68 sounds good but i would go with 50-60% humidity at least for the first 3 days then drop to 45-50% for the last couple days. Jar it and burp 1-2x daily.

yes sir! It seems better after raising the humidity for the first couple days. That house is really dry in the winter and it would be dry in like 2-3 days if it was at 40-50% humidity. The quick drying was what was taking the smell/taste out of it.

Not for me it didnt. I cured for 1-2 months and it never came back. It has to be dried right then cured right for best smell/taste.

My goal when hanging is to let them hang at least 5 days then jar to get good taste/smell. I have to adjust humidity for that to happen. I think the longer you can hang it (without drying out) the better the taste.

hmm.. yea usually that means the bud you cut wasnt ready, when you chop immature not ready marijuana it tends to smell like hay forever...when i harvest i dry for 5-7 days and the hay smell is only there for about the first week of cure, after that it always smells beautiful.
