Just as the title says I would like to know how do you guys get that loud/dank smell? You know when you have weed wrapped up in a bag, zip lock tied, and in a backpack but you still smell that shit wreaking havoc on your nostrils. That's the kind of smell I want. I am sure drying and curing is pretty important as well as strain? But what about nutrient doses. More nutes, more smell? Also does weed have a stronger smell when it's more stickyou or more on the dry side? The strains I have are blueberry og, sour diesel, green love potion, afghan kush, chemdog, and cr+. I know these ducked have the capability of producing that smell. From you guys experience what's the most EFFECTIVE way of bring those sweet skunky, funky, fruity, citrusey smell out.

You answered your question. Proper and even drying slowly with a slow cure in jars burping every so often.

First I wet trim. Once the trim is done I hang the plants in my room. I keep the room at 65 deg and 60% humidity. It usually takes 10 days to dry. From there if its personal smoke I jar them for a month.

I would definitely make an effort to get the drying down. It can really either make or break the end product.

Thanks a lot. Is it true that the longer you dry the more smell comes out?

Realistically, I let them hang for about a week in a comfortable environment with no direct light than cut buds to size and fill jars halfway and burp them for 2-4 hours a day for a month.

What is your temp and humidity when you dry? And do u use those humidpak things to cure with?

So after the 10 days would there be a dank smell? Or does that come after the month of curing

Also giving your plants a dark period before actually cutting it can help. That way when you chop your plant it doesnt have all the chloroplasts and all that other shit the plant cells have during photosynthesis (when you have sunshine)

When you cut a plant during photosynthesis it will smell grassy and hay like.

They will smell but definitely not as strong as after they've been cured.

A good thing to look into are the 62% RH humidipaks. Once you've got your buds jarred the humidi packs will keep the RH in the jar at 62%.

I need something bigger than those jars. My harvest are like 4lbs. Is there anything else besides those jars? Tupperware tubs perhaps?
