if you didn't trim them properly you may have gotten that "yard clippings" smell. i've cure a couple times w/o a flush and had no probs. i go right into jars after the hang too. some strains can be smelly.
Bongojaz Reviewed by Bongojaz on . Drying/curing Hello, just joined the site cuz I had some problems with my last grow. So everything went great up until harvest. I was growing in soil (just recently switched to my own hydro setup) and I harvested, yay. Started drying and I waited until the outside was a lil crispy and the stem audibly snapped. The drying part seemed to go fine. Then I started curing... I didn't start in bags, which Ive learned I should have, I just started with a jar. Everytime I opened the jar, it smelled rancid. Rating: 5
