Default crunch, crunch, crunch

i cut my purple kush buds off the stalks today and even though the interior stems were still a bit moist, the buds are hard, dry and crunchy and it sounds like you're crunching up fallen leaves when you squeeze them in your fingers. is there anything i can do to fix this? i put them in two mason jars today - each about 2/3 full. thanks.

Put A Orange Pill In The Jar For A Few Hour's & Check It, Keep Doing That A Few Times, Don't leave it In There For Long, & When You Check It Pull It All Out Of The Jar, & Check It, If Left To Long Or done wrong, This Can Cause Mold, So That why You Need To Pull It All Out & Check It, Put It Will Bring Some To Dry Smoke Back To Life.

Try Using Some Big Fan Leaves Off Of A Fresh Plant, Just Put A Leave In Each Jar For A Couple Of Hours And Check And Repeat As Needed. This Works For Me And It Does Not Seem To Change The Smell Or Taste.

Good Luck

Peace

high bro, chances are, if the stems are still moist, then there is still plenty of moisture inside the buds as well and they just feel dry to the touch.

try just waiting a couple days and then check the buds which should feel moist
and springy to the touch as the moisture migrates from the middle of the buds
to the outer surfaces.

if not, either method mentioned above will work just fine.

in fact, if you just toss those moist stems in the jar with the buds, that will
re-hydrate your buds as well.

btw, the method described by Hatch works really well and it can impart a hint
of citrus to your smoke which i personally like but others do not so, if you don't
want that hint of citrus, just use a chunk of celery which won't impact the
flavor but will re-hydrate buds that have been dried too long.
