Sound thanks joe il do that so .
Personally I would! I've just had same thing also my humidity was very low I'm still dealing with that but they look much better .
My humidity is to could that be The reason my leaves are drooping
What's your humidity at? Mine was very low bouncing between 29 and 33% I've managed to raise it up to 46% id still like it higher about 60 would be ideal at my stage in veg hopefully once I get more veg growth it will naturally rise
Nice plants everybody!

Master dryer by the way that bud looks niceJust poking my nose in here...
Regarding drying/curing buds:
1 )The humidity is good to know during initial drying but the real issue is too much humidity can result in bud mold and then you're finished, so watch humidity in your drying room for that reason. I don't think 65 RH is terrible but if that's your room reading it probably means you could use more room ventilation and that's how you control it.
2) Gentle air circulation, very gentle, is the key to avoiding mold when drying. Room ventilation overall is one thing; a couple tiny fans that just ever-so-gently move the air through the hanging buds is another, and equally important. If you can barely tell the air is moving it's the right speed.
3) Be patient. Even when the stems snap there's a surprising amount of moisture still deep inside the plant and it needs time to come out so give it a couple extra days hanging past when you think it' s ready. Then once you jar, make sure you burp the jars often for at least 2-3 more weeks.
Slow cure=better flavor.
It's worth it.

My last grow i chopped a nice Dinachem, i like it alot! .
Looks like under watering... there's no water on the floor! ?? Step back away from the plants they look fine! Why all the stress?
That ^^^ FTW.... great advice. Drying and curing is as important as growing ..... round ball side to side, pass it on.
A little breeze on the hanging flowers is perfect. If you have a bunch of plants drying they give off a fair amount of humidity. Can tell by the smell... RH monitoring is a thing.
