I have a plant that has such a strong smell that even just the seedlings have a smell. I have dried and cured this same strain a million times with hydro---this is my first time with soil.
I harvested the plant and hung it up to dry and it smelled awesome! AWESOME! So I tried a little and it was really good, some others thought so as well...so it wasn't just me...anyway hung it up to dry and when the stems, which I trim everything off the stem and trim it down, but I leave a good bit of stem to use to hang it..anyway when the large exposed stems are snappy I take it all down and cut the rest of the stem off and put it in jars...well my plants usually look like hell just sparse and sad, airy buds...just no good...but now with soil and good lights everything is super awesome. I actually have colas now! Anyway I put the weed in the jar and close it up...that night before bed I check on it....so about 5 hours later and my pot was like fresh wet and there was literally a puddle in the bottom of the jar...so I took it all out and laid it in a small cardboard box I use just for this purpose---anyway I wait til they feel pretty dry and put them back in the jar...same thing happens but not as bad...smaller puddle...wait for them to dry again and put them back in the jar...and they get all soggy again...---the issue is---Now that it is finally totally dry and what not it has no smell, no flavor...nothing...like I dried all the umph right out of it...is this possible? What is the deal? What would be a better drying method? Don't refrigerators dry things out...? Can you cure weed in the fridge? What would happen? Would it just mold...I don't know. Because while it has lost all smell and flavor it still gets me hella high.....Anyway help me out> I obviously don't know what i am doing...never had an issue but when a 4ft plant only yields 10g it is really easy to dry...lol. Now that I am better at growing I see that I have some flaws with my drying process....
