I took my plant down from hanging too early, and also put into jars too early ..slight hay smell and havnt cured yet but attempted to. But when I squeeze the nugs the real terpy smell comes out of the bud...is there any saving this ?

i think there are a few ways you can retify this. someone with more experience might come help you more but if i were you, id be googling and making sure the humidity and mooisture level isnt too high. might even be a good idea to dry them out a little more.

the hay smell goes away apprently after about 2 weeks of curing

was there a reason for taking it down early ?

Yea I'm letting them dry for a bit longer just sitting on a tray, and yea I took it down after 3 n half days because it was such a small Autoflower and stems were snapping but after I took it down I realized that some stems still were bending, it's like it dried unevenly possibly not sure really. But I put it in jars and it kept going from 58 to 65 and that's when Id open it up or take the buds out for a minute. Last night I had the jar at 62 for like 2 hours but it started goin up again

During the early drying process you get a chlorophyll cell smell when the plants are burning through them. You removed them before this process was finished. Cure as per normal and it will probably go away eventually. Typically it goes away and then the weed smell comes back during drying. Also after a couple months in jars new smells get unlocked during the curing process. Good luck!

Losing the smell and taste can take at least several weeks or months. The curing buds must be kept in the dark to deactivate the chlorophyll. I keep mine in amber-colored glass jars in a dark room.

It eventually goes away after a good cure. Still freaks me out too sometimes. Just make sure your humidity doesn't get to high in the jars.
