New grower here.
I’ve done pretty well with my first grow. I’m using a grow tent with a 600w LED light. Venilated, small fan constantly moving the air inside, and the temp is set between 75-80 with RH floating around 60-65 for the final veg state. I ran into a temperature shock at one point but my plants came back to be very healthy looking at the end.
I’m doing a staggered harvest to give my lower buds a little more time to get the trichomes the color I want. My question is about the top bud that I have cut off and began to cure.
I hung for 2 1/2 days and now have had it in a mason jar for the last two days. I have a hygrometer monitoring my RH inside the jar and have burped it. I’ve done a lot of research and understand the RH I’m looking for etc. My trichomes were hazy just to the point of the tips starting to brown. They were really sticky.
Here is my question/concern. My bud has gone from having that nice semi dank smell to smelling not so good. I understand the curing process will, or is supposed to improve the aroma over time. Researched, and found that a “hay like” smell is normal in the beginning, which is what I have.
Is this normal and when should I expect the aromas to improve?
