Good conditions for drying room ?

Hmmm. What strain. Sounds like you did it right.

Auto blueberry , it was outside for most of its life then brought inside for the last 2-3 weeks . Got over 30 g off one of them , topped the cola and it caused it to stress out and make loads of big buds down the bottom. Just a shame it smells like hay

 

[Ragamuffin]

Could it be that maybe it needed another week or two before I harvested it ? Maybe I was a tad early

 

[WeedHopper]

Is it curing in Glass jars?

 

[RosterMan]

^^^^ Yes Are you burping the jars to allow for the needed Off gassing of mostly chlorophyll (causes the hay smell)

 

[Ragamuffin]

Yeah a glass sealable jar . Was burping once a day for half an hour or so then once every two days for the last couple weeks ? I seem to have followed everything online , even had a humidity thing in the jar to keep an eye on it .

 

[Ragamuffin]

Big one haha

 

[WeedHopper]

Damn that's a big jar.

 

[RosterMan]

Big one haha

Are you filling it to the top or only 1/2 way the jar needs some air space in it to work and keep from squishing the buds .
Also It happens to us all, my 1st few drys smelled like hay too, took me a while until I knew by feel when to jar them babies up
I only burp for a few mins a jar myself , just enough to do a good air exchange in the jar and seal back up.

never liked those for curing weed…they leak air

so I have stuck to the screw on lids with rings….they work

Oh snap was that a snap lid with rubber seal
What Big said I agree

 

[RosterMan]

I lied I have some Big square ones like that and I do use them when needed
for burping but not long term storage, But if you have to get new gasket (they sell ne ones) so you have a fresh seal everytime

Do most people here Wet or dry trim their buds

I do a wet trim, then a clean up after it’s dried. I find it harder to get the sugar leaves off once the cling dry to the buds

Thats what i discovered too

I don’t really go for beautiful buds like @pute makes but we don’t have to impress our customers as it’s only for us and we don’t mind shaggy weed.

Do you guys think that’s possibly the problem? If it’s not air tight it probably won’t cure probably hence the hay smell still lingering after 4/5 weeks ? I have no problem buying some screw tops if that’s the problem

So did you find it was the timing of you putting the weed in the jar that was making the hay smell ? Did you start to wait longer or jar soooner ? I hoped to have it cracked by now haha everything else is going really well every time

 

[Ragamuffin]

Also I he room I used has no windows or anything , not really an open air flow it’s more of a big cupboard
