I use the same gauge as your black one in the middle and go by the following:

+70% RH - too wet, needs to sit outside the jar to dry for 12-24 hours, depending.

65-70% RH - the product is almost in the cure zone, if you will. It can be slowly brought to optimum RH by opening the lid for 2-4 hours.

60-65% RH - the stems snap, the product feels a bit sticky, and it is curing.

55-60% RH - at this point it can be stored for an extended period (3 months or more) without worrying about mold. The product will continue to cure.

Below 55% RH - the RH is too low for the curing process to take place. The product starts to feel brittle. Once you've hit this point, nothing will make it better. Adding moisture won't restart the curing process; it will just make the product wet.

Obviously, the product need time to sweat in the jar. As such, accurate readings won't be seen for ~24 hours, assuming the flowers are in the optimal cure zone. If you're curing the product for long-term storage, give the flowers 4-5 days for an accurate reading. If the product is sill very wet, a +70% RH reading will show within hours. If you see the RH rising ~1% per hour, keep a close eye on the product, as it's likely too moist.

Before jarring, did you let it dry? If so , how & how long? As they need to dry before going in the jars.

I never burp in my mason jars...it might stink up the weed.

If it is taking that long they were too wet when they went in the jars. Opening them just for a minute or two is not enough, you need to let them air a bit if they are that wet.

yep I like to dump mine out of the jar (or bucket) onto a screen and leave em for a few hours. each day for the 1st few days...

I aint got no fancy meters :(

From what little I see, it looks like you are not drying enough before you put into the jars.
Harvested cannabis flowers in their perfect state should be dry - but not BONE DRY.

Enough of my talk - just read this:
