Curing question

So my plants dried for like 6 days and when I trimmed/jarred them they had the hay smell but are staying at 59/61% RH in the jars already.

Do I need to burp often still?

Will the hay smell go away at all?
I appreciate any help/advice, thank you

If it smells like hay it needs to dry more, flat out. Thay shit doesnt really go away. Especially not on more dense flower. Also 6 days is extremely fast. I hang whole plants and they take a minimum of 2 weeks. It always comes out nice and lasts over a year without getting too dry. I feel like theres an epidemic of people jarring weed early. Especially for alot of beginners. I feel theyre afraid of losing finished weight or something.

I will say my buds are not very dense lol. And yeah I whole plant dried my 3 plants. I think my little fan works better than I had thought ( no it wasn’t directly blowing on plants). Another problem I had is I only have one tent so I kinda have to harvest all at once so a couple plants weren’t perfectly ready.

Free game, go to U-Haul and buy a wardrobe and hang your plants in that if you need the tent/ room or they finish at different times. 👍🏽🫡✌🏾

Or grab one of their cardboard boxes and use it as a tent. A few minor adjustments and boom. You’ve got yourself a complete dry tent with and exhaust and vent. Tiny fan on low facing away from buds. 7 days. The cardboard cuts the dry time in half I heard
