Ive strarted curing and the buds are all still on the branches just cut w/no leaves but they dont smell like dank, they smell like grass kinda... Does this go away and start smelling like dank?

Was the harvest early?

Did you flush like hell the week and the night before harvest?

Did you harvest during the light cycle or right before the lights were supposed to go on?

well...dry em. then start curing I guess is all you can do. There are some really good guides on here for harvesting and curing, check them out man. I have seen grassy bud actually turn sweet, its mostly chlorophyll that makes that nasty grass smell (which breaks down as the bud dries and cures). Good luck! And hell, at least you made it to the finish! Congrats on the first pull!

at no point should there be more than a hint of fresh grass. so many people ruin their bud manicuring at harvest, u want the dank stank remove only the sun leaves, and only the ones long enough to have stem pertruding from the bud (so u dont mangle ur fresh buds getting to the leaf stem) hang and finish the trim when its dry then cure... /.02

yeah man my shit smelled like hay through drying. cure in glass jars for like 2-4 weeks and the dank smell will come. i heard that the hay smell is chlorophyl making its way out of the bud........but yeah i harvested two diesel ryders and it smelled like junk. after 2 weeks of cure they smelled like fruity DANKNESS
