I've felt that before. I'll spread them out on a drying rack for a day or so. That unusually knocks out those pesky damp spots. Then re-jar and proceed.

57 should be golden, I've gone with the belief below 55 stops the curing process.
Thankyou for the replies everyone! I'll keep an eye on it n see what happens. Trying to make sure I'm doing it right, this batch is getting lab tested.
Physically how do your buds feel at 57%? Mine feel like a dry dish sponge, stems will break but definitely not snapping.

58% works for rolling a joint, 62% is too wet for joint

When I get to curing in 5gallon buckets I'll have made it in my mind! Until then, I'm just squishing to keep my inventory manageable in Mason jars.
I haven't made it yet! I'm trying like hell though!
Thanx GT for letting me take up some space on your thread for some QnA. Honestly I wouldn't even be on 420 anymore if it wasn't for you!
I just squish it all at once (except what I gave away) and store it in silicone jars that are in mason jars in the freezer. It really takes very little room. A pint jar holds four or five 20ml silicone jars, or 80 - 100gm rosin this way. That's enough storage for the rosin from a lb of dried flower.
I can't smoke it, so I encapsulate it as needed, five hundred or more in a couple of hours. Those capsules last a few months.

I have COPD so I don't smoke very often but I use the hell of some Caps. I make Canna Oil infused caps. I bet squishing and using the oil or Dab that way I bet it is Strong as hell. Do you fill a gel cap full of the rosin or cut it down with something ? I am really interested in squishing and my buddy @Derbybud has a press with the heating plates he said I could use and squish all I want. Storing it that way makes a lot of since. I know you can use a little rosin to make edibles too so I am really interested in what I can do with it once squished. Any good recipes or how do you use it in caps ?I just squish it all at once (except what I gave away) and store it in silicone jars that are in mason jars in the freezer.

I usually post my rosin adventures in Grandpa Likes To Squeeze Stuff: Solventless Extracts, Rosin, Pressed Here!
Basically, I use a mix of coconut oil (80%) and lecithin (20%) to cut the decarbed rosin. I use size 2 (0.37ml) and size 0 (0.68ml) capsules and fill them using a 3 or 5 ml Luer lock syringe with an 18ga dispensing tip (blunt needle.) Four grams of decarbed rosin in 40 ml of coconut oil and lecithin yields about 100 size 2 capsules with close to 30 mg cannabinoids. That's about the same as a 1/6 of a joint. I should be able to increase that to three or four times the rosin. You may as well count the size 0 capsules as double that strength.

I'm currently using the "solid at room temperature" Virgin Coconut Oil, and liquid sunflower lecithin.

@Marzbadrock no problem bud. I’ve never gotten used to curing with a monitor. I’ve never cured in buckets either... 
I’ve always gone by feel. I understand your angst however. When I get paranoid, I do like @BobbyZ suggested, and spread them all out for several hours. Rather a little too dry than mold...is how I always looked at it. Stop smoking so much weed and cure that shit! LOL!
I took clones today and everything looks good. Then I did what I do best...I squished some weed. Enjoy!

What happens when I can’t sleep? I surf the internet and find the stupidest shite. There’s some really crazy stuff going on. Be safe please.
My plants are looking okay so that’s all I care about. My seeds have still not popped and that probably means they’re still not going to. I may need to drop some more beans. Oh well, nature of the beast. I’m not upset about it...much.

Sorry about your beans GT!
I sent buds off for sampling. Worst crop I ever grew! Still came out good quality though. Any guesses on thc % for glue? I'll know by tuesday at the latest, closest guess wins....not a damn thing!

Next batch will be tested in july. I got the big room dialed in. As long as there's no catastrophic power failures should see her full potential!
