In my experience, some strains get the hay smell between dry and cure, and some dont.

you dont notice the hay smell as much in flowers that have a higher terpene count... i.e. MD x Cougar...


also depends on your flower to leaf ratio, airy buds that have a lot of trim and sugar leaves mixed in will have more "green" vegetation.

denser nugs with very few sugar leaves have less chlorophyll that needs to degrade, so in turn less of the drying grass clipping smell.


and sorry if i am repeating information already posted, but im too lazy to read everything

yeah it gets 30% when its -F outside here in winter but i just boil some water till it gets to 40-50 rh about 2 gallons in 2 hrs. i also agree that taking 10 days or more to get to 60% keeps the smell better ect. but hey i would love to have the prob jigs has right now all those nugs lmao.

Well I read every post and am too lazy to post my input lol

Looks like everyone made some good points and I dont really have much to add. I was gonna suggest that smell would be gone by now probably, then the next post you said it was gone.

Have a great day with ya little girl! She looking super cute lol

Cheers for the update west. Was thinking of LGP yesterday and was gonna message. glad you got the mental vibes. :)

Sending all our love for the easiest of births. And speedy recovery for the grandparents so they can help out a little. haha.

Question about drying too quickly.... if 5-7 days is too quickly, how many days should I be drying over?

And what is so bad about having buds smell like hay for 2 days? It's never bothered me.... should it? Am I missing something here?

Terpenes are really sensitive, the most sensitive molecule in the plant - and have a profound impact on the effect. You're definitely destroying some of them and hence it affects quality. End of the day if you're happy, you're happy.

Btw, even my least smelly strain I've ever encountered (My Sweet Skunk) never smells like hay so I don't believe the amount of terpenes matters. It should never smell like hay if done well.
