Drying and curing smell

I’m in the same boat as you... on my first harvest of some fiiire I put so much time effort and research into growing this properly and even more into drying and curing. I cut whole plant hung with fans on 3 days ago... in my bathroom temps between 61-68 F with 52-60% at a pretty steady 56% I had a mini fan blowing under the buds on high and I made sure not to have any direct air flow and have had my bathroom exhaust running here and there and today at the end of day 3 i can smell that harsh fresh grass smell. Stems not snapping, nugs still wet but the chlorophyll smell is getting stronger. When I squeeze a nug tho and smell my fingers ohhh my god does it smell good but when I just lean up and smell the buds it doesn’t smell? I’m assuming this is the process of chlorophyll breaking down and just being released into the air... and that at the end of this slow dry in about a week the bathroom will smell like OG!

Been seeing comments a lot on people having the hay and grass smells when drying bud. I’ve heard drying to fast or it was cut too early but a few of these comments people have near perfect conditions and still end up with this smell. Here is an example of one I just saw. Anyone have any idea what’s going on with his harvest?

There is no chlorophyll smell. You cannot smell chlorophyll coming from a plant.

In my drying environment , the "green" smell dissipates around day 7-10 and the terpene aromatics kick in around day 14.
Just my experience.
