that's normal mate, buds will stay sticky because that's the resin, that won't dry out.

 

what i do when the stems are dry enough to snap is jar them and check them the next day, if the buds feel spongy again they go back for another day drying, rinse and repeat until you get the desired dryness

when my stems are snapping I like to put all the colas into a big paper bag/sack (depending on amount) and allow it to homogenise for a week before jarring and burping. It improves the final taste.

These days though, I just cob it all up, Quicker, better tasting , improves with age rather than deteriorates and the high is better (imo), Oh and it takes up far less storage space.
