Should I start over?

So when should I put this in jars? I hung it for 2 days at 68 degrees and 50% humidity. Then into paper bags for one day so far. They had a hay smell going on but ot is slowly fading away. Thank goodness.

fist thing, get an unwaxed,uncoated brown bag - the bag I see is not mold safe.
let the buds dry in that for 4-6 days. then if the stems crack, dont bend or peel off, they are dry enough - you get a feeling for it over time. If not, or you don't dare, you may rely on a wood moist meter...lots of info around here.
get them out there into a proper bag.

There is no wax on the bag. I had to use the flash to take the picture so it makes it look like there is wax on it but it is a basic grocery store bag. Like you get from any grocery store . Thanks for that tho if it was covered in wax that would have been important. I appreciate your concern.

I usually leave them in the paper bags for at least a week, check the buds to see how dry they have become every day, eventually you will feel they are dry enough all the way thru to finish the cure. You can also put a hydrometer into the bag. I only use analog hydrometers(with a mechanical dial indicator), they are adjustable. To adjust them I put the hydrometers in a jar with just a boveda 62% and in a few days everything has stabilized in the jar and then adjust the dial indicator to read properly.

I have a pack of those lil black hydrometers they sell on Amazon but they are not very reliable. When comparing to my Ac infinity controller and my other accurate hydrometer it is off by 10 percent. I am going to jar up a bag and throw in some boveda and check it in an hour.
 
The last post is a bit behind now I see, LOL

Go ahead and trim all the stems off and weigh your buds to get your CC status!
It's all good bro your only trying to help. I really appreciate you sticking around for the entire grow. Thanks bro
