Right, I was in the same position as you. Directly off the plant my harvest smelled like the sweetest dank around! Some strains smell dank all the time even during the drying process, and probably can be smoked as is. My recent harvest lost its smell after it dried. I threw them into glass jars and within 2 days the buds started to smell like sour dank. Unfortunately, if I burped to long it would significantly lose its smell. It's been 4 days now and the smell is becoming more and more pungent, hopefully the smell sticks with time. At this pace it may take month before it fully cures.
Just my two cents.
