What's up guys, how are things in Roll It Up land? Well I got my buds curing right now, they have been in there for a day. I wish I would have listened to you guys because this shit smells like hay! I think it had something to do with leaving too many leaves on it? I know you can get this when it dries too fast, but my drying conditions were excellent so it couldn't have been that.

I tried smoking a bit and I think it was still a bit wet because it didn't burn right. After it's done curing, will the smell of hay go away? Is this shit ruined now?

Weighed it out and it all came to around 21 grams. I was pretty dead on with what I thought I was going to have. Most of the lower buds were mostly seeds. :( Oh well, now I'm ready for the next grow! Gonna get some pics here in a second.

hopefully when you open the jars you will find your buds have remoistened. If they are too wet, you'll want to go back a step (to hanging or paper bags). If they are just slighty moist, you can go ahead and reseal your glass jars and check them in another 24 (if they are real dry - check them in another 36-48).

Yea, I've already encountered that problem. Thank god I got the Bible around to help me out also. I read the harvesting and curing chapter about 10 times now. I let them dry out another day or so, then put them back in the jar. They don't seem to be nearly as moist anymore. But what about the hay smell? Will that go away after several days of curing?

Yea I think I'm going to start a new thread for the new grow. Only seems like the right thing to do, huh?

Yea hothouse, that's all of it! :(

It only came out to a little over 21 grams. There are a lot of smaller buds down near the bottom. The bud near the top was pretty much all that was smokable. Well, I can smoke the bottom buds, but they had a lot of seeds in them. This thing really shrunk up as it dried. They are right about losing 75 percent weight when it's done drying and curing.

Yea I smoked a piece when it was still a little wet. It didn't burn right so I don't think it was ready at all. Truthfully, it didn't really taste like anything. Nothing like it did before - the key lime pie. I'm hoping that after it is done curing, some of the smell and taste will be back. I'm just really worried about taste though!

my opinion is a good cure should get rid of the hay smell. and i would start a new thread for a new grow.

I ended up not moving into the house - long story. But I will be using this extra room in my apt. for the grow room. Or I might throw it somewhere else. I'm not really sure right now. I'm going to be getting all my new shit gathered up this weekend as well as placing an order for some seeds.

I'm going to go with at least 4.5-5 gallon pots on this next grow. I'm going to use the same FF soil as well, I loved that stuff. I'm thinking about putting in another 400 watt system so that I can have MH and HPS going at the same time. So many damn decisions to make, it's making my head spin.

I just want to say thanks again to all you guys that have followed a long with me on this journey and have helped out. I consider all of you really good friends and I'm here for any of you guys that need help. It's a real bummer we can't all get together and blaze up.

I want another 400 watt mh, but only for my Veg room. I think that one grower can never be satisfied with their light set up.

Its always bigger, or "I will just make another room"
