HAY SMELL
newenglandgrowersstarted grow question 3 years ago
Buds smelling a bit like hay/wet grass! what's weird is that the fat main tops are "crispy" and smell sweet and fruity but the smaller buds are still wet and smell like hay. On day 13 of drying 60%rh 72°F. The bigger stems are starting to snap but the smaller ones only bend??

Drying is a weird process bro. I haven't had 1 plant dry the same. I had what you are talking about on my 3rd part harvest on my zkittlez she had 95% white pistils and when slow drying she turned 100% amber and I had what you are talking about. And it's the best weed I've dried yet. The slower the better. Another 2-3 days. If you don't wanna overdry your main cola, strip them and put the small buds in a box and start your main bud curing in the jar. But 90% of the time you get all your grow in the same window but on occasion when you have dense buds and big cola stru and you dry it right like you did, (whole) it's just the stem drying out and the lil buds your talking about I bet they are mainly in V shaped areas of the stem right? She's drying great man.

Don't worry about the smell. When you start to cure it in jars you will find the hay smell will have gone. Just don't over dry it otherwise it'll take longer to cure. You want the small stems to snap easily before jarring.

I have found that waiting for the bigger stems to snap means I have over dried and need to hydrate the flower for curing. If you have a hygrometer try putting one of your branches in an airtight container with the hygrometer for a day and see what the humidity is.

And as for the hay smell, when it fully dries out most of that smell will go, but if it's still pungent like that it has some drying left to do, probably a bit too much as it prob will be too long for the drier buds. Strip what you feel is dry and cure it. And you can either strip the small buds and throw em in a box to dry quickly or you can let em dry out for a few more days, 3-4 by guessing from my own dry, which took 7 days for 70% and 10-11 for the rest of the 55g

Drying.Hi all!
I currently have 2 plants growing. 1 of them has clearly bloomed faster and I will have to harvest it earlier.
Because I have only one grow box and I don't know where to dry it. Can I put them somewhere for two weeks to wait for the 2nd one?
Could u tell me what to do?

How long after the last flush, do you wait until you chop your plant?
Do you let it dry out so the pot is nice and light before you harvest? Or is a little moisture left in the soil ok? Did last flush 48 hrs ago and I'm itching to chop her down, but still slightly damp soil

I have two drying options for my one plant. Wine fridge with perfect temp or closet with perfect humidity. Which is best?Should I dry my one plant in a wine fridge with a compressor that causes the humidity to fluctuate between 50-70% but can be set to a perfect 60f, or should I dry in a closet with perfect 60% humidity but temp at a steady 74f with no way to lower it? Perfect humidity or temp? ThxOther. Harvest - Drying

Harvest in 2 times, seeking advice, top big branch/buds first and then lowerNow 7 days from harvest. 3 plants with cloudy tricomes, no spottted ambar it's fine.
Is necessary to harvest in 2 times? Give a week more for the bottom "popcorn" buds and the third plant, shorter in shadow?
Should I cut whole largest branches entirely, or cut all at same height

Ready for Harvest?Hello, I'm a newbie and that's my 1st try growing at home. I created my growing box with LED lights and ventilation—3 plants from Fast Buds auto mix. Question: Are they ready for harvest (100 days old)? And I would love to hear advice on how to dry them. Thanx!

I got to harvest in 14 days: in order to have enough time to cure it before leaving home for 2 weeks (safety first: is a period of floods in here, I just can't take the risk). I had a pretty long vegetative stage but I'm gonna finish it at 13 weeks. Am I gonna ruin it it, right?

What do you all think?What do you all think?
The harvest will be in a few weeks, in Germany only 50g is allowed dry
Do you think it will be more or less?
I know it will be hard to tell from a picture how much dry remains, but I hope there are some estimates.
