jar curing question please help

Well i dont know if this might help but i had to harvest 2 weeks early. My main concern is that the smell is starting to fade away even the grass smell. Is this because i harvested early. It still smells but not as strong as it used to. It's on its 4 day curing.


thanks

lack of strong odor has certainly been my experience with premature harvests

you eather had a shitty pheno or early harvest. im having the exact oposite problem harvesting at 9 weeks. the stuff smells through the jars. some stuff i harvested at 7 weeks did the same thing though. i took a hermie down at 6 weeks and it hardly smelled, i gave most of the bud away. be patient and plan ahead to allow plants to fully develop you will thank yourself later. sometimes in emergency situations we have to cut earlie, but i would say 99% of the time its just us talking ourselves into it trying to justify it. how many weeks of flowering did you get in?

unfortunately i had to cut down 2 weeks early due to really bad rain and bud rot on one of the cola's. That sucks is there anything i can do to bring that smell back.

well said =D when it comes to these things, its almost ALWAYS genetics or early harvest.

true about the justification as well. I had 3 girls a few days ago, but been out of bud for weeks. well, one came down. sure, it wasn't so early it wasn't worth it, but i knew before i did it i could wait 2 weeks safely, i just wanted the herb =D the other 2 girls are gunna get their fair shake at time now that iam not constantly feening and wanting to cut 3 samples a day lol

unfortunately not much. remove all mold, dont overdry, and get a proper cure, thats about all you can do. Best of luck man!

^^ agreed, and if it dosent turn out decent enough after being fully cured, Ice hash is always a nice substitute
but there is many ways to make hash http://www.cannabisculture.com/v2/content/how-make-wicked-hash

anyway hope that helps, let us kno how the cure goes

by proper cure so i know ive been burning the jars for 2-4 hours every 12 hours for the past 3 days. After a week how many times should i burp them. I also noticed that my very small buds just a couple actually have webbing not on the outside but in the inside. Does that mean theres spiters in my bud.

Thanks for the responses guys

yeah man that sounds like spidermite to me, i wouldent smoke the weed personally, Hash is my method when that stuff happens, or honey oil whatever you prefer.

" also noticed that my very small buds just a couple actually have webbing not on the outside but in the inside. Does that mean theres spiters in my bud."

Probably spider mites.

lol my first harvest sucks now spidermites! lol anyway to get rid of them

i mean they will probably die soon since the plant isent alive anymore, and they need live plant mater to eat.
but then there will be dead bug carcasses in all of your weed........ as i said before, hash or oil is the best thing you
could possably do if you want some good smoke,
how much did you loose?
shitty news on the first harvest man, But try again! Next time pick up some neem oil, and spray your plants with it (just vegetative stage)
its an all natural insecticide
and Neem oil does work! but the way it works is different from other insecticides. Neem is not an instant, knock down, kill everything pesticide.
Neem oil affects insects in many different, ingenious and subtle ways.
Neem oil has many complex active ingredients. Rather than being simple poisons, those ingredients are similar to the hormones that insects produce. Insects take up the neem oil ingredients just like natural hormones.
Neem enters the system and blocks the real hormones from working properly. Insects "forget" to eat, to mate, or they stop laying eggs. Some forget that they can fly. If eggs are produced they don't hatch, or the larvae don't moult.
Obviously insects that are too confused to eat or breed will not survive.

Ahahah Sorry a little carried away!
Hope This Helps For Next Time!

You said just a couple small ones had some webbing - could just be from a moth or some type of small cocoon. I see them in my buds sometimes and just pick 'em out. Spider mites will do noticeable damage to your leaves...
