Hi guys.
First grow coming right to an end. Im thinking of cutting in a couple of days.
Now to be honest this grow has gone at least x12million better than i was expecting.
I am now finding myself worrying about the dry and cure. As i wasn't expecting the plant to look and smell so great.
I recently cut a small branch off. To test my little drying rack. and fan. All seems well. Good temps, Humidity is low in there, but, im guess once the fresh bud is in that will ramp up and create a pocket of humidity?
Now to my question.
Is it normal for the bud to smell a bit rubbish after cutting. During the drying process, and the smells will come back with the cure?
Because my buds on the plant smell like heaven. The branch i cut of smells like that nasty homegrown you'd get at 14 years old haha.
From what i understand the curing is a kind of fermentation process almost.
Also, my plan is. Early morning, prior to lights on. cut the stem. and start trimming. Bud left on their branches at this stage. Hung up upside down for two days to initially dry somewhat. Then whilst still on their branches but smaller sections, i have created a small set of drawers with the bottoms replaced with mesh and the sides of the draw set also so its very nice and airy, placed in the drawers to finish up drying. Then manicure and into LeParfait kilner jars. 1-2 days of regular burping, 1 week of less regular, then every other day or so.
Am i on a good track?
Just very worried how the test bud i cut off has lost its smell so drastically.
Thanks guys and gals. Please help me not get this wrong!!!!!!!
