    If I put my nose near them they smell sour and carpetish smell similar to last lot
    Some the smell doesn’t really kick in until the plant starts to ripen at the end of flower. It’s should smell still, but the real potent thick smells come near the end of the grow. Maybe that’s the issue?

    ud wait a month for the main thick stems to fully dry out also those smaller lower buds could probably be jarred up at 4-15 days depending on trimming/size/humidity

    a question jimmy how is the smell b4 u chop mate
    didn't i read u wondered why ur girls don't smell or summit
    That's a very overlooked point I reckon. I was still trying to snap the thick bits till about day 7 when I realised I was checking the wrong stems. Caught my mistake just in time I think.

    They do smell just not as much as a cured bud you snap in half

    I think putting them in darkness before the chop is the common preference. I did it during lights on tho cause I was in a rush and it smokes fine. No doubt someone will soon advise who is more in the know

    yea some do lights off for days and days b4 they are chopped to remove stored sugars for a better smoke
    lots also don't bother and just chop when needed

    I used to give 24 hours darkens before chop, but I never noticed it make a difference so just chop normal, but before the lights come on. No difference, it’s the drying that is the most important bit

    totally agree macky, left em in dark for 5 full days - no noticeable difference when smoked,
    if i say don't bother it's a waste of time, those that do might jump all over it lol

    Just be ready to back up your argument with experience rather than something read off a website you don’t really know if any of these techniques work until you try them yourself
