smells

why dosent buds smell as good as the plant did?

The fragrance/aroma is overpowered by the green chlorophyll smell immediately after harvest.

A slow dry, and a good 6 weeks MINIMUM of curing properly will pull that smell back out. The longer it cures, the better it will smell

Thanks
what is the proper way?
