Grassy buds

I have buds that seem like they were either dried too quickly or not cured very well. They are dry and the stems snap when bent, and also have a grassy smell. I did not grow/dry/cure them myself. I am wondering if there is any way I can improve the taste and smell? For example, will curing them further improve anything or remove the chlorophyll or grassiness at this point?

Everything I have found relates to either wet buds or Buds that have yet to be dried and cured.
 
Hello FortyNation hmm wonder if the plant was harvested way to early? I don't really think there's a good way of improving that but i'm no expert. Buds smell in mid to late flower is what I've found. I bet it was harvested early, sorry man :(

continue to cure them yourself

find a jar and let them air for an hour or two daily

or you could try the old paper bag trick

good luck
 
Sounds like they weren't dried properly. Slow/proper dry removes that grassy smell. There's a change you can improve them, air em out like vostak says. About all you can do.
 
You could try putting them in a jar with a humidi-pak for a couple of weeks. Pop the tops daily. see if you can put some moisture back into them if their already dry and crumbly. I wouldnt put them in paper bags..that'll just dry them out more. They were probably harvested too early..just wern't ready. Have you done a taste test yet? Go burn one and get back to us....lol
 
As homegrown has said I put my too quickly dried pot in a jar with a humidipak and burped it daily for weeks and the flavor did improve. Certainly not perfect but it does help.
