Howdy all,
New here, so hello and hope to see ya'll again soon. Attached are 2 pics, before harvest and after dry. It's suppose to be Master Kush. Plants were grown in 4x4 space with 400watt HPS, in 3 gallon pots with Miracle Grow potting mix, and Biobizz root, grow and bloom nute solutions. The buds showing are very fluffy and obviously didn't get enough light. I compounded that mistake by drying them in 6 days by inadvertently applying considerable heat to them. This was done by having the buds in between a few plys of newspaper on top of an oven in use ![]() They have been curing for 2 weeks in in airtight mason jar, vented daily, and still very much smells like GRASS. Is there any hope with a long term cure? Last edited by silk; 03-14-2007 at 04:21 PM.. |

WoW dude, holy shit! Reading this, almost ruined my high! There are no pics attached, but I assume they are pretty crisp? I've heard mixed reviews on Biobizz, I'm trying to remember where, and maybe it was from babygro, but I'm not sure.
You kind of defeated the reasoning behind "curing". If they are crisp, you might want to try adding a small slice of an orange peel, or a piece of parsley. Now have you learned what you'll do differently next grow? Just messing with ya. Peace |

"I compounded that mistake by drying them in 6 days by inadvertently applying considerable heat to them."
At this point, there is probably nothing you can do to improve the buds. Heat and THC are not a good combo. When you smoke it, does it get you high? If so, and the taste is not good, I'd make canna-butter with it and bake some cookies. Vi

I haven't smoked them yet. They aren't "toast", there is still a good amount of give to the buds and they don't shatter when squeezed hard. Stems don't pass the "snap" test either. I guess I n00bed the pix upload too. I bet ya'll know what fluffy buds look like
anyways BioBizz is straight out of Groningen, Netherlands and is mollasses based "organic". Fortunately I have a mentor, but he is straight out of Groningen too and he'd just tell me to toss the buds and go to the coffee shop and something about not leaving the temple any time soon... I've only harvested 3 times. So I'm still very much learning what works for me and what to watch for in terms of products. My mentor says go"bio" for good smoke or use "chems" for big yield. I prefer quality overall. thanks! Looks like pix are gonna work. Last edited by silk; 03-14-2007 at 04:19 PM.. |

Place what you have in a glass jar with a lid. Daily, "burp" the jar, meaning, open the lar and allow fresh air to enter. Do a search here on "Curing" No need to waste all your time and effort to ruin it all in 30 minutes......

Yeah, id have to agree with one of the previous posts. Your drying methods aside (which really you already know from what other people are saying about mixing heat with attempting to dry buds before the cure is wrong, so i wont preach on that), The plant isnt even close to finished. This alone is more than likely the main cause of your plants smelling like dying grass after theyre dried and have been curing for a couple days. Premature bud has a habit of smelling like shit when you try to cure it man, i got it wrong a couple different times, and both times i got the same result, no matter what i did in the drying process different. It took one of the OG growers in here telling me i choppped a week or two early n thats why my shit smelled like decomposing chlorophyll, for me to make sure my nuggets were always AT LEAST 50% amber trich-wise before i even thought about putting a blade to them.
Good luck next time around man -K1.
