I just wrapped up my first harvest . 4 plants , dried for about 15 days and put in glass jars.
This is day 2 of curing and I’m sensing a sweet and sour smell. From a smokers perspective , it reminds me of bud that I have picked up that smells almost “cheesy” . The smell only really hits when you put your nose right up to it.
One thing I’ve read up on , if it smells like ammonia , it wasn’t dried right … is the smell I’m describing sound like ammonia ? I have no clue what it really should smell like to be honest .
If you haven’t already done so, you should empty a jar of buds on a brown paper bag and feel buds for moisture; don’t just smell them. If they feel damp, leave out on bag for 15-30 minutes then re-jar them. If they don’t then they’re probably ok and the smell is likely the normal smell.
Hmm. Well AK just smells like good kush. And Banana kush is a sweet kush. G13 I don't know. The cat piss smell is normal. A chem smell is normal. Do a smoke test. See if it tastes like musty books or hay.
