And a reminder my issue is smoke taste and smoke smell..
Thanks a lot man I will definitely consider that and maybe you write maybe I just need to try some better geneticsThere are many ways to skin the drying/curing cat. I don't have great conditions, temp about 72, rh about 45-55. What works for me is to hang them for 4-7 days, then trim and jar them, usually the RH in the jars is in the high 70's-low 80's, I leave the top off the jars for a couple more days which usually brings the rh down to about 70ish. then I close the lids up and over the next couple weeks I'll "burp" the jars a couple times a day and if needed leave the lid off for an hour or two, I also empty and repack the jars for more even drying. Once the RH hits about 60-62 throw in a boveda and seal em up. The longer the drying takes the more taste you'll get. Curing effectively stops once the RH gets below around 55%. The hay (cut grass) smell is the chlorophyll, a proper cure will eliminate the hay smell by allowing the chlorophyll to break down and release Nitrogen. Burping releases the built up N, and allows O2 into the jar which aids inthe breakdown of chlorophyll. Once the cure is complete, O2 is no longer your friend, so seal em up and store in a cool, dark, dry place!!!
Ok so just so I'm clear when drying keep humidity high and bring down gradually between 60 and 65 humidity (don't go below 60) and 71 degrees is ok if that's the lowest I can get??? Correct
Yea that cure and dry seems to be my issue .... Cuz I never jarred and the humidity was above 60 everytime I finished drying and put in the jar 55 to 58 humidity.... And it's always been 10 day dry when a lot of stems start to snapCorrect. 60-70°F is fine. One degree won't make a difference as long as you will keep proper airflow in area
I am sure it will taste better properly cured. Had once weed that started to taste more or less acceptable after 3,5 months plus in cure. Before that it was unsmokable. I don't remember what it wasso yeah- travel in seeds- there's right now all kinds of flavours- including ones that taste like pies

You put the cannabis in way too wet.Is there a thread or link to the ideal curing and burping conditions please help guys just want to make sure I'm doing things right
I have 2 jars thats been curing for about almost 2 months and the rh is 65-70 I burp one a day still or every 1 or 2 days and advice would be grateful
So it's from not letting your water sit for 24 hrs and then flushing them ... I thought it was because it drys too fast and the chlorophyll gets locked in there ?The hay smell comes from the water not the drying process.
Let your water sit 24 hrs before using then you’ll get no more hay smell
