SH*$ it DRIED Tooo FAST!

Okay so I did the orange peel thing in the jar once. But again it dried totally in the jar. Can I KEEP adding the orange peel to the jar?

It should be a little moist and sticky no? Also, it doesn't have any smell other than fainter cut grass. Will smell eventually come'?

I initially dried it in a room with air sucking on it and it dried in 2 days! can I put a bowl of water in the room or something to keep it higher humidity?

Putting a bowl of water in there will increase humidity but may cause your buds to mould.

Sounds like they were too dry before they went into the jar....next time try drying them until the outside of the bud just starts getting kind of crisp. Then jar it overnight and check in the morning.

I've never heard of too much orange peel. I would keep an eye on it for mold though. your buds smell like cut grass? is there a bunch of leaf on it?

what should be moist and sticky, the buds? of course they should be. the orange peel will just dry up to nothing. you can also use lettuce, celery, etc.

i like to dry my buds to where the stems just begin to snap rather than bending.

put some iceberg lettuce in there

would this rejuvenate the smell? yeah they were way to dry even after i added orange peel. i opened it up for 3 hours and bam dry again. is it bad to remoisten them over and over again?

nah. curing them for a couple of weeks will though. did you flush?

in my experience, once they dry to fast too soon, they lock in chlorophyll that would have other wise decomposed over a 5 to 7 day slow dry. And will have an odd smell. I have found some genetics are better suited to fast drying and retain their skunky smell even after a quick dry, and little cure time. better luck next time ~

yeah i pretty much flushed. it's just really hot in the grow area and i guess not enough humidity.

nah that wont make it smell bad. how hot? and low humidity is good in flowering. also by pretty much flushed what did you do. you flush for a week?

My last grow went the way of smelling faintly like grass clippingsI had a fan blowing ON the buds I cured for some weeks but i didnt regain the "weed" smell BUT upside the grass/hay smell kind of went away.
