Ok first harvest and I had a solo cup that finished early harvested and and been curring for about a week or so in getting a nasty hay/chlorine smell and of course die to impatience I smoked a blunt which was the worst taste I've ever experienced is there anything I can do to get the taste and smell I want or is that batch doomed thanks in advance

Don't harvest early. Let cure longer , don't dry to fast , slow dry works better, should get a bit better in time with cure if buds are not too dry.
You monitoring temp humidity while drying?

It may have dried to fast I'm a bit lost here dry to the touch but if I squeeze it then I smell the good smell
When I say finished early I mean it was planted a bit before the rest of my garden the temp is 79-81 degrees humidity is constant at 50%

Plants only "finish early" when they are stressed
Stressed plants lose taste

I think a big question would be did it really finish early or did the OP chop early. I think more times than not people just chop plants down before they are done. It's like eating green bananas, sure it produced fruit and you can eat it but if you let it ripen properly it becomes a much better treat.

60degrees/60rh for drying and the same for curing. cool and not dry air is best. as for the hay smell you probably chopped a couple days early or dryed to quick

Look your description makes it sound like you dried to quick
Putting little moisture back in and slow drying again is your only hope
So a brown grocery bag can slow drying but yours is already flash dried
