Overdrying buds...good smell??

flowingreen05 · Jan 15, 2009

when hang drying your buds how do you know if they dry too much? I know that if this happens you can add an orange peel to the jar your curing in but i was just wondering what the signs of an overdryed bud are? Also how long does it usually take for the weed to get that good smell back i've been curing some bud for a little over a week now and it still has the hayish smell to it

If you pinch it and it turns to dust its too fucking dry. If you pinch it and it sticks to your fingers but still breaks up without a problem its probably good to go.

Are you opening your jars and turning your buds everyday? The hay smell should go away rather fast if there dried properly.

will putting the bud into jars too soon or too late cause different smells?

Too soon will just mean they will take longer to dry. Too late will mean they will already be over dried and wont really do too much to em.

Yea I open them twice a day for 15-30 min on end. Does the smell come back when the buds are completely dry or should it be back before that?

So your TWO questions are:
1. When are buds over dry? - When they crumble like a dead leaf
2. How long until the bud loses the hay smell? - My experience is about the 3rd or 4th week of curing.

If you over dry your buds, put a couple of wetter buds in the jar with them, the moisture pretty much distributes evenly with no mouldy orangey taste

question.. what if you were to put a wet (straight off the plant) bud in a jar full of really dry buds? would it dry it out at all?

jimboy227 · Jan 17, 2009

In theory it would, but i wouldnt, think thats a bit too wet.

A piece of apple is so much better then an orange peel

adding anything but weed to your curing jar is just plain wrong..

Moisture is what makes buds smell like hay,if they smell like shit its because they still have alot of moisture in the inner bud.
