Please Help me loss of the aroma after Drying & Curing

[arakawa]

I harvested my tree in the 7th week due to some mold. After harvesting, I dried my buds by cutting all the leaves and hanging them up for 5 ~ 6 days with a temperature of 29c moisture. 50% ~ 60% I use 62% packing and open the jar once a day for 1 ~ 2 minutes

- My bub after 10 days in a bottle with 62% Boveda when smelling outside the bud only smells like dry grass, my bud is almost odorless if smelling outside.

-But when I squeezed the flower bud lightly and smelled the smell of marijuana.

What did I do wrong?
Here are some information and pictures of my bud before chopping trees hope your help thanks a lot
My nutrients and soil that I use:
pH Perfect® Grow nutrients, Micro, Bloom, big buds, b52, x bud factor, bud buds.
My soil is 40%, perlite, vermiculite, cast worm, coir.and tea guano
led mars hydrogen pro 900w, 28c humidity temp box 60%

Hay smell is usually from not drying slow and low enough during the hang.

I like to dry around 65f 60%. Very light airflow around 6 to 8 days.

Here’s what went wrong ......

1. Chopped TOO EARLY
2. Dried too SHORT ( time ) .... low and slow for up to 10 days.
3. Used Boveda packs ( when trying to cure ) .... they are for “ storage “ only .... you need to
have the buds “ ready to jar “ by having it dried properly first.... Boveda will not cure your buds ,
It pushes and pulls moisture to “ stabilize “ an already Rh stable bud.

Your buds have the grass smell from being unfinished in flower. That flower needed at least 3 weeks more.

thank you a lot !

I hate that you had to harvest early! But I suppose early chopped buds is preferrable to moldy chopped buds..better luck next time buddy.

When you say they should dry for up to ten days, do you mean that they should hang for up to 10 days before being placed into jars to begin curing? I'm just curious because I can rarely get my plants to hang any longer than 4-6 days until the outside of the buds are completely dry feeling. Is this right, or am I drying too quickly?

I also you
I dry with a dehumidifier for about 5 days with a temperature of 29 ~ 32c humidity 55 ~ 60% (the climate where I live hot and humid) I found smaller branches broken and the outside of the bud felt dry
and I put it to the jar

Subjective... what ever your environment is dialed is fine. Low and slow is the ticket.

29c is like 85f, doesn't that sound too hot for a drying room?

Also, not sure about others but, i learned NOT to use bovedas unless the bud is already dried & semi-cured, it fucks with flavor if i use them immediately.

I can rarely have mine dried enough to go into jars within 10 days.10 -16 is more the norm for me. Everyone's climate is different.
Ive seen 60F at 60RH mentioned a fair bit as a nice guideline for a dry.

Glad i read this... my basement stays at 65-67 and 58-62% RH.. know where i'm hanging em now

 

[LinguaPeel]

You used bottled, synthetic, plastic manure with a reggae banana on the label (that weakened you plants and gave them mold) and can't figure out why your living ferment bush isn't of a natural quality?

10 thousand years of cultivation without even knowing what thc or terpenes or any of that crap was.. And it took humanity 30 years to ruin the funkiest plant around with "science". Just like the rest of earth.

Science + Cannabis! Normie pot! Hay! Very advanced hay!

Not arguing with you... but are you actually saying that his choice of nutes caused mold?

Dang. I'm jealous of you growers with basements.

West coast.....basement-less.

Wow am I jealous of your environment! Hahaha. I have a basement, but with 2 other tents running with air pumps and all, it doesn't stay very cool!

You should really ignore everything Linguapeel posts. He is an absolute lunatic that rants aimlessly about shit he doesn't have a clue about.

 

[Logan Burke]

I must admit, his post made little if any sense to me. I'm not sure about the rest of humanity, but my last crop looked mighty damn fine to me using synthetic nutes. Not quite sure how humanity has failed to improve cannabis considering the fact that, between new growing methods and new genetics, we are producing the highest yielding highest potency strains the world has ever seen in the past 10-20 years...but hey, I'm sure those cavemen from 10,000 years ago would put us right in our place in regard to horticulural sciences. You hear this a lot from people who simply aren't skilled at growing, and hurl their feces at everything but their own incompetency...

I wouldn't be...

Ah, thank you. I'm pretty new here, not sure who is who yet..

Honestly, i would rather be on the west coast without a basement.. i find this area horrible (michigan) fat drunk people that are rude and have zero consideration for others.. i hope that's not the whole country.. but here in this shitty red state it's how life is.

Pretty sure it’s the whole country, just count your blessing that it’s legal where your at.
