I never cured my stuff, let it hang for a week, final trim, bag and gone, shit smelled just like everyone elses, maybe i was just lucky. but my stuff had no nutes for last few weeks...play nice everyone or i will come back with a bat and smoke it ha ha
Uncured bud does _not_ smell or taste like properly cured bud.

You can compare it to wine.
The wine is drinkable, and dependent on the maker might taste really good, right off the tap.
Leave it in the bottle under proper conditions and the wine will mature with age and improve in odour and taste.

The same is true for cured marijuana.

The first two times I cured i waited untill the outside was crispy threw em in jars and within a day they lost their funk and smelled like grass. The last time around I waited an extra day or two and threw em in. The hygrometers read 65-70RH which is MUCH lower than I was doing previously. When I finally acquired hygrometers I found out I was curing at near 80-85%RH. I seriously couldn't tell it was that humid by feel so once the hygrometers went into the jars where I can monitor my levels I've yet to smell grass.

what i found best is trim plants place buds on screen let them there with fan blowing on them for like 3 days temps in the 60 - 65 degree mark once 3 days has passed i place them in baggies for 8 to 12 hrs sorta like sweating them bringing any humidity inside the bud to outside of bud place them back on screens for 30 hrs then re bag them opening them up every day for like 30 mins moving buds gently around and there done in about 10 days smell is great smoke is awesome

i only sell one kind of weed, barneys farm lsd, vegged for 2 weeks and flowered for 65 days until milky trichs just turning amber, water only for last 10 days grown in.... wait for it....canna terra professional plus soil,, 3 days without water before cut down, and i use a secret concoction of nutes.
and thats my fucking business knowing what they are, you cure if you want to cure, but my weed is dried in 5 days bagged on the 6th and sold on the 7th.

Didn't read the whole thread but I know just what you mean Jim, only this year I nailed down my drying game, Coldsmoke has a thread on here called "show me your drying setups" where you can get not only some great information but you can see a lot of design ideas, and it's really help me tighten up my drying game now my weed smells most proper believe me! :hump:

Your going to need a designated area and inkbird type humidity controller, humidifier, and a small clip fan at bare minimum

And that's just the drying!:o ..even more Alchemy happens in the jars! Jar them at 65% humidity, set a time and open them every 8 hours for 4 days, then every 12 hours for four more days and then once a day for another week minimum, at every phase carefully monitoring the relative humidity in the jar. When they're around 58% humidity (never below 58%) vacuum seal the jars for long-term storage
-good luck!

cure,, cure,,

you dont need to cure,,

i have never cured weed in my life.

i sell it, i dont smoke it and i have a huge queue of buyers waiting on this grow finishing.

i dry it at 40% hr 18c with oscilating fans on in the room facing down to the floor to stir the air and i do it for 5 days.
on the 6th day i bag it, and on the 7th day well we all know what happens on the 7th day!!!

it sounds to me as though you are drying it in a place lined with plastic walls and it is dampness that gives you that smell, think of grass trimmings in a huge pile in the summer, dig down to the bottom and its warm/hot and damp and stinks that is what you have.

get some fresh air in there, and open the drying room door a few times a day.
the secret is to make sure there is no high humidity, dampness.

curing it is just a way to ferment it further, rather like alcohol, you put it in to mason jars and open them 15 minutes per day and your buds can last up to a year.

all that hard work ruined beacause you knackered the dry process.

and do not dry it too quick either.
You don’t know shit about shit dude
