Hahaha cucumbers. never heard that one before... I honestly dont think 4 days is NEAR long enough... But again that dpends on how you dry... some people dry in 2 minutes with an oven some string dry for about 2 to 3 weeks and I'm going to try to string dry in a chest at 101 degrees kinda combination at too with less heat than the oven method....

I'd honestly try drying longer but how are you drying???

Good question how are you drying? I haven't heard of pot smelling like that before. What strain is it? I wonder if it's really completely dry. Some people dry in jars, some quick dry in the oven or micro wave, even their toaster and I have known someone to even freeze dry.

The cucumber smell is from moisture in the buds. You have to let them hang longer, end of story.

I thought a few buds were completely dried and I put them in a jar. After only a few hours they "sweated" additional wetness and the smell changed from dankness to cucumberish...

DRY MORE, DRY LONGER. preferably by hanging in ZERO humidity with fans blowing everywhere, and darkness... I've been told: when you think it's done, give it another three days...
