Harvest & Curing Diffrent smell stages of the cure?

[carl brutananadilewski]

No not the band... ha. Ok that was cheesy. But i just harvested and put into my jar and i noticed my flowers dont smell like sour d anymore... more like a pile of leaves... but with a lil weed smell hidding there. Is this normal? My dry rooms temps where way to high so i think that might be it but i wanted to know if i can do anything to bring that sour diesel smell back to my flower? Boveda pack mabey? @Eyes on Fire

O ok good i was worried there. So thats normal when u first jar it up? Is there a timeline to expect it to come back? Week or so?

 

[Coffee&Kush]

Yeah totally normal. It's just all the gasses from the plant "breaking down" and doing its thing. Could come back after a couple weeks to a month maybe? Like I said, I can't keep my hands out of the cookie jar though. Have you sampled any yet?

O wow thanks for giving me hope man i needed that boost today haha.
Well actually i cant smoke i get really bad panic attacks if i do. My last hope is a high cbd strain i guess. My friend did yesterday tho and he said it was pretty good. Didnt make him cough so i dont know if not coughing is a good thing or bad mabey u do?

once its been jarred man, after the first couple days of burping and letting the buds breath some you should see and smell them changing some and especially if you sample once a week too. you'll taste the difference as well assuming all was done roughly decent. aint gotta be perfect but like he said, it'll slowly come back depending and various things. but in general in all of 2 weeks of simple burping it should mellow out some and start to take on a taste,smell and better high usually.

Some strains seem to really expand in your chest, others not so much. It sounds like you have a pretty smooth smoke though. Did it have a slow dry before you put in in jars?

O god now i live in az and with a humidifier in a walk in closet it was really dry by day three of 50 percent humidity. But the temps in the dark drying area was about 86 degrees

You could try the paper bag method next time, maybe that would slow it down a little? a good investment is a caliber hygrometer, it'll fit right in the bud jar and give you a heads up with what's going on, so you know the rh throughout the cure.

Wow! Well hell you got me lol. If it works, that's all that matters. When you smoked, did you smoke a lot or just a couple puffs? (Not trying to be nosey.) I had quit smoking for a few years and the first hand full of times I went full blown 'tard lol. One time I couldn't hear anyone talk it was like everything was all muffled and distorted and I started wondering wtf I smoked! But they smoked it too and it was just me...needless to say they thought it was funny lol. Other than that it was the racing heart, felt like my blood sugar dropped too low etc. Then after eating and building my tolerance up for the last 10 years, everything is good lol. There's probably some lower thc herb with some great tasting terp's though. Only thing is finding one that suits you best!
