curing question - dry flower

[CannabisMingus]

Just finished up drying my first harvest (6 days) and trimming. I tried to follow recommendations on drying time (bigger bud petioles barely snap) but I suspect I over dried it a little because after I put it in jars to cure the humidity never rose above 52% RH after 24 hours. I threw in a 62% Boveda pack into each jar and now humidity is reading 60% (within the margin or error for the small digital hygrometers I'm using).

Two questions:

1. Assuming I over-dried the bud and now have RH within recommended curing range, should I still burp the jars (unless RH shoots up for some reason)? If the purpose of burping the jars during cure is to release excess moisture and if RH never goes above 65% is there any reason to burp?

2. This a purple pheno (see attached pic - taken 10 days before chop). In a purple flower, is there less chlorophyll to break down or is it still there, just obscured by the purple pigment? If one of the main processes in curing is the breakdown of chlorophyll, how would substantially less chlorophyll affect curing?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks @St. Tom. Will do. See my explanation about the strain below.

Thank you @420Forever. I appreciate it! Will do.

Final dry weight was one plant - 4.5 oz in a 15" x 24" footprint. Kind xl300 LED. DWC w/ Megacrop + a 1-15-30 booster in flower+ CalMag. Additional pics attached.

The strain is a mystery. It came out of a sealed pack of FB Green Crack Auto but no one (include FB) has seen a purple pheno of that strain (see previous thread). I am assuming it is another FB purple strain (Blueberry? Purple Lemonade?) but it's just a guess. Smells like berry/grape with a slight vanilla note at this stage. Just a little grassy smell.

Nice plant. Looks like fb purple lemonade I just grew....Whenever I over dry buds, I use a slice of lemon or orange to rehydrate.
