from the looks of his drying process i guess not mold ... just normal awful smelling clorophyl . this is normal and usually disappears in the second week of curing . hope it turns out as good as it looks ..... nice job for your first grow !!!

No jinx intended.
Hopefully it's not mold, and just regular normal smells.
Funny avatar. Remember Mike Tyson's Punch Out on Nintendo?


To the OP, when your weed starts to dry it can go from a strong herb smell to a grass smell, to little smell. Some people even get a hay type smell.

If you have your nugs laid out on drying screens (like it shows in your pictures) and you have proper air flow and ventilation, I wouldn't worry about mold issues.

It isn't a moldy/mildewy type smell is it?

I remember that game. With Glass Joe and all them....
Stanley is the best. This was supposed to be an animated avatar, but it is not animating.

Lol That was a funny ass episode. When Dwight walks over to the shelf near that guy (the ex-con) with a bunch of money hangin out of his back pocket. LOL



On this site if an animated avatar has too many different frames of movement, it wont work. Too bad becuase thats funny.

There was a animated gif for that too, I can't find it now.
I found a jpeg though.

I hope The Office will continue to be good after Carell leaves. Will Ferrel took his place, at least for now.
Last Thursdays episode wasn't too great with him in it.

LOl! thats funny

Fuck! I missed it. Ill head over to Hulu or something to see if I can watch it.

It seems like the last season or so of the office has been hit or miss. Some episodes I dont even laugh one time. Others I laugh quite a bit.

Last Thursdays was probably the least funniest of all the episodes. I'm hoping Ricky Gervais will have a full time spot on that show,
he's in it on the season finale. Ricky will save the show, if given the opportunity.

I agree definietly not mold,they have dried out to quick in my opinion. I have seen that people have mentioned about clorophyl not smelling very nice and having a very distinctive smell, and thats definitely whats goin on in my room.! this has give me a bit more confidence thats its all part of it.!! thanks very much for the advice.!

try to lower your room temp 60 - 65 keep them on screens for like 30 hrs then bag em :) for 12 hrs then place back on screens for 12 hrs and you should be ready for jars
keep your room dark
I follwed your advice, bagged them laid back out then bagged again. im gona wait another few hours before checking wether they need to be laid back out or not, and if they still feel crispy i take it im ready for jars.!? Thanks for the advice.!!
