Hey guys, let me help, there are many ways to get rid of the chlorophyl taste and smell. First drying too fast is a bad thing, the plant should hang upside down with small buds and right side up with big colas. i always grew outside so my branches were long which allows the buds to dry slower, next, in the old days the drying rooms were kept closed for at least a week before the venting slats on the sides of the drying area were cracked open SLIGHTLY to allow a little fresh air to get at the plants. They were opened a little more each day until fully opened, then the buds were checked until the stem would start to crack just a little bit when bent about 8 inches from the top. After that the pot was trimmed and bundled together and left for at least 6-8 weeks to finish curing, not in jars, but in paper wrappers or bags. Now,,,, that is the original way and you had to check constantly three or four times a day for mold in the center of the thicker buds with very low light, like a hand held black light so the plants didn't get ANY light as this causes photosynthesis and you are trying to get rid of the green, not grow it. In the old days no fans were used and thats why you had to look so often for mold. It's less likely to grow when the air is moving but it can't blow on the buds constantly or you blow dry them too fast, so use an oscillating fan from a distance so there is just a slight breeze, and keep enough distance at first between each branch as not to restrict air flow. Once the fan leaves sag you can put them closer together, but not ever touching until its time to bundle them up later. I know other methods like how to use vaporizers (humidifiers) to keep the humidity up and how to do a quick sweat that will turn your buds brown or red eventually, just ask if you want to know different ways or Email me privately for all the info. I can help you get the hashiest tasting buds you ever tasted if you really want to learn, but I HATE when I help people and they don't show any appreciation for the years of trial and error that I have put into learning all these techniques. One piece of knowledge is that you can prevent the crumbly problem with your buds and it is EASY. Are there any Connecticut growers out there on this site????????? If so contact me privately by Email. Anyone is welcome, but people that are within my range can benefit from my familiarity with our climate and soil types in this area and local resources. It's no riskier than posting on this or any web site, YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN. Hope this is helpful
