    That's exactly it Hunter, I've kept checking for budrot because of that smell, thinking theres no way it could be right...?! So your stuff came good after a cure then mate? (smell & taste-wise)

    could the jars be tainted? was anything in them previously other than bud?
    i used a very well washed beetroot jar to store some of my first crop. the jar was super clean and had no detectable smell when i jarred up but the weed did pick up a noticable vinegary tinge to it after a while curing which i can only put down to the seal in the lid retaining the smell of its original contents. lesson learnt for me.

    That's another problem I had, I had a shit-load of pickle jars, scrubbed the fook outta them, but the LIDS are impossible to get the pickled smell out of... so I binned that idea, bought a boot-load of new glass jars, from my local hardware shop, washed them beforehand, so I'm sure it's not that... I lined a plastic storage tub with foil yesterday & put a load of buds in that, left it open overnight, then sealed the top with a heavy wooden board... The buds in there seem to have lost that bad smell, but the rest in the jars is the same. (I burped the jars for about 2-3 hours today also) I might rotate the other jarred buds through this tub, as it seems to scrub off a lot of the bad smell, can it be re-hydrated "dealer-style" to re-ignite it tho...

    yeh maybe it just dried a little too fast.

    esp if it crumbles like dust.

    when i did that my bud lost its smell so i put some bud that wasn't quite dry (but almost) in the jars with it, and burped it a couple of times a day, the dry stuff semmed to draw some moisture from the other and it all came good in the end.

    as long as it smokes good aye?

    This is what I don't get, the buds were already dry on the outside, during the last few days of the flush... I was putting pH5.8 water in the res, no nutes, then within a day the ec had jacked up from my water's background ec of 0.7 to 1.6-1.8... This must be the plant getting rid of stored nutes in the roots, I changed the water daily to help this happen, in the last 3-4 days (of a 10-day flush) the ec then remained at 0.7, so I thought "all good".

    But the buds were touch-dry, not really much smell at all. When I hung them to dry in the room, I had a fan on the lowest setting, pointing into a corner of the grow room on a timer, 20 mins per hour... So the air was being circulated, but not flowing directly on the buds.

    I've opened the lid of the big tub I switched some of them into, and the buds in there are now starting to get a sweeter, buzzy smell... I rekon I had them too tightly packed in the jars (doh) as the jarred stuff still has the weird smell. Lesson learned, line a plastic tub with tin foil & use that to cure... I've got 20+ oz off this one biatch, & had to chop my other 2 plants down (males) so I'm relying on this lot coming good, so I got something to smoke!

    "as long as it smokes good aye?" - I'm hoping it will Rizla, I mean it looks the absolute shit, loads of dark brown & red hairs, nice look... Now the smell is coming round.. If it keeps improving, my last hurdle is how to get it slightly moist again - I read a post on another forum where this guy uses a pan of boiling water & a grate over it, puts the buds over the top for 30 seconds per side, he rekons this improves the smell & makes the bud smoke a bit better too, if it's too dry

    To get it slightly moist again most people stick in a little piece of orange peel stuck to the underside of their curing jars.
    I think it only needs a few hours and you should have moisture back in the buds.
