CUREING

[vanislgrower]

Dried for a week atleast, exact days i cant recall, paper bagged them for a week, and have had them in galss jars since. Times past about 3 weeks or more, again exact days cant recall, and they still smell very green and chlorophylly. Every day i let them breathe for 15-20 min. Any suggestions to help this process.

Do you know what strain it is?

That may or may not be the problem

Takes time my friend. If this hobby of growing has taught me anything. it's patience.

Now obviously there are instances where something may, in fact, be going wrong. but i don't think that's your case.

Did you stop feeding them Nitrogen about 2 weeks before you harvested? Did you do a flush the week before harvest? Both of those steps would greatly reduce the curing time as the plants would begin to use up all the stored energy in the leaves and flush out any built up salts and chemicals and all that nasty tasting shit.

How dry were they when you put them in the jars? the next day when you opened them, were they pretty wet again? If i open a jar and its pretty damp i'll take them out and dry them a little more.

Just my take. Have a little more patience, it'll be worth it.

skeet.

I grow organic therefore nutes unnescessary. There nice and crusty on outside and pretty dry, maybe not optimal dryness but compared to other buds its good. But the smell is still unnatractive and liek i said chlorophylly STILL. Any other suggestions people

Just as stated above, it could just need some more time. (up to 2 months perhaps) or it could just be that that particular strain doesn't smell that great. Is it just bagseed?

I've had grows where its taken quite a bit of time to get any good smell out of it, and a couple plants just never gave it to me. After 2 months of curing they smelled just awful. They smoked so-so. I cut that particular plant out of my rotation because of that. The buzz was really powerful, but it tasted and smelled like shit.

yes bagseed strain so that may be it. But up close put the bud almsot in my nose and take a whiff smells very earthy and nice. Im guessing i still have to wait. Ill post my success when the time comes

just an idea....

if you're opening it once a day to exchange the air.... try to change that to 2 or 3 times a day to let the moisture and chlorophyll "gas" out and get some fresh air in. leave the lids off the jars for about a half hour or hour depending on the size of the jars and how much bud is in them. maybe even gently rotate the buds in the jar....

just an idea....

might work well:jointsmile:
