Hey i had a few plants that i had to harvest early and got about 50 grams of i think...anywayz i hung it up side down and left it for 4 or 5 days...the weed is pretty much dry but it smells horrible...like old grass, it does get me high a little bit..but more a buzz. Why does my weed smell like this and is there a way to fix it?..i just put my weed in jars and im going to open them 2 times a day or so...but would jar healing help? Would it get a better smell again and make the weed a little more potent?

the jar curing will help. you're tasting the chlorophyl in the plant that curing gets rid of over time.

basically the slower you get to "jar ready" the better. The bud stem should snap cleanly before you put it in jars. At any rate, the "grass" smell should go away after the chlorophyl breaks down.

It seems everyone's weed smells that way during curing, escpecially when you first start out. I have a strain that is curing as we speak and when first smoked after dried, got the same thing-little high more of a buzz. It is getting better the more it is cured-the trichs mature and the leaf matter that contains less THC breaksdown leaving more bud with higher THC concentrations.
Have another strain that we had to chop 4-5 weeks into flowering and she got me blasted while she was still wet.

gonna be a couple of weeks-post back in a couple of weeks and let us know how it turns out

Haha good to know XD yeah hope i didn't put my weed in the jars too early hehe but i don't think it would be really bad cuz my weed isn't wet or anything

I agree with this post.

you should cure your weed for a month in jars, opening every day, to get that perfect taste outta your herb

quick question im currently drying my buds, but i do want to cure to avoid this grass smell issue. So should i put my buds in the jar when the stems snap/break off easily. Is that the sign that they are ready for curing? Sorry for the question but first time harversting

hang your buds up to dry. once the outside is dry, but theres still a little give and gush on the inside THEN put them in jars to cure. be sure to check them regulary and mix the buds up gently so no mold grows

Your weed smells like old ass? Man, that's not good. J/K. Curing is the answer to your stinky weed problem. You can cure your buddage in tupperware or in ball jars(glass jars w/metal lids). Put the buds in the containers without packing them in too tight. You will want to open them every day for an hour or so. If they start to smell a little moldy leave them open for a while longer. I actually like the tupperware better myself for a few reasons. One, you can get yourself a couple nice size ones and fit more into them. Two, if you get good ones, I think the seal is as good if not better than the rubber seals on the ball jars that tend to dry out after a while. Three, if you happen to get all stoned out and drop one it won't break and get small pieces of glass all in your smoke. And last, but not least, you really don't want to handle your buds too much. With the tupperware you can just take the lid off and toss the buds gently right in the container without ever having to put a finger on them. With the jars it's harder to get the buds in and out without roughing them up. The whole time you're curing, keep your buds in a cool dark place. Light degrades THC. The longer you cure, the better. I usually do it for a month or so, but I always keep my weed in a tupperware container anyway. So it's like the buds are curing all the way up to when they get smoked. Hope this helps.
