They start with that smell, IME, and during curing the smell goes away. For curing, you do want to try to get that RH a wee bit lower, 65% is fine, with a few notable exceptions. Mostly with strains like Northern Lights #5, which is just too sticky and gooey at an RH of 65%, even at 60%! I have to get nugs from girls like that to just under 60%.

Is the Nirvana Northern Lights #5 do you know? In your opinion, does the brown bad hurt the dank smell we desire when curing?

I don't have any experience with that to be able to say.

Curing in brown bags slows the process and evens out the moisture content resulting in a better cure.
