hey ozziy,
i recently harvested and am also just going into the 3rd week of curing. the smells are only just beginning to come thru now, very weak. i believe that part of the reason is i overdried them a little and my curing "culture" is taking more time to establish.
another factor could be temps and light. some of the less stable terpene compounds will evaporate away when temps start hitting mid 80s f., and light thats too intense can do it too. something to watch for next time around.
that being said, i agree with the other friends here, its more about the quality of the effects. especially as a new or newer grower. i have learned that overall quality of the grow and cure comes with time and experience. the first few grows are simply about getting from root to harvest successfully.
im not impressed with a few factors in my last (first) grow/harvest/cure, but the quality of the effects are so outstanding and have bypassed ANY dispensary weed i ever sampled that the lack of smell n taste have really become insignificant. i have a dozen gram n 2gram samplers been sitting around untouched by me because i prefer my medically overripened flowers with little to no cure yet!
my soon to flip grow i am going to focus some more on the smell/taste qualities. no fruity shit. just the natural qualities of the strain.
tell ur girl to be patient. cant learn this shit without livin in ur tent for a while.
ok, think i went over my 2 cent limit. good luck, good growing.
