    Default Answered: drying help day 6 wtf??

    so i took 1 of my blues down (strain i grown for 2grows now its sexy )
    dryed it out a bit fast in 3days due to a dry cubord oops my bad smelt liek hay,

    i took down my other 2 and slowly dryed them keepin them hanging dark and they was still totaly wet on day 4
    day 5 they started crisping onthe edges but with green stems and but about 20%into the buds, so thats good

    now imon day 6(yesterday) and there starting to become somewhat ''smokeable'' with fresh taste but not enough to stain ya tounge just know its fresh ) this is smaller buds mind..

    so the others which are stil slightly stem green but 50% dryish on way into the bud i decided to put them in a big ass plastic box to help them sweat back move evenly for liek 3-5hrs,

    they sponged up a little bit so i was happy, re hung them on the rack, now today im smellin them, the buds on the floor on carpet smell good that dryed out in liek 3days from carpet lol

    but the big ass fat colas which are stem green still but 75% bud dry smell amonia/chloraphil green again and dont smell dank, there hay like on the first fast dry .


    @@@@@@@@@@@
    i am hoping this is because ive reswetted the green evenly so i have more ammonia escaping....and i need to wait until there crisping again snap stems this time to jar them ...??

    im worried at the hay smell and worried if i keep playing im gona mess it up so im askin advice so i dotn keep tinker testing ..
    im worried if i wait longer there gone crisp out bone dry on edges and be smellless.... or wil that not be the case??


    ive grown somuch theats been easy to dry this plants prooving me problems this time round , its all due to summer months i sware, llol i ran a huminifier in the room to stop it being so dry (seperate room to where the cubard is )

  2. "the smell will come back during curing mate, slow drying is best at around 18 to 20degree, rh between 50 an 60

    I would like to reply with a sensible answer to you son but after reading your post and reading it again you've managed to head fuck me and now your fucked hahaha

    I've always found drying to be the easy part generally using the tent I used to flower in having the extractor fan on and oscillating fan on the floor whilst my buds hang high keeping the room at 70 degrees 50 percent rh humidity for first 2-3 days then down to 40% rh humidity for another 48 hours then a sweat in a large jar easy peasy

    As Joker said the proper smell should return while curing. Trick is to do it slowly, you can't rush it in my opinion.

    I have hung mine 3 to 5days stems snappin thought i over did it coz weather was hot an air con was even strugglin. Jard them up boom couple days later RH sitiin at 68.
    I rather put mine in the jar sooner at 70odd. Then keep emptyin them here an there . Then start burpin few times a day Till i get to the 65% . Each to the own but i get a smooth strong smellin bud for it.
