Harvested my plants earlier this week. Pulled a smaller branch off to dry at home. I just put it in the jar today but it smelled like hay or wet grass. At what point does it start to get the nice aroma? How long should it take? Can someone explain this in full?

Mine would always smell dank before I picked em. If it smells like hay or grass chances are you harvested to early.

during flower i would say, few exceptions here and there where a strain gets stinkier(in a good way) after a nice cure, but those plants IME stink during flower as well so long as they were not going through problems and had a healthy run.

Mine goes from dank to hay back to dank. Once the dank comes back that's when I trim and goes into jars.

Did you dry it in the dark?
In a cool place?
around 50% RH?
If its good weed..the good smell will come back
Good weed is hard to fuck up..

Two weeks hanging in environment cgk described if it's still wet dehumidify if its too dry then humidify by the time I hit the jar I seal for an hour then uncover for a day then each Strain varies from there usually depending on density and size of nugs

In dank bud smells always there and fluctuates in mediocre smelling that is bud but doesn't always translate to potency but does in most cases in my experience with plants I've grown

I cut some premature bud a month ago and been in jars for a week and I'm burping once a day and really surprised at the developed aroma, its almost pleasure able for my taste buds

Someone told me to trim the green leaves a bit more. It worked!! I think the chlorophyl smell came from too many fan leaves on the plant. Trimmed them up a bit and now thw dank is coming back! My fingers are nice n sticky too..

You probably jarred them up too wet - it's a common mistake even with experienced growers. Let them dry a bit more then try again.

I agree but I must add it's so hard to assume we all have the same standard and by no means are my standards the best
I'm smoking on my preemy harvested flashdried bud right now
And I don't mean to sound like a smartass or cocky but I'm high as Satellite right now maybe I'm a lightweight idk

Wait.. im confused now.. You were trying to cure un-trimmed weed?

Don't most growers trim dry... then cure?

If it's got oils on it has potential to be smoked with efficacy but as far as enjoying that smoke there's only been one plant ever that I enjoyed smoking the trim but those were rough times Ya dig

There should have been a comma there.. Trim, dry, Cure... IE.. You don't jar up whole branches and hope for the best lol

I'm not sure how relevant I sound right now but I've had old branches and trunks sit around my drying room for about six months and some of those branches had incredible aromas and some had none at all

Perhaps the branches that smelled good already had most of there chlorophyll removed ? I dunno.. I just know too much green left on a plant tends to leave a funky flavor me anyway.

The less oils on that leaf the more funky Nasty undesirable aroma fir me.....I guess what I'm trying to say is some plants produce oils that don't evaporate as easy and are left behind I like to call that the soul of the flower Ya hippy right here in many cases but Ya so sometimes the soul evaporate s and sometimes it's trapped and some trapped soul isn't smelt until the chlorophyll and other molecules are broke down and or evaporated dried cured etc leaving behind a higher ratio of soul less ratio of udesireable smell

@Funk Monk can I get a funkin' approval over here ? I might have used soul and funk improperly lol
Funk on
