thanks for all the responses and i know about the 30X magnifying thing, however i have not purchased those as i'm making this as cheap as i can so i decided long ago to just go by pistil color and bud look. the the method i decided to take.

thanks DYLAN for your answer, that was my main question i was looking for an answer for and assumed it was the chlorophyl and i also assume the chlorophyl will break down and the sweet bud smell will start to come back. i just wanted to confirm that theory with other people.
kuri Reviewed by kuri on . BUD SMELL AFTER HARVESTING questionable i harvested about 10 days ago and had my buds hanging and drying for about 4 days, then put them in paper bags in a cool dark place, then placed them in mason jars..... the buds don't have that super sweet smell they had before harvest and right now smells like a teenie weenie bud smell but mostly a different weird kind of green-ish smell. is this a normal thing for the curing process? please any input would put my questioning mind to rest.
