when does the dank smell come back?

IDK... Maybe you didn't cure it properly, got too dry/was too wet/or dried too fast when you started. Tho some strains don't smell that much even if you do cure properly. Should be pretty stinky now especially after the jar has been closed for that long. Its a fine line to walk and takes experience to get perfect smell and taste out of a cure.

I think it has more to do with what you grew than how you grew it. cn

I dried my bud for 4 days till the stems bent but didn't snap but the smell was gone then it smelt like grass then I put them in jars with a hygrometer and it reads 61% rh and when I squeeze the small buds I can smell the smell i'm looking for but only when squeezed and small buds... It gets me high but has no smell or taste.. I just hope I can find that thin line for the perfect cure...do u have any hints that could help me out? I read about sweating the buds in paper bags I just need to find out how the pros do it every time and I'll follow their every step lol

O yeah and the plant a grew was a white widow and I grew her in a 3 gal smart pot

just a bad cure it takes practice what happened is you jarred too early and well by now if you dont have a good aroma ther wont be one for awhile.

next time let that shit get to the crispy point on the outside not only will teh stems crak but youll have some crispy edges, then jar it there will still be moisture and it will fluff back up. and just remember to open the jar for a few hours at a time(sometime 6- and slowly reduce that time over a course of a week pr 2.

Yea from what you described you jarred too early. A slow even proper dry is as important as jarring and burping. Maybe even more important because no matter how perfect you curing is a bad dry wont let the curing take place. I think you either have a very low RH and the bud dried too fast or you jarred too early. Did you smell an ammoniaish smell? if so it was probably too wet. If not I'd say it was dry enough but dried too fast. I live in central air and I need to paper bag my buds because the RH is too low. You need the correct inside amount of water almost perfect to let the process eat all the chlorophyll (grass smell) and spit out all the terpenes. Having it too wet will kill this process and too dry it wont happen at all. Its not all bad. There are certain terpenes that show up in non properly cured bud that are actual beneficial. Limonene (sp?) for one acts as an anti depressant and carcinogenic battler and is currently undergoing studies to help fight breast cancer and such.

From which breeder? My Nirvana "White Widow" was ~meh~ and not very smelly. cn

So your saying you cant hang buds and then jar them after 4 days...?
