I grew some querkle from clones bought from oaksterdam nursery.Smelt awsome during flower. Dried for about 4 days before putting it into paper bags for a few more days then into jars. they were in jars for about a week and a half and smelt like pot, but not really chronic. the bud was still pretty wet stems still bendy, supre sticky etc. so I put it into paper bags again for about 6 hours then back into jars. It has been about 4 days since then (and about 16 days total in jars) now the bud has pretty much no smell, and if anything smells kinda like hay. It looks like Chronic though, covered in crystals etc. it looks like something out of high times but smells like junk. where did I go wrong?
Why does my bud look so good, but smells like hay? +rep

i believe you dried too fast. did you flush the plant at all before harvest? but my opinion is that it was dried to fast and theres really nothing you can do about it. better luck next time bro.
U know I have had this happen to me. The Bud still got me very high but It smelled like hay? I started using more molassess and some stuff called boticare sweet...A little pricey like 64 buck a gallon. It didn't get the smell like I thought but it did improve...
How long did you cure it outside the jar?
Good Luck
Yes it was flushed with RO water only for a week. and I was worried that It was drying to slow, thats why I took it out and put it back into paper bags for 6 hours.
and it was hang dried for 4 days, bag dried for like 1.5 days then jars for like 1.5 weeks, then back to paper bags for 6 hours, now its been back in the jars for like 5 days

all bud is like that at first when it is drying and curing. if you want to get rid of it you need to cure your bud for at least 3 weeks (in my experience)
Beasters? This is a Subcool strain, and was purchased as a cutting from Oaksterdam nursery, I'm pretty sure that the genetics is not the problem.
Its been curing for over two weeks now already, will the smell improve?

my suggestion is break a piece in half..smell it ..rollit around in da fingers..if it smells bomb..different from the orginal hay smell..ur working with something.. continue ur cure..if uve snapped a nice nugg and nothing but hay smell, and smoke it, and its got that notorious hay taste..id say ur looking at the final producct considering uve aready been in jars for 16 days and anther week on the hanging and bagging brings u to 3weeks so far..
no shit..sorry i didn't use the right word Tom...looks like everyone knew what i meant...One in every bunch

I Can't really give you advice on how to make it smell better. Other than like tastypuff or something.
Butttt, the last bag i got that smelled like hay, tasted like ganj and got me Stoned. So I wouldn't be too worried.
Although it would be nice to open a nug jar and be greeted with that lovely aroma.

Cure it for 2 more weeks with no drying and see if it improves. If it doesn't just smoke it all, because it's not going to get better. GL

i only say its beasters because my definition of beasters is exactly what is being described, no offense, i mean beasters isnt all bad. but what i mean is prematurely harvested, good looking, hay smelling, paper bag dried weed in my book is beasters. its not an insult twords genettics im just voicing what i know
