How do YOU dry and explain why?
Random question - If I botched a round and end up with Chlorophyll smell can it be removed by drying/curing for longer?
Anyways, I also cut limbs and hang before curing for a week. Just wondering if there was any benefit to De-budding and setting on dry racks, compared to hanging limbs/plants?

Hella ya it does! I just took them off the hangars and have them in turkey bags right now, just burping them regularly. I'm convinced the nice Diesel smell will return!
as far as the ammonia smell, when drying bud, it goes through a chemical process breaking down compounds, carbohydrates, and sugars to manufacture thc/cbd. By doing this, it releases that ammonia smell, this is why its important to burp your curing jars/bags. Its good for the bud to sit in the gas it releases but for short periods of time. by not burping them properly, your product could not only mold, but become more harsh on the smoker. i think of it as fermenting alcohol... ha
i dunno if i helped, but you sure have helped me... stuck working on sunday, missing football. THC farmer is the best way to pass time!
Mason jars. Use nothing else for storage 3 months after drying. Open them once daily. You will ruin your bud otherwise. Honestly you can be as good of a grower as you want but if you dont cure correctly you'll ruin your bud.
The process is actually chlorophyll and complex carbs breaking down to more simple sugars. This makes it easier for you to smoke actually too, A good way to tell if your pot is properly cured is when no white shit turns up while your smoking a bowl. If some white ashe forms on top of your bowl it means there wasnt a proper flush or cure done.

Does this mean I can work the chlorophyll smell out by curing properly?
Curing, to me, is getting the flowers to maintain a relative humidity/moisture that is appropriate for good smoking.Tis what I said initially curing is generally how you work that smell out.
