Earthy?. Bro your doing it wrong its supposed to smell like dead skunks..bongsmilie
Yeah I didnt trim enough of the outer greener leafs off and it wound up having a tint of an earthy smell ... Smoked nice though ... My second plant of the same species ( autofem blueberry) was harvested 2 days ago ... These are some pics of the tricombs from the actual buds .. I trimmed this plant the correct way and I used my pocket microscope 100x to obtain the photos .. I also threw a photo of the actual bud itself before the final manicure ... Tell me what you guys think

Might of cut her just a week or two too early but it still should be some good smoke just get deep and trim most of the sugar leafs

Thats what im talking about! Mouth watering!.:weed:
But I definetly do agree I should of waited another week or so ... But so far I have dried them for 3 days in a pinewood cabinet temps from 70-76 and now I have trimmed the "hang" stems off so I just have buds ... Now there're in a pasta strainer in a closet in my basement ..my basement has a dehumidifier so I put them in my linen closet lol ... Just for the next few hours ... I'll take them out in the morning ... See if they have dried enough .. If so its off to the jars ... They should be considering they were already dried on the outter most part of the bud ... Just want to get some of that wetness out from the center bringing some more scent wih it .. How does that sound to you? Sorry if I'm bothering you im new grower and want to get it right the second time lol since I have improved this grow substantially from my first grow I want to keep on the right track and your advice helps

Yes the drying is a bit of trial and error when your starting. Ur doing everything accordingly.

Wow, lot of great info! Buds look great also. Found the clear / cloudy works good.I find that the best. Been experimenting a little bit with different strains to see what happens
