getting rid of the chloraphyl smell

Ralphie · #1 12-19-2007, 11:18 AM

this is my 3rd grow and everytime i can not get rid of the horrible chloraphyl smell.. i am in pretty low humidity, so i dry for about 3 days then cure in jars for about seven opening once a day until they are no longer sweating

what am i doing wrong? i am getting massive amounts of bud everytime but the smell and taste is really starting to piss me off

i buy commercial bud all the time and it doesnt even have this taste.. so i know its not a matter of curing longer cause i doubt commercial growers cure more than a week

Are you adding anything to the end of the growing cycle? I use "Sweet Leaf" by Advanced Nutrients. Also, (and you probably know this) don't add any nutes the last week or two (not sure which).

Um ok...thats why.
You dont dry for jus 3 days...the point of drying is to hang the buds upside down to get rid of the chloraphyl. you got to dry atleast a week, you rush it .
curing needs atleast 2 weeks.

Holy crap, I didn't notice the 3 days part. My bad.

well, after 3 days they are dry and crisp.. almost bending at the stem.. im not going by time as much as im going by feel.. maybe i should go a couple days longer, but i dont want them to crush into powder when broken up.. should the chloraphyl be out by the end of drying or atleast most of the smell(in normal cases)?

can you hang to dry in freezing environment? Do temps have to be above freezing?
