Grassy/Hay-like smell = Chlorophyll. You may have harvested prematurely if you're almost a month in and it is still smelling that way. Give it another week or so, have a smoke on it, if it gets you high but is of inferior quality there is only one logical solution: Sell it. Hopefully the grassy odour leaves though, nothing worse than not getting to enjoy your homegrown.

How can you cure to slow? You either cure or you don't, there isn't a fast or slow way to do it.

My plants were cut down 2 weeks early...is this going to leave the Chlorophyll taste once its done drying/curing? Also, I didnt have a chance to flush....will "water drying/curing work to take out the bad stuff?

If you cut your plant two weeks early don't even bother smoking it. Just make cannabutter or hash or something. I wouldn't wanna smoke premature bud but that is just me

sounds to me like you didnt hang dry it for long enough.. i think if you left it hang drying until it was completely dry and most stems snap/break then put them into jars...thats just my opinion

Thank you all for the input, after reading all the posts I think it was a combination of cutting it too early and not hang drying long enough, I threw some orange peels in with them for a few hours to re moisten the buds, and the smell is beginning to come back, but not very strong. oh well. lesson learned, I know what to do next time.

You said only flushed for one week...that probably isn't long enough...could be a contributing factor at least.

I'm not too familiar with DWC and hydro...so maybe a week is enough.

I'd still probably give it two...let if finish curing though before you get too bent out of shape.
