smell whily Drying in perfect conditions ?!

Had the same on a harvest at a friend. he dipped right on the 55% the whole drying phase and it was just hay for the first week after drying (already into cure) after 4 weeks suddenly hay smell was gone and it developed a gassy candyish smell.. I feel like the more you are on the 58-62% the better the smell is during drying.

Hay like smell could be a sign of drying it to fast. But you can try to cure that out. Got that a few times - after Curing for at least 4 weaks it smelled totaly different

That's the smell.mate, wait until there dry and you move or squeeze a bud. Then you will smell what your expecting pal. Happy farming.

Hey there man your plants look great If the buds feel dry to touch and when you bend a small branch in makes a little snap od trim buds to and toss em in some mason jars with a thing to read humidity. Let buds sit for a few hours if it is less than 60 to 62 id just leave them in the jars for a whole day then pull em for for like an hr and toss em back in for a day do that for a few days till when you break apart a bud it feels like it dried right. After that just open the jars a few times a day fir like 2 weeks like 20min at a time then after that just burp the jars for like 10 to 15min 1 time a day for 30 to 60 days. The smell should come back around Also some strains just don't smell very much Also a very key thing in keeping a good smell to your buds is not letting them get to dry and start putting them in and out of jars whe. There a little damp your will master it over time. It took me about 5 or 6 harvest to really get drying and curring halfway decent. But its always better to have buds get a little dry at the begging compared to them staying wet to long and start to rot or get mold on them.
