hooray! Thank you sir! How bad is it that I put it in the jar too early then took it back out and layed it out? No mold so is it no harm no foul?

depending on how long its been curing, yes, smell will change. could add an orange peel to add some moisture, overdried bud can have that hay smell.

You have to get the initial dry on the bud. At this point it may have that bad smell but should be light. Once dry you go to curing which gets the last of the moisture out. If it went real wet into jars you may have caused an issue as the moisture can ruin the trichs and cause them to burst or degrade.When it goes in basically hard. then in the jars it may after a day freshen up feel slightly moist or soft. You open an air out maybe 30 minutes then jar back up. The hay smell shouldnt be there once in cure thougho jars it should feel dry to the touch b

I've had my bud in jars since March and still have sort of a hay smell when you open them. Also the taste doesnt compare to the dispensary buds and it burns pretty fast. I thought I did evrything right, but I guess it dried too fast because there wasnt much humidity when I harvested in late Feb.

I notice the smell to go away and the weed to get its own smell after about a week and a half in the jars

I harvested a couple days ago and can't wait for the hay smell to go away and the true smell of white widow to come through

I don't know what you guys are talking about. My properly dried and cured bud never smells like hay. When I first started growing I had a habit of over drying everything and it would all get and keep a straw/hay barn smell forever. No matter how long they cured, they still smelled like straw and hay dust. I started putting my buds into paper bags somewhat early and haven't had that problem since. Everything is dank as fuck now. Even clones of mothers that previously smelled like hay.

Yea no cure yet. I took them down after 2 days hanging and put them in paper bags and they still smell like hay. they are holding about 70 RH in the jars so i'm going to bring them down slow like.

put a dry paper towel on the lid of your jar, if its moist when you open it move it to a paper bag/wooden box.

Fan leaves and all u wait till the whole thing is dry before u trim? Doesn't that make it more of a pain in the ass?

if u find over dry, use freshly cut green leaves from your veg, as re- hydrators. what cold be more natural? just place one in each jar, and in a few days, it will have been sucked dry!
