However if they truly are past the point of no return and are crumbly dry like sand you can get a fan leaf, orange peel, fresh bud….etc… but I will warn you the smell will be faint at best and quality is never the same.
It’s not ideal by any means but will get them back to moist again. However I wouldn’t leave the item in there long term. Maybe check every 6 hours or so until they moisten back up which they will. If you don’t keep a good eye out you could get mold and ruin it all for good.
Over time you will get a feel for hanging and drying/curing your buds. It’s just one of those things that comes with experience. Mistakes in the long run will make you a better grower as you’ll know what not to do the next time.
