yes i do open the lids a couple times a day for twenty minutes to get some fresh air in there....

they are NOT brittle or crumbly, the outsides were pretty dry when i put them in the jars and now they are almost soft and squishy,,,but NOT in a wet way.

so is this normal to not have a super sweet bud smell at this point of curing. it is more of a green. i would say 70% green smell and 30% bud smell IF i had to put a ration on that. it was WAY sweeter smelling when i harvested them...
