if You dried small buds for 8 days in 75 degree and very low humidity they are already dried way past a cure. A mason jar or a baggy at this point is just to hold your bud, curing can no longer take place.
A good dry for small buds would be strung inside a cardboard box with a couple air holes and in maybe 60 degree and 60 % humidity so they might slowly dry. If small buds weren’t too dry in a week I would say you did a good job, but small groups of small bud is hard to dry slowly.
Proper drying would be cool and humid enough to keep the little stems attached to the buds from drying before the larger branches have a chance to slowly wick moisture through the buds and into the air. Once the bud stems dry out they can’t reopen to wick moisture into the bud so careful, controlled drying is required for the best drying.
Curing is just the continuation of drying but now you have a delicate bud with no reservoir of moisture to help control drying. In a perfect environment for the final slow exchange of moisture from the bud interior through the outer portion of the bud and into the air, no additional action is needed.
However, none of us have that, so we create conditions using mason jars so we can control the environment, especially humidity. Placed in proper temperatures the jars allow the slow wicking of remaining moisture into the jars which are burped in order to let the moisture out of the jars. With use of a small hygrometer you can watch the moisture in the jar rise as the buds continue to release moisture.
All of this is just my opinion based on my own observations, but I’m always stoned, so there’s that to consider. Best of luck.
