Hay smell?

Yes it's normal for them to smell like hay or fresh cut grass. Some of my hardiest smelling buds smelled like that when they were hanging. After a few days in jars the smell of the strain will come back. And every time you open them it will stink up the room with cannabis. 😃

Morning Jamie, what's the humidity like where you have them hanging ?
You need to get you some small hygrometers that fit inside quart jars ,so you can monitor them closely.
With out knowing your conditions, it's hard to say. About your buds.
Whatever you do ,don't let them get over dried. You can't always go by bending the stems.
Anyway after you dry your buds after a couple of grows, it's really simple.
If I'm not mistaken, @WeedPharma, just did a tutorial on how he dries his, really easy to do. It's on here somewhere, but I don't know how to tag it for you. Good Luck with yours,
Ps, your probably gonna need some Boveda packs to put in your jars too.

Yes mine go from smelling the whole house to what my wife says smells like bananas. We always have to get fresh bananas whenever i hang any because makes her have the banana munchies. After a good cure the smell you are missing comes back a little more everyday.
That being said im around the aroma so much i get others to judge it for me. I always smell like fresh flowers so have a hard time judging it.

Yes use the hydrometer in the jar. I have the 62% packs but only use them on my problem children. Lol As far as humidity in the room it can be done in almost any condition it will just change how and how long. Mine is usually 52 to 57% in the dry room. Never had an issue and works everytime.
When i cut and jar to early and i see iver 70% ill spread them out in a cardboard box. The time depends on how much higher than 70%. Can be a few hours up to 8. Then back to jars to check where the humidity is. By the way takes about 8 hours in jars plus to get the real humidity of the bud. Can drop in and show 54 and 8 hours later it can be 77%.

Hey Jamie, even after you get them in your jars, you have to check on them often, and if the humidity is too high, you need to burp them, by taking the tops of the jars a few minutes, before replacing.
I got a couple of those good hygrometers, but I got a bunch of the cheap round ones too, they work fine too, they are all easy to calibrate with salt.
Your gonna do fine, but you sure don't want to over dry them, if you can help it.

Ordered these aswell as boveda packs.. Which ahiukd be here tomorrow.
/ As I didn't want to over dry I have just trimmed and popped into jars.. And cut the remaining of the plants and got 139 so hopefully should be hitting the 120g off that single plant..

Hey Jamie, That was a good haul, nice job mate. Those look like some nice hygrometers to me, I would get some. But it says they don't ship to the USA.
Be sure to burp your jars every so often, too.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to read Nebulas tutorials on curing one more time, just to be safe.
But I think you are gonna do just fine.
Congratulations on your crop, and don't worry about the smell, it will be there when it's cured.

I'll get some more pictures of the other 3 up soon.

Hey Jamie, any grocery store around my house sells Unsulfered Molasses,
I like BrerRabbit molasses the best, it's got more good stuff in it than Grandmas brand molasses. But any kind works ok as long as it's unsulfered.
Happy Growing
