What does that have to do? I'm asking caused I trimmed wet and my stuff ended drying really fast /:

Good job mate. To each his own but, I would be dropping a Boveda 62 humidity pack in them jars and maybe burp once a week at this stage. Probably not the "best". But works damn good in my opinion.
But, that's just the simple easy way. The loud will come out over the next few weeks. Hay smell or grass smell is pretty normal for early bud.

I almost always trim wet. Easier if you ask me. I mean. I at least trim the bud as close as I can and leave the stems long enough to use as a handle if possible. More trimming may be required after if you sell your bud. I just grow for personal so good enough ha know. But, everybody has their own way. And yes. I've been lazy on trim day before and didn't trim wet. Then all them leaves tuck and roll into your bud and it's a bit more difficult.... For me at least.

I used to trim wet. I always got the hay smell and it never goes away. So I reccomend you trim dry. It keeps the smell.

LOL. BS. The hay smell goes away as the weed cures. Along with the wet harsh grassy taste. Whatever, been awhile since I smoked wet. Then when its gone it gets loud and it's flavors. LMAO!

Yeah well. ^^^^ Maybe if you washed your nutsack every once in a while you would be able to distinguish the hay smell coming from the jars. Curing 101.

It's just my .02. Im speaking from experience. I've tried both ways, and my dry trim buds are 10x better quality and smell. You spray a WHOLE LOTTA Chlorophyll all over your buds when your getting in close on a wet trim.

At what temperature? around 72F I shoot for 55%, never had an issue with mold when temps went too high for some reason. 63% is what the dispensaries and poor dealers sell you cannabis at. Paying flower prices for water, makes them good money.
I personally would keep burping the jars for now. Next time try clipping the flowers off the stems when you can barely hear a snap/crack sound. As long as your drop in humidity was slow, you'll only have to burp the jars a couple times.
You shouldn't smell a hay smell, ever. You smell hay, something was grown wrong, harvested when processing too much nutrients or the handling after harvest is not being done correctly. Too much chlorophyll at harvest time, too warm of drying temps, too wet when in the jar or warm jarred temps, all produce that hay smell, and worse if you're not careful.
Terpene retention really depends on grow style, not wet or dry trimming. I wet trim and the aroma from my flowers blows away everything in comparison, in power and sheer complexity. Same for the flavors. In my experience, dry trimming leaves a LOT of trichs in the tray, I like them on my flowers.

I trim wet. Hay smell goes away. Weed I wet trim has to be double-bagged to prevent stank from leaking out once it's fully cured. People try to make trimming and curing way more complicated than it has to be. I used waste time leaving them on the stem and hanging them until the stems barely cracked. Then putting in open jars, closing the jars, burping them every four hours, blah, blah, blah. Big waste of time.
Now I trim each bud and plop them in one of those drying baskets. Wait a few days, put them in jars with boveda 62. Burp them once a day for until they are at 63%. Then never look at them again until I want to smoke. All these myths about curing are for people with too much spare time on their hands.

Yes, I too have noticed the bud is significantly fruiter when dry trimmed. My understanding is that when you trim sugar leaves wet, the stomata (small openings on underside of leaf) close. This prevents the proper escape of chlorophyll, resulting in a more "green" taste. If you do want to trim off some sugar leaves when still wet, do it by cutting the stem only. But if the stem cannot be reached (it's imbedded within the bud), then wait until dry before trimming those particular sugar leaves.

On some bud, you can pluck the leaves off. I do this wet. Not sure if it would work dry. Can be much faster once you get good at it.
interesting theory, thanks

If you smell hay every time you jar, then you don't know how and when to harvest or you're growing ditch weed. I guarantee you there are at least 200 growers on this site that will tell you that your weed does NOT have to smell like hay when you transfer to jar and that the 'hay smell' is NOT a required part of the curing process - Beginners guide to Curing, a prerequisite to Curing 101.
Yes, sometimes weed that smells like hay will get better with curing, but not always. But if you harvest at the right time and dry properly and skip the 'hay smell' phase, you'll have a better tasting and smelling final product.
Try waiting till the leaves are crispy enough to flake off with your hands I trim almost all my nug without scissors I used to trim wet till I figured that out

I agree. The only time I have a hay smell is when I screwed up.
