Does the hay smell go away?!

[BigBuddahCheese]

dnt have to jar it right into qp bags and off to the club

Yea most club guys don't care much about smell quality so they are like the fast food users of cannabis.

i have to agree, i was so disappointed when my ak47 was dry. it smelled like wet hay. it really annoyed me. i left it in a jar in my cupboard for 10 days, opened it for 15 mins once a day. my god did it stink when i got it out. smoked an ounce and a half with my boy in 2 days lol.... whoops

thats almost tragic, the smell of ak47 is like gods vagina to me hahaha, one of the best smelling strains next to the blueberry im growing now imo.

I hope so, I just took a few cuttings from my Ak47 mommy (started from Serious seeds.) She almost smells like a pine tree in veg, that's the only way I can describe it, how do the buds smell?

I don't know what you guys are talking about. My properly dried and cured bud never smells like hay. When I first started growing I had a habit of over drying everything and it would all get and keep a straw/hay barn smell forever. No matter how long they cured, they still smelled like straw and hay dust. I started putting my buds into paper bags somewhat early and haven't had that problem since. Everything is dank as fuck now. Even clones of mothers that previously smelled like hay.

i know this is an old thread but you say you dont know what everyone is on about then in the same sentence you say you used to have that problem trying to big yourself up FOOL

The real white widow doesn't have much green on it at all.. the buds are greyish. they are dense and very chemical or diesel smelling...

If you put them in a jar once you have hung them up initially would you be doing a good thing by also adding in a little water crystal satchel thing to absorb further moisture along with opening the jar once a day to air out? Also once they are properly cured would you leave that in the bottom of the jar or take it out so it won't get too dry in the long term?

simply hang it up tell its dry. 4 to 6 days depending on humidity. then trim. if you dnt slang it yes keep it in jars

Good to see this thread is still seeing use! hooray for RUI!

 

[Jblaze88]

if u find over dry, use freshly cut green leaves from your veg, as re- hydrators. what cold be more natural? just place one in each jar, and in a few days, it will have been sucked dry!

Genius

Never move to jar after? And wats the humidity in the room? Im doin the same but just started so any sort of advice would be very helpful. I have the same problem with jars. I cant get the hay watever smell to go away. Ruined soo many crops already and i can grow my ass off....... just cant dry or cure

Pretty much what the title says!

An exhaust in the room would help with the hay smell but it will lessen or go away completely. 73 is a little too hot if you can get it any lower 65 is perfect

Ya need 60rh. 63/68 f. Keep it as steady as possible air flow in the room but not pointed directly at buds , 10-14 days hang then put them in big Totes /plastic storage bins whole , while ya buck and trim some people buck before going in bin I like em on the stem puts space between the nugs so they don’t squish and mold as they rehydrate in there waiting to get final trim , then turkey bags then pretty much ready to go give or take a day of burping in turkey bags depending how much moisture is left if ya dry properly you don’t need jars to cure those jars are to preserve what ya already accomplished minimum 8 days hanging ur I’ll get stuck with hay I know it’s an old thread but this is how you get fire and someone might need to know

 

[Rozgreenburn]

Why does my hay always smell of blueberries?

 

[Purple love]

depending on how long its been curing, yes, smell will change. could add an orange peel to add some moisture, overdried bud can have that hay smell.

Lol thats what did

 

[amneziaHaze]

Last grow i did smelled like hay for 2-3 months then one day normal weed smell not as sweet as it was grown but no hay...
If you dry it peoperly it should not have hay but what can you do if you dont have resources

 

[MrStickyScissors]

i would thro it away if it smelled like hay, iv ripped a whole crop out in flower cause it was t up to par. no time for hay. should smell kill right away

 

[Lenin1917]

Ya just hang it to dry at 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit. 55-60%rh for 2ish weeks. If it tastes and smells like hay you grew it badly or harvested to early. The idea that volatile compounds like terpenes improve with age is wrong(I was gonna say stupid but not knowing chemistry very well isn’t that big a deal mostly)

 

[Lenin1917]

To be clear I’m not making fun or anything I get not having the resources and trying to make do. My first harvest was mediocre and tasted like lawn clippings. Still got me high and it payed for an air conditioner, humidifier and dehumidifier which has made a huge difference final quality.

 

[WhoDatBeAtMyDoor]

As I tell people first week no smell 2nd week smell from hell. The first week will smell like hay and then she will gradually start to get that oh so wonderful smel you had in the room. Don’t let them get too dry as if they are too dry they will harm thc so put a humidity gauge in with the buds and make sure they don’t drop below 50% I believe. If they do a boveda pack Amy be necessary.
