Been curing for 1 week, where has that beautiful aroma gone?

**Bud-e** · 04-04-17, 09:24 PM

Hi folks. Need a bit of reassurance, I have had my Superskunk auto sealed in jars for about a week now. I was disappointed on opening them as they just dont hit me with that wow factor? They smelt gorgeous when I put them in! The Rh is between 62 and 66 in all 5 jars. They took around 4 days to dry out in my tent with gentle airflow. No fans pointing directly at them. I have burped the jars until I was happy things were not drying out too fast. The Rh seems fairly stable now. Do I just cure it longer and wait it out? I want that strong pungent smell to hit my nostrils while thinking 'I grew that!'. I need your input guys

When you break a bud open can you smell it?

Hi, yes I can its kind of weak and not really pugent, and it does smell kind of like hay. It feels ok and doesn't feel too wet or dry. Ive sealed it back up for now. I have read conflicting things on the internet, and I have got this far with help from this forum. So im guessing just wait longer?

Amuse me... put a pic up of one of the jars... don't open it or shake it, just take a pic of the jar as it is

(I'm wanting to see how the bud is sat... it can sometimes tell a story)

The longer the dry the sweeter the cure imo

It's probably gone wet again in which case you need to
Have it out an dry it a bit more or it's just a case of it needing
Burping still.the smell will come in another week or two.

You say you can't get to it which makes me think it's not with you
In which case there's another question of are the jars being burped
Regular still? Coz if it is wet then it's no good letting it sit in shut jars.

I work at night so I was unable to get to it. I have kept the Rh between 60-65 burping along the way, sometimes taking it out of a jar that went over 70%. I dont think its wet. Im using calibrated Calibre IV hygrometers in each jar. I watch them daily. I will just get a photo...
