I've never had a mold problem in over 30 years of growing, but I HAVE screwed up a couple of times by not letting them dry out sufficiently and sticking them into a mason jar. Lived and Learned, but you always pay for your education one way or another!
It doesn't see the inside of a glass jar until the stem snaps, since the water in the stems is the last to go and the buds can't pull any more water out to get moldy. It took a while to find the balance between dryness and flavors...I'm still fighting that war. It's too easy to prematurely jar up your crop, before all of the water is gone. It seems dry then gets damp again if enclosed...next stop is mildew valley!:mushtache:
Never ends.
