Drying - I've tried it all!
SpaceCake26started grow question 6y ago
Drying, I cut each stem, hang from net, no fans on just extraction on timer every 2 hours for 30 mins. Temps held solid between 18-19 degrees and minimal trim removed beforehand. I can still notice the smell fading and a hay like one taking over. Does anyone have any advice?

Wait until the stems make a snapping noise when bent but do not break clean apart. Then trim and cure in containers. A good cure can help that hay smell significantly.

It will smell like that during drying. After a week of cure you will have jars full of gasoline!
