I agree with the fed on this. So many growers with varied ways of drying and handling that impact the overall final quality of bud. There should be a set standard to minimize mould and rot while also promoting less use of radiation to “sterilize”

Cannabis Industry Should Develop More 'Consistent' Drying Methods, Federal Science Agency Says
(www.marijuanamoment.net)
Not so dry that it turns to dust in your hands, now.
What is NIST's moisture target?
58-62% is fine, 2% is too tight
58% for long term, 62% for medium term
I don't mind if it's slightly on the drier side since I rehydrate it anyway but they need to stop blasting it dry as fast as possible. Sometimes you can distinctly tell it could have been more potent but they fumbled the bag after harvesting.
Honestly them throwing in a few boost/moisture packs into the bag before sealing make a huge difference.
