Drying and curing smell

[Grow So High]

Been seeing comments a lot on people having the hay and grass smells when drying bud. I’ve heard drying to fast or it was cut too early but a few of these comments people have near perfect conditions and still end up with this smell. Here is an example of one I just saw. Anyone have any idea what’s going on with his harvest?

I’m in the same boat as you... on my first harvest of some fiiire I put so much time effort and research into growing this properly and even more into drying and curing. I cut whole plant hung with fans on 3 days ago... in my bathroom temps between 61-68 F with 52-60% at a pretty steady 56% I had a mini fan blowing under the buds on high and I made sure not to have any direct air flow and have had my bathroom exhaust running here and there and today at the end of day 3 i can smell that harsh fresh grass smell. Stems not snapping, nugs still wet but the chlorophyll smell is getting stronger. When I squeeze a nug tho and smell my fingers ohhh my god does it smell good but when I just lean up and smell the buds it doesn’t smell? I’m assuming this is the process of chlorophyll breaking down and just being released into the air... and that at the end of this slow dry in about a week the bathroom will smell like OG!

It will smell its best after you finish jar curing it get some small hygrometers and keep humidity around 58 should smell dank

Hang whole plant, try to get temps and humidity to 60/60 - the slower the dry the more the flavour and smell is retained IMO.

There is no chlorophyll smell. You cannot smell chlorophyll coming from a plant.

The majority of them are harvesting based on breeder times or earlier, not when its time to harvest.
I have done it myself, and most here probably have as well. Even with perfect grow conditions, early harvest = grassy hay.
Jarring too wet is also a contributor

Dude stop, you and your theories. You're not helping people

In my drying environment , the "green" smell dissipates around day 7-10 and the terpene aromatics kick in around day 14.
Just my experience.

Couldn’t of said it better myself. I left my plant hang for 7 days took some and put in jars. Then every 2 days I took some more. finishing up at 13 days the longer I left it the quicker it smelled like “bud” once placed in the jars.
