So I harvested a Bruce banner auto by 420fastbuds. During the grow it smelt fantastic my carbon filter had no match against it. You could smell
It so far away. I let
It go 80 days and chop it. Didn’t trim anything off of it and hung it upside down on clothes rack. Turn humidifier on 55% and air to 70 degrees as I’m in the south and it’s hot as fuck running 90 degrees during day so it’s hard to get it cooler than that. After about 6 days of hanging in my tent I checked it and it literally has no smell but like an earthy smell very light smell of it. No weed smell at all? I
Put it in mason jars and let them sit in there for about a week and the smell is still earthy and not strong it gets my high for sure but don’t taste to good taste earthy as well the first couple green hits taste harsh after that it’s better. Idk? Any help would be great I got another harvest that’s about a pound or more so I don’t wanna ruin it.

6 days is too short a dry... aim for 14. If you are curing correctly then the smell normally comes back. Have they been exposed to high heat at all?

The temps was 70-75 And they had a small fan blowing away from the buds aimed at the wall maybe that’s where I fucked up cause
I had it on high? But the buds wasn’t like swinging from to much wind

I can’t believe nobody has said this yet. One of the biggest reasons I see people end up with weak smelling buds is they harvest too early. The buds don’t get fully developed, and then dry to quickly.

Do you have any pictures of the plant at harvest time?

You drying to fast. 55% RH is what the bud should maintain in the jars after 14 days of drying. Start at 70% RH in a tent/enclosed environment with a dialed in exhaust fan.

Okay I’ll give it a shot on this coming up harvest I got a lot more bud to harvest so I’ll just crank the humidity up and blast the ac and pray that shit stays dank LOL

It doesn't have to take 14 days to dry for it to be right. Different buds dry at varying rates.

Don't remove a bunch of fans before you start drying, if they're present to begin with. I try to defoliate but not to the point I have no big fans or lower fans.

remember when you curing in your mason jar, to burp the jars,if you can put a meter in your mason jars, you got to work the humidity down under 65% than do shorter burps, the cure process takes longer than a week, but it help your bud get it smell lol, i hope this help good luck:bigjoint:

May I suggest the cardboard box method?
I have a few frozen bottles of water in the bottom sitting on a tray to collect condensation. It was 110 or some shit outside today...AC inside definitely set lower at 75 but this box is a definite winner in regards to drying slowly in the desert.
This is my Frosted Skywalker harvested yesterday.

Disregard the 88° on the hygrometer, I had taken it out of my grow tent earlier.
