5 bubblegum, grown dank with 400 hps and fox farm nutes.. everything looks good but after trimming and hang to try.. the buds start to smell like hay.. does that always happen? its happened before to me.. and also.. Does curing usually change that shitty hay smell and does it usually change bud colors with some strains?

That's funny cuz not too long ago I got some bud they were supposedly calling bubble gum (it was SHITTY BUD) and it smelled just like hay. They musta fucked up the curing cuz it was moist and shitty.

That grass clipping smell is chlorophyll

If you give too much nitrogen in flower, or harvest too soon, the leaves may not drain of the chlorophyll.

Another cause would be drying too fast. The Chlorophyll is used up (drained) during a slow dry, and somewhat during the cure.

9-11 weeks is just a guide it could take longer depending on conditions. high temps during flower could screw ya too
