First week curing and buds smell like cream/puke (Charlottes Angel Dutch Passion)

[Rollitupwarrior]

Hey, I just recently harvested a charlottes angel CBD by Dutch Passion which is sitting in 3 jars curing and ive noticed that over the last 24 hours the jars are starting to get a rich creamy, pukey weird smell with an ‘undertone’ of pine. The smell is completely different to when it was growing and I’ve honestly never smelled bud like it before. I took the buds out and washed the jars and placed them back in and the jar with the largest buds brought the smell back instantly, the smaller jars smell stronger of pine now. Is this a normal smell? Or has anyone grown this strain that can remember it smelling a little funny?

What week did you cut?

What week did you cut?

9.5 weeks into flower, was forced to cut a little early because of spider mites.
I cut another plant which was the same age but a different strain, which smells like hay in the jars at the moment.

I can’t wrap my head around the smell to describe it, almost like a sweet buttery smell

It’s probably due to early harvest or didn’t dry long enough. How long did you let it dry and at what temp/humid?

 

[Rollitupwarrior]

I let it dry for about 8 days, average temp and rH was 70f and 60%. I trimmed leaves off at days 3 and 4 and hung them up as branches. The biggest heads were crunchy on the outside and had a little bit of snap when I bent the branches. When I first jarred them the rH was a little high so they weren’t dry enough, but I placed them back out to dry for a day and the humidity in the jars now sits around 63%.

My plan was to keep the biggest heads in a jar together and to save them for last so they had a nice long cure but this is the jar that smells the strongest of the creamy smell. Should I just split the big buds up amongst the smaller ones?

All sounds good
You can move them around if you’d like.
It won’t hurt anything.
Once you feel that the buds are nice and cured, you can move them back to whatever jar you want them in.

Hell, it might not hurt to take them out the jars tonight and let them dry out a bit. Place the buds in the container you want tomorrow evening and let buds do what buds do for a few weeks then move them back how you like

It all depends on your environment but I like to dry for 5-7 days then trim the bigger fans off, put back in to dry for another 5-7 days, trim again and jar.
Burp a few times a day for a few weeks.
First couple days, you’ll probably want to open the jars a little more often. After the first week, once a day for another week or 2 and you should be good

Thanks for the responses bro! Yeah I think I might pop them out to dry for another day, the smaller buds smell great and I assume that’s because they dries quicker. Thanks again, have a good day!
