After curing for 2 weeks bud still smells like mollases

[CrackerJax]

Honestly, I like the smell of molasses... I put it on my pancakes too!

I like Maple Syrup better!

[CrackerJax]

I love both....with Maple...get the grade B. Way better, but as you can tell, I like the syrup strong.

molasses is for carbs for your plants increased need for sugurs, and if you use soil and have micro organisms, the molasses feeds them. You may not need to use molasses if there are carbs in your flowering nutes, but you dont want to over feed. I use molasses, and i would reccomend it to anybody, but like earlier in the thread, you dont want to over do it. Molasses is proven to fatten and sweeten up buds, using properly of course.

As far as the smell goes, i think a longer cure will help the dank smell over come to hay, grass smell.-as with my auto AK's. just gotta be patient.

The slower the drying/curing process, the better, without acculating mold. hope this helps, and remember, gotta have a lil faith

Reps+ Morasses is for carbs - helps to bulk up the buds - as well as to feed the bacteria in the soil.

Sweet Leaf from Advanced Nutrients and other bloom boosters contain molasses

cure long enough and the grass smell will be replaced by dank smell, unless the drying process was too fast.

My experience with curing in jars sucks, buds always seemed to smell grassy like hay no matter how long that ish went on curing. Now I dont chance it, I use freezer cure, no nasty hay smell, just that sweet chronic smell BTW the molases smell will stay in the bud after curing, its usually faint with my buds but noticeable and I like the sweet chronic smell. Just reminded me to start using it this round!

Well Bricktop seems to have this need to walk three miles to take one step,But he's right on the mark.I think you rushed the process.

Please explain "freezer cure". I don't have much experience and would like to learn . . .

"- The roots can directly absorb some of the sugars into the sap stream to
supplement the leaf supply to fruit where it is most needed, and ALSO directly
feed the roots for continued productive growth."

em em sounds good to me, thanks for the more scientific analysis Brick Top

420OldSchool, keep rockin, under the radar

I've been feeding with as many as 3tbsp per gal with no I'll effect.

I'm also going to have to agree with the improper drying time. A buddy of mine had a similar unwanted smell issue that was due to excessive amounts of moisture still in the buds.

That Seeple video is great! I think i would have run away from that guy's dancing!

That Vid was great 420. I was crying from it.
Thanks all for this info. I will be drying pretty soon so I will dry as slow as I can.
And cure slower. I did use molasses ...buds are fat and smelly. My first grow. 3 weeks to go. I will start the flushing prosses soon.

My buds almost 2 weeks old in jar and its still smelling like molasses grass as well.

But the smaller buds i had in the jar i broke into pieces and smelled the inside part and the DANK weed smell was there. So i think if i wait ab it longer the smell from the inside part of the weed will come out and make it smell good. So i think give it a few more weeks..

My buds were smelling right before harvest like GREAT dank than after i cut it it smells like molasses grass for a good 3 weeks drying/curing. But as it dried the inside part of the buds starting to smell all potent.

 

[Grow some]

i had the same problem i just squeezed all the buds together and then it smelt crip.

Man, for some reason I am hungry. Going make breakfast....

 

[Relaxed]

You guys use mollases during flush period or stop that for pure water?

 

[CrackerJax]

While I do not put any fert's in the last week or so, I don't flush so.....

i don't use molasses. i have a bunch here if you want it. i did a side-by-side 2 years ago and saw no difference. my soil must be healthy to start with.
