This is the first time harvesting my plant. I thought I was doing everything correctly. first thing I realized as the plant dried out was that the plant was a dang hermaphrodite!!! Besides that... the bud is so dry now when you touch it, it just crumbles. Where did I go wrong? It’s been hanging for 5 days. Is it ruined? What can I do differently in the future. the room is humidity and temperature controlled. I just don’t understand how it go so dry so fast. Thanks! (Btw the fan behind it has been off.)

You didn't mention the temperature and humidity that you dried in. Many growers will do 55-60% humidity and 60-70°F ... Under those conditions it can take anywhere from 7-14 days to dry. The moisture content in the buds when harvesting will be a factor. For example if the medium was dry and the plant needed watering the day you harvested, well then the moisture content will be lower than a plant that was watered the day before harvest. Hope this helps.
