So recently from everyone that I've been learning about this is my second grow and it seems that after harvesting and drying and my stems are snapping and all this and that I got the humidity down to around 50 seeing the jars after one night of being in it you know it was around 60 62 and it's been that way for about a week now and I've been burping them The buds look real nice not as dense as I thought they were going to be when I was growing it but I guess that was all the water and after it dried you know but the thing is you know that when I dried in my cabin it fluctuates in temperature for sure and I noticed that once you harvest and cut your stems off to hang You really need to have the temperature around 70 to 73° and stay around that too keep the quality and get the bud back to the way it was and smoke wonderful with no pine smell does all this sound good just making sure that on my next three I don't f****** because if I keep messing up I'm done lol It's very sad for me to grow and produce such a beautiful buds and then f****** so bad at the end..

My times are all messed up. I believe the timing was a lot more long then the other one I first had looked way better and went longer. and then my cabin where I dried it had a units running but it still got very hott in there with no installation

it took me a long time to understand that all it takes is proper watering and nutrition-- the third is patience.. after that--

try to make it past 8-10 weeks and keep the plants healthy. control all parameters especially if you need to where you live! You've Probably bought all the equipment you need if not more to pull off a great grow, just try to start off on the basics and i can almost promise you once you can control things the rewards will be sowed

also pine can be a good terp for some but also a way to describe "hay" which is poorly cured/dried weed. which type of undesirable pine is it?

Grew 5 seeds all fems, one didn't show amber trichomes when I harvested day 63 so I left it longer, like 14 more days and by the time I harvested that pheno the whole smell was gone. The ones I harvested at 63 days had a great smell and taste, the other was awful, no terps no taste no smell. I ended up making some butter with it used it in cookies.

It's definitely a hay sadly. So this would be due to me overdrying or temperature changing so rapidly.

For example my cabin has two AC units but there's no insulation or anything it's all open all wood and everything it has a roof but you know sides and all this and that but the ACs do cord off about the midway of the room but the top level is extremely hot because it's a tin roof and I had fans and stuff and they're circulating the cold air but I do believe when I dry and my house that's very insulated with a constant temperature of 70 to 73 I believe I'll have a way better outcome next time and I think my cabin just ruined this crop. But definitely 100% it's been over a week And I guess it's definitely a hay smell not pine I was referring different but that's it for sure.

I dry at around 60 degrees F and keep the humidity level in the room around 55%. In the winter I dry around 50 degrees F and 50% humidity.

Also as far as the pine smell, thats probably due to your strain not something you did right or wrong with drying/curing. I love piney tasting bud, hard to find these days.

Dried too fast and too deep.
Dry fast and it stinks like a trashcan of mowed lawn clippings. Dry past 55% and it will smoke like swallowing a flaming sword and never cure.

A lot depends on your local humidity. If your not drying at 70% humidity extra steps are needed to stay in range as the dry is the most critical step. Blow the dry and no cure can happen.

I only take down off the plant what I can trim up in 10 minutes as longer than that and it wilts and makes trimming that much harder.

A jar of denatured Alcohol to dip and clean the scissors in keeps them from gumming up.

Hang until the smallest popcorn buds firm back up. In my local low 12 % humidity this can happen in just hours.

Strip all the buds from the major branches, cut into thumb sized nugs and bag them.
A pair of grape scissors works best for this.

Stack bags in new clean closed trashcan overnight.

Set back out during the day. They'll spend less time out and exposed as the days progress. Stir the bag contents a few times a day.

This slows the dry and made all the difference in how my end product started to come out. Soft and squishy = needs more time exposed. Stiff and almost crunchy = needs more can time. At the end of 7 to 10 days you want to be at 65-62% when the can is first opened in the morning as that is your best read. I suspended a humidity gauge at the top of the can.

At that point it is perfectly dried and can be placed in jars with no pesky burping needed.

Half gallon mason jars with a 60 gram size 62% Boveda humidity pack for insurance and a 60 day cure will give you as good as it gets.

This works in low humidity zones and will get you a can of mold in Florida hurricane season.

Any pics?
If your plants yellow “fade”
You will lose the smell, taste and potency

Id say more people fuck up the dry and curing part than the growing part ime it takes some time to get it down right as with all things then again ive never associated hay or shit phenos with pine ime pine terps are genetic not from mistakes some things just taste so cos they meant to

Well here's my opinion now y'all I'll talk to one of my good clients and one of my customers he just said that he rates it a 8 out of 10 for all the stuff that's going around right now and that really surprises me because I would not have rated it at 8 out of 10 and he is a heavy smoker like me lol so that blew my f****** mind... Absolutely loves it so here I'm just thinking I'm crazy because I'm telling you I have some rainbow stuff right now and look at this

I pay right now for this $175 ounce
QP @ 650. Not too bad for around here.

This is very sticky and grinder almost chokes automatic kitchen grinder that is sheesh and smell is 9/10 smoke 9/10 I smoke alot and this is fire

This is some of the stuff that I grew and that is harvesting right now

And this is what my buddy said that is a 8 out of 10 and he said I should charge the f*** out of for it
