My outdoor is low-medium density and my indoor is medium-high density. Outs takes 7-14 days and my ins is minimum 14. My last indoor crop I slow dried over 21 days lol.No idea how big or dense your buds are... how long is it taking them to dry?
Thanks for the long reply. So should I expect the hay smell everytime and not worry?The hay smell is a normal part of plants drying and is usually the result of chlorophyll. During the drying process, chlorophyll is broken down by enzymes and bacterial action and goes away after a while. Once things dry up a bit and age for a few weeks, the hay smell goes away and the more complex tastes and smells develop. Drying too quicklky preserves a lot of chlorophyll... like drying a fresh bud in an oven. It tastes terrible but still does the job. Drying and aging gets rid of the nasty hay flavor.
Once I put my freshly dried buds in a mason jar and let it sir for a few weeks, things change for the better. Patience is key.
Smells like hay until it's trimmed and bagged up. Once the bigger leaves are off it smells fineHow do you find it smelling after the dry? Sounds like its not drying to fast.
I'm not sure what the issue is then. I would say its not all that uncommon. Doing a longer dark period at the end before chop may reduce the initial smell but if its not persisting once dried I dont see an issue.Smells like hay until it's trimmed and bagged up.

Thanks, I tend to agree with you. I'm going to try this for my next harvest in a few weeks. The bud smells great once it is bagged up though, my dry room is just overpowered by the smell of a literal barnNo you shouldnt expect the hay smell .something isnt right how you are drying it.Try trimming your buds and leaving it on the branch..and get the humidity down to say 50%of the whole room and leave the tent open.only time ive got the hay smell is when along time ago jarring it when its not dry..so id guess its because its all confined in the tent with leaves and all with too much humidity.
I think it's just ego hahaha. Every time I show friends and family my dry room their reactions are pure disappointment until it's trimmed hahahI'm not sure what the issue is then.

Lol dont listen to this guy.Try a few things like trim it up and place on a rack or even in a wooden draw lined with paper .
I think @Jimster had it covered on the 3rd response.Im surprised more people haven't chimed in saying how normal this is...Its just the chlorophyll breaking down and it goes away if you're drying and curing correctly.
HahahHa..You dont think it works hey.there is plenty of ways to skin a cat mate...Lol dont listen to this guy.
Pretty much. Some strains have a lot of other smells, like a strong skunk strain... but most buds will have a hay smell whenfresh. Wheather or not you can smell them over a skunky smell is questionable, but once the chlorophyll dissipates, you get the taste that you normally expect. After nearly 40 years of growing, I still worry about the smell and taste.Thanks for the long reply. So should I expect the hay smell everytime and not worry?
