Yup. So once again. The smell sucks. I just cant get it right. Plants smelled brutal before harvest. I could smell them from the street in front of my house. I have 3 more plants left to chop. If I don't get the smell I want I don't think I will grow anymore. I cut my grape ape. When I chopped 80% amber trics. Let stay in dark for two days before I chopped. Left all the leaves on. Hung for 5 days. The outside of the buds seemed way dry and didn't have much smell. I manicured the buds to jar. After the manicure and when I first put them in the jar it was out of this world. I have never smelled weed so dank. It was a mix of fruity pebbles and jet fuel.

I put the buds in the jar with an RH meter. The meter said 45% when I closed the lid. 30 minutes later the RH was 60% and it smelled like hay. I took the buds out of the jar and put in a paper bag for about 8 hours. I put the buds back in the jar with he RH meter and left for 8 hours. RH was then 58% and smelled like hay. Took the buds out and put back in the paper bag for a couple hours. Put back in the jar and now i am sitting at 50%. The buds are dry as fuck and when I open the jar and it smells like motherfuckin hay!!! If I leave the lid open for a minute the hay smell goes away a little and I get the good smell but I can still smell the hay. I am furiously angry and ready to give up. This is my 6th year and I can grow great plants but when it comes to the dry and cure something gets fucked up. There is not one single video on YouTube that is worth a shit. Yes I know the stem has to snap. I know you cant harvest too early. I know it cant be too wet when it goes in the jar. I have tried wet trimming. I have tried dry trimming. I have tried everything. It is a huge fucking let down. Even some dude I know grew the exact same way as me. Cut and trimmed the exact way. And his buds although kinda dry smell fuckin good. He didn't even cure. Just hung and dried. That's it. I'm at the end of my rope.
