    Default Not smelling right

    Looking to solve problem of bud smelling odd once it’s been dried and then placed in zip bag,recently started growing again and the only major difference is that I’ve been cropping,trimming and then drying in net tower instead of cropping then hanging(space limits me these days) Buds smell lovely after 2 weeks of drying but 2/3 in bag then it seems to change smell,any ideas?

    The smell should return with a good cure

    Don't really want to be "that guy" but
    Have you used these bags before with success as opposed to the tried and trusted way of curing and storing in jars?
    It's just that with jars even though my buds seem dry after 5 or 6 days I'll jar them up but leave lids off pretty much 12 hours a day or more with burping and this'll go on for a good few weeks more, giving them a shufty now and again
    For me I just find anything I put in zip bag begins to sweat some how especially with plant matter
    Anyway there goes the meter

    Hmm multiple bags are much better for selling and distribution than they are for storage.

    Have another read of the rules and make sure you're in the right place.

    No ones said anything about “multiple bags”

    No I'm not saying jars are better mate that's why I asked if it's worked in the past, I've dried trim and put into bags but just one leaf with a small amount of moisture could turn a whole bag sour so it goes straight in the freezer
    I grow fruity strains like orange sherberts, tangerine and grapefruits so it's all about the long cure of 5/6 weeks or even longer for the smell of cut grass to go and the fruit smell to show
    I have heard vacuum sealed bags being used, just not for me

    I misread, but it never hurts to read the rules twice
