I smell ammonia during curing

Sounds like you kept a big bud intact , which would cause a problem like this-

A large bud is nothing more than a bunch of small buds clumped together and in this case kept it from drying/curing.
Seperate the "good buds" from the large stinky one. Take the large stinky one and keep removing the lower/outer layer into smaller buds, then cure all those together. (a day or two of drying wouldn't hurt).
Once jarred wait at least 24 hrs and then take the buds out and allow to get some air for about 15 minutes- then resume burping the jar every day for 5 days - then every other day.

As far as the smaller ones - rejar and burp them every day for 5 days and continue yoru curing process.

One of the advantages of LST is to get the buds all the same size/potency which is a goal when growing medical marijuana.

Burping is opening ur jars to allow oxygen in. So first off I don't know shit. Just my experience so as far as size I would have to hold it in my hand. A bud has that very top that's sort of one piece then a bunch off segments I leave the top and cut the rest off. Hebula has a good tutorial on the main site. Hope that helps.

Once buds start to dry and you jar...it is highly recommended to have at least one hygrometer to rotate thru jars as it will tell you hour inside jar temp and humidity. OFTEN buds in jars get too high humidity ( over 65%) and you need to unjar them and spread them to dry some more. You want to be between 60-65..then they are curing. Yes burp them 2x a day for the first 2 weeks ( look up drying and curing on GWE site- info very clear). Also Boveda packs do t set your humidity, they should go in maybe a month after your cure is set.
IMHO
good luck with your return.

Caliber IV about 25$ online and worth every penny.

When using the Boveda 62 packs, when do you need to remove them from your jars? After curing is done or just leave them in?
