The damn HAY smell wont go away. I burp it daily... It's been forever. I still havent smoked it.. I can tell it will taste like shit and be very harsh.

Do I need to cut more leafs from it??

I am going to attempt to smoke a piece tomorrow night to see how it goes...

But... really no tips for getting rid of the bad smell? I want the smell of some nice cannabis back!

Ok.. So I took the leap of faith and I smoked some.. Out of a pipe (eww.. Im a blunt man).. anyways.. two hits.. then I wandered downstairs.. and came back for another.. I wasnt sure for awhile there if I was high or not.. But now I realize I am totally bleezed.. I just remembered I promised to come on here while I was high from it.. So here I am!

There is some crazy ass noise outside my window right now and I have no idea what it is.. LOL... anyways..

so yup.. it works.... oh yeah, it tastes like shit and it smokes harshly.
I never knew what a "upper high" or "energetic high" was like until now...

Dude, Im hearing some trippy ass shit.. I think Im gonna go... hope Im still alive next time I get on.

I think you have to cure it for a while to get rid of the chlorophil. I couldn't wait for mine to stop smelling of hay either. Worked great though.

One nice thing about a vaporizer is you don't taste it as much. You can smoke some harsh shit and it won't matter, you're just getting the THC anyway.

I didn't I was too impatient. ;)

I've read that you should cure for a whole month at least if you're going to cure. On a video I watched about an Australian grower the guy would cure his for SIX MONTHS!

Yeah me too so now I'm growing way more than I will need so every harvest I can save at least half of it for a long cure.

they are going to keep that hay smell...premature herb doesnt get that familiar smell until they are almost done....and the reason you dont see any moisture on the jar is beacause they are done....no more moisture to dissapate....good job man...get them seeds going........
