Yes it makes sense. They should squeeze in a bit and bounce back to their original shape. Unless they are dense as hell.
I dont know what the tube is?
But when i feel the buds in the jar and they feel wet at all i take them out and put them back on the screen an hour to make sure.
If they smelled strong and were dry in the jar and this time they smell faint and maybe a little chlorophyl like then i seal it up and try again tomorrow.
The first couple days if its humid unlike now with my heater on i may leave the jars open an hour until the unpleasant smell goes away. Its the gasses from the chlorophyll eating bacteria that smell “green” and underneath that smell are the
terpenes from the weed. We are trying to slowly eek out the chlorophyll and bring out the strains goodness.
