So.. I checked my Cheerio box today to find that my branch is beginning to lose it's beautiful marijuana smell and gaining it's grassy/hay smell... this sparked me to go re-read every single forum post, tutorial, google find I could on drying and curing just to make sure I remember how to do it right.

As I understand the hay smell is suppose to come... and then go.... resulting in some bomb smelling herb once again.

after reading tons of info for 2 hours I realized that I completely remember all aspects of this process.... So, i guess Im on track....

So far we are 89 hours into the drying.. Which is 3.7ish days in....

indeed...I harvested one plant (brainwreck all green pheno) and it had a super dank smell in the dirt, and grass after a couple of days drying.. the other one brainwreck(purple pheno) smells like sweet black licorice, and never got the dreaded grass smell. so i guess it depends.

but dont fret!!! buy some mason jars and within a week or so the sweet smell of dank will come back out..just make sure the buds arent to dry when they go in the jars..you want a lil moisture..not too much tho. a stem that snaps, doesnt bend.

just make sure you burp the jar a few times a day...you will because you're always checkin it out...

right now my green plant smells like wonderbread i swear...

my experience: i over-dryed my plants due to life getting in the way of my hobby. The were so dry you could pinch them and they would crumble to sticky dust. They didn't smell like i wanted. Then a jarred them up with some vegetation (beet leaves for some reason) and 48 hours later it was perfect weed - consistency and smell. so there you go.

some people do it differently...but i trim all fan leaves, and any leaf where i can see a stem. then i do a final trim when the nugs feel a lil crispy...

i dont like them sticking to resin on the nugs.

sorry for thread hijack curb. yo bx i wanna ask were the seeds u used like chronic seeds that was found like 1 seed per 1/8? i was curious cus i got some kush seeds (3 from a quarter) and they all opened up by today. Anyway i was thinking maybe these seeds are feminized cus i think they were either seeds from hermi pollen, or just the females survival trying to push out seeds on its own. I was thinking since you got 4/4 females on your bagseeds it makes sense that these seeds might be feminized. just a thought that encouraged me to germing these kush beans. im not sure this is how it works but, what you guys think about those single seeds from 1/4's and ounces and such.

Chances are good that really did happen that way. I had a few seeds in a couple of my buds, way down deep inside of them. Not a single male in my garden either. Too bad I didn't separate those seeds to try them out.

Anyway, I'm friggin stoned and the point I was trying to make was that...

chances are that any seeds that come out of some dank buds will be feminized. These plants have one purpose, to make seeds... and we're trying to stop them from doing so. So I think as a natural reaction the plant just goes hermie regardless of how well you grow it.

No males = no male seeds

I wonder if one day, all of the male plants will be eradicated and only hermis will exist, like in the rest of the flower world.

Well I had found about 20 seeds in about a QP of dank pot, so I guess that would be 1 or 2 per eighth. Guess what, new thread in sig.

Update:

I havent chopped the plant. I know I said I was going to on last Saturday but... I just couldnt do it yet. I am determined to get some amber trichs.

I dried the practice branch for a week and have been curing it in a jar for 2 days now...

Still want to see how that turns out as far as smell...

I just opened the jar.. grabbed a piece and played with it slightly.. My fingers are sticky like Spiderman's now.. the smell is hay/weed..... Hope it comes back strong like 'they' say.

Yup, be sure to "burp" the jars and it will pull all of the moisture from the stems.:bigjoint:

how it smells is a minor point. remember, we smoke weed to get high. No matter how good it looks or smells I think non-THC bud would be even less desirable than non-alcoholic beer.

Personally, I'm waiting for the smoke report.
