Odd smelling marijuana ?

I was at a party recently when someone brought out some home grown pot. It was very good, but had like an amonia (or chlorphyl) smell to it. When I asked why, the person said he wasn't sure because it was his first attempt at growing. He said he grew it & trimmed it & then hung the buds up to dry & hadn't attempted any special curing process other than that. He said after it had somewhat dried he put it in jars & periodically opened the lids to let air out. He said he thought it had this smell because he hadn't cured it in paper bags or anything. Is this a natural smell from not curing?

usually a bad dry or cure will result in a hay like smell. Never had anything smell like ammonia though.

Ammonia scented weed is bad news bear . Take a closer look with a scope and look for Molds ..

How did it burn?
I noticed when I dried some, it had kind of an ammonia smell to it a few days after I jarred it, but after a few more days of burping, it went away and started to smell good.

It didn't seem to burn real well. It might not have been totally dry.
