Well how did you dry, properly or fast, if you did it fast then i believe you are stuck with that smell

No, perfect example I can give is the budsbthat got cut off from the plant from caterpillar damage before I noticed and stayed drying in the sun still on the plant while they lost their nice vibrant green color still retained the stinkyness

Wet trimming is much faster, and harvest time makes up some of the cure time, then bucket storage slows down the dry time with regular airing, and the next cycle under way in mean time. I am not refuting what you say, just that it isn't justifiable for a lot of growers, it would lose 1 crop annually. Even if you had a dedicated cure room, with the above version, you could turn that into another veg or flower space instead. Either way, does the increased cure quality justify the lost annual weight?. That obviously depends how much better the cure is, and how fussy people are.

Again, why are you responding to me when this has nothing to do with the subject I was addressing re: maximising quality through proper harvest practices?

Yes, every square foot of space used to dry material is technically a square foot which could be used to grow something. What an insightful addition to the discussion.

''ah come off it'' I shouldn't have put it like that in the first post, sorry.

The topic was about hay smelling weed, you assertively jumped to the extreme of pro cures, without considering some growers might actually try it, while their friends or customer base likely couldn't tell, or give a shit about cured weed over pro cured weed. At that point they are just losing yield, it was worth adding some counterbalance.

It's just fucked up how some say you get the taste from leaving it for long enough and others swear it taste unfinished or shit unless it's glassed, cured and boveda rh percentage.

I don't write this shit but this once I'm pointing out your emotional conflicted bullshit and saying you need to go away, decide a one size fits all answer then come back and stop being so cryptic and conceptual.

If you cut anything off early, once dry it'll never smell as good as it would if it were ripe. Cured? --why cure an early snippin? Waste of time. Just smoke it when dry.

I stopped cutting early samples a while ago, they just don't smoke as well, and never give any indication what the finished product will really be like. I used to snip a bud to check trichomes, but now i just pull the whole plant away from the fans.

Buds shouldn't really lose their smell if done correctly and pulled when they're actually ready. Problem is most pull far too early. Couple that with piss poor drying setups then you end up with shit.
