I don’t know what you mean. But if you grew enough, You would know that when you harvest to soon. The weed smells like under a lawnmower. I mean. Every seasoned gardener knows this. And that wet trim dry trim bullshit.
where are you getting this? I do whatever I feel like when time comes. As long as I flower the distance. Usually 70 days or longer. I’ve never had a hay smell. That’s from experience Not google.

When it looks like weed you’d smoke man. C mon bro. Don’t overthink it. The buds will be swollen. Your hairs will be dark orange. Most of todays genetics have a very low leaf to calyx ratio. So you can usually tell very easily.

It has nothing to do with harvest time.

Hay smell is chlorophyll decaying -- like after you mow the lawn. It's normal to smell it right after chopping the plant and during the drying period, but if you dry slow enough it goes away. Based on your environment numbers, it dried too fast.

Good news is it will go away after awhile in jars. Burp them a couple times per week and you'll start to notice a more pleasant smell after awhile. Bad news is a lot of the volatile esters, alcohols, terpenes have evaporated so it won't smell as good as it could. More good news is it will still get you ripped and you learned some lessons.

I have some right now in jars that smell like hay, but i know from experience that this old school skunk will cure into some of the finest indica anyone could want, the hay smell should go away with some cure time.

autos dont need 12/12 light to flower, only difference between autos and photos- good for places with short DL hours out doors or growing indoors - never believe breeder seed to harvest crap- have found autos require approx 12-15 weeks in flower so approx 16-20 weeks from seed about right ( indoors),others have different views on this subject, I guess that's what the search function is for- research :bigjoint:
