Curing …after one day burp weed smells like chlorophyll and hay …

[Thundercat]

jarring i understand but to say if you dry a plant mid flower it will smell like hay... or to say genetics will have an impact on a weed thats normally dried....

The genetics of the specific plant grown will greatly impact the way it tastes and smells.

Harvesting early will prevent the plant from ever reaching its proper potential for smell and flavor production. Harvesting early will also prevent the plant from reaching its full potential density, which inturn can make the buds dry more quickly than you want and result in hay smells.

the answer was cutting too early will make weed smell like hay. your answer doesnt have logic if you answer his question if you dry it properly hay will not come no matter how young your plant is.

dry a leaf properly and it will not smell like hay.

Sorry, you don't understand the logic, I'm pretty sure I explained it clearly. If you disagree that is your prerogative, however, I've personally seen this happen in my early grows, and in friends' grows, and in countless grows here at RIU. Once the growers involved harvested their plants at the correct point and learned to dry properly they stopped having hay-smelling buds.

The whole development of terps and stuff as the plants mature is just bro science, bro.

Any chance you fed until the end???? Hmmmmmm

Probably forgot to boil the roots too!

 

[UpstateRecGrower]

Did you wet trim?

 

[xtsho]

I wonder what happened. The OP said the buds were still a little wet inside. If they left them in jars the weed probably ended up developing mold.

“
How do you dry herbs without losing their flavor?


Drying is the easiest method of preserving herbs. Simply expose the leaves, flowers or seeds to warm, dry air. Leave the herbs in a well ventilated area until the moisture evaporates. Sun drying is not recommended because the herbs can lose flavor and color.”

Anyone silly enough to think cannabis is some special case here should read up.
“Until ALL the moisture evaporates.”

There's always one in every thread lol.

Only thing you said corrrct was "and learned to dry properly". Go get some wild mint dry it wrong you get hay smell.time of harvest doesnt affect smelll same with genetics.

It’s a well known and accepted fact that genetics strongly effect the flavor and smell of these plants. You arguing the opposite just shows your lack of experience and understanding. I’ve grown thousands of plants and hundreds of seeds in my last 17 years growing, I’ve found about 10 plants I would call a keeper. Why? Because genetics effect flavor and smell and everyother aspect of the plants outcome, and I only would keep the best. People always come back looking for more and you can’t carry my weed around with out someone telling you “how good you smell”.

Every time I’ve harvested and dried herb, the flowers do take on a hay smell from about 2 days after chop, until about week 3 or so in the drying room. Every flower, every time. I’m sure it has something to do with the chlorophyll being broken down, but idk. Depending on cultivar (bud density), after a solid 4 weeks of mid 60s temps and 59-62% rh when stems snap, then I jar. Maybe burp a few times over the next week or so, and then the hay smell should subside and it’ll start smelling about like it did at harvest. I’ve dried at least 20 lbs of product this way, nothing fancy, no weird tricks, just low and slow, and have stuff almost 3 years old still oily, sticky, full of smooth flavor, and have never had mold problems.

Cannabis is indeed a special case. Not like any common herb in terms of flavor development. It's practically the only special aspect of the plant. Cannabis is a reproductive seed oil crop crossed with a sugar crop, more than an essential vegative leaf essential oil crop. Key difference. Pine sap barely changes. Menthol doesn't change at all. I've got some 2 year old menthol. Smells exactly the same as it did at harvest. Cannabis can go from sweet to sour to skunky, back to sour, fecal cheesey etc by then.

These chemicals are deployed by plants to prevent the potential damage caused by herbivores and various pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. The biosynthesis of secondary metabolites occurs through several metabolic pathways and varies among plant communities, depending on the species, environment and stage of development. The oxylipin pathway is one of the most important pathways in which many defence-related genes are activated to induce chemical defence responses, which results in the synthesis of useful secondary metabolites

You’re a special case

I see you are on the boron deficiency on this one already?
