Ive just harvested and drying in my 2x4 grow tent. Humidity 45% and temp 70f. Theres 4 fans in there circulating and a 6 inch exhaust. Im 3 days in and its not smelling like weed anymore..kind of musty...is this the cholorphyl or mold? Cos conditions are perfect so im stumped.

Turn off your circulating fans bro, the outside of the bud will appear dry while the inside will still maintain moisture.

If its to hot all the terpenes will evaporate out and the smell will not come back. But I don't think this is your problem. 70f/21c is not the worst 45% is a bit low on RH as it will cause the weed to dry much faster, ideally you want a longer slower dry. I would also only have one fan going every hour or so just to move the air aorund, not alway on, not multiple and not pointed directly at the buds, I would keep the extractor on always on the lowest setting possible. If not turning on when RH gets to high. Moving the tents air out every 2 hours or so is all it needs IMO. Can place pans of water in bottom of tent with the fan pointing at them to help boost RH back to aorund 55-62% Keep and eye on it and the cure should bring back the smells. I lost almost all smells in a quick dry on one of my harvests. but it came back in cure and when buds where broken up they shined and really came threw. Good Luck!

Die Bedingungen lesen sich gut 👍 also sofern kein schimmel sichtbar ist ,würde ich mir dann keine all zu grossen Sorgen machen. Gras entwickelt während der Blüte aber vor allem natürlich auch während des Trocknens die seltsamsten Gerüche. Ich hatte mal eine Amnesia Haze, die extrem nach Katzenpisse gerochen hat. Das war schon fast unangenehm. Geschmeckt hat sie jedoch sehr gut, würzig weihrauchig. Ich würde die Blüten genau im Auge behalten, immer mal vorsichtig fühlen aber den Geruch erst am Ende des Prozesses beurteilen 😁👌
