Smell getting weaker with cure

So I'm curing about 2 Oz in a big glass sweets jar with a plastic screw on lid and a 62 boveda in there. I'm at about 3 weeks cure and the first few weeks I was quite happy with the smell however the last few days it's like the smell is disappearing, even the ground buds don't smell as much..any ideas?

I don't really know my percentages other than I jarred them with a 62 boveda but I think I jarred them to early.

Can the smell be brought back?

Totally poopered my restarting again first grow dry and cure.

Make sure they are damn dry before they go in the jars it is so deceiving , they might feel crispy (a bit) on the outside and stems snap then break (not entirely but there needs to be 'snap') , theyll be bloody soft and squidy again within 24 hours in the jar . been burping my for an a hour daily for week and a half and about to leave them closed for 3 days , they were unwaxed brown bag dried for 15 days.

The smell went all funky on the last one , and it was the natural ammonia I was smelling , it was too wet to go in the jars......still 6 months of awesome smoke but couldve been million times better.

The smell is getting better and better especialy on one of the phenos its an indescribable fruit smell , about to jar some lemon gold drops after 15 days bag dry and still got a damn 15 weeker 707 headband to cut.

They got to be dry before they go in the jars its problematic as well you get used to the smell , if I take my jars outside the house and open them they REEK , my mate last time even said it was stinking but I really couldnt smell it much.

It's a fine line - don't want them too dry or too wet

I like them almost crunchy outside but kind of pliable still. Then I jar them for a while and leave them open for a few hours the first couple of days, then less and less as time goes with the cure

I realise now it did really need defoliating and LSTing to get the most of it , make sure you do smokey dude at least open LST its got so many fucking leaves its unreal

And look how small this thing is...........only just started to see amber trichs at 14 weeks and 5 days , couldnt even find one before that.

Look how small it is mate lol , really you do NEED to defoliate a bit and LST her to get all the light to the middle branches , I just let her do her thing this time to see as they were all free seeds and I do love to see them in their natural shape at least once.

Smell is unreal fuel/OG/lemony.

Just started 11 Dutch Passion Strawberry Cough , got 11 in the 10 pack giggity
