I was forced into pulling buds off the hanger before the stems got crispy. The outside of the buds are crispy, but the stems are still REAL BEND-Y...
It's a bit over 2oz, hung for about 3 days in 40% humidity. I trimmed the buds down to about ping-pong size clipping away the biggest stems.
Right now they're in a plastic, lock-n-lock with a hygrometer that's at 56% after like 2hrs.
This is my very first grow. I've NEVER gotten this far. Any advice would be greatly appreciated... kinda worried that I screwed it up (again)
Thanks in advance guys!

Mine did the same thing. I put mine in a jar and let the moisture even out in the buds For 12 hours. Then checked them by touch to see how moist the outside was and see how even the moisture was. Then just open the jar shake it around to loosen them up. Once the buds evened out then if still too high would put them out on a paper plate for 15 to 30 minutes then back in the jar. These are my prize buds that it work out. Now they are in a jar with a humidity pack at 62%. Day after day.
I aim for 62% in the container. If it goes above 65% then they are at risk for mold so you may need to remove from the bags to reduce. You said they were at 56%, I'm curious to know if it raised up after or what.
The plants are still getting rid of most of its moisture within that 3 day period. 40% RH is also really low. I would recommend putting them on screens at this point to continue your drying process and up the RH to 50-55% with good airflow if you've already trimmed. Drying generally takes between 5-12 days or more depending on all of the main factors (RH/Temp/Airflow/air exchange)
