The reason i take it before snap is becuase if i wait it seems buds are to dry. I took some this go rpund at the snap and jarred them 6 weeks latwr they are still hovering around 45% humidity.
So ive tried different ways . I have takin it with a snap and with a very dry spongy bud. Both turn out the same. When smoked of course the dry bud burns better but bith have same taste im guessing is the chorophyll taste everyone talks about. After jarred the more moist ones will be around 58-62% and the dryer ones will be around 45-55% . After a couple days of burping the ones that are moister seem to have a stronger smell and taste. But then its like over a day or two the taste and smell goes away and all thats left is either no taste or a very faint plant taste with hardly any smell to sometimes a faint plantish smell. Im really not undsrstanding what im doing wrong. Ive had cheap genetic to beginner expensive genetivs ive tried organic and bottle nutirents. And i feel like im following everything by the book that is what is the fustrating part. Like now i have sveral jars with several moisture levels 45-60% and been curing for 6 weeks and

You think if it is moist we shojld just keep burping it and when it drys it may tasteBummer man.
Wish I could help u.
Def test your stuff before you jar it then you know if it is your cure or not.
But there is a chance if you leave a bud out and let it get crumbly that it will taste better. I'm just saying because there is the chance your bud could still be fire. I know I beat a dead horse with that but moist bud is a very common thing and your bud won't taste good. And you haven't convinced me that your bud isn't moist. Lol.
Take care. Happy growing.
Tha ks for your help im gonna try that. I will keep trying and hopefully i can hit the sweet spot between not to dry and not dry enough.Bummer man.

Thabks im gonna look into the meter and give it a try.
Haven't had that problem but I'll share what little experience I've had. 1st, I've never been able to hit the 60 degree mark. Best I've managed was 68-70. My logic told me to bump up RH to compensate so I maintained 65-68 ish. Fan leaves removed. Usually small stems snap almost in two at 7 days. Exhaust on a very low speed. Circ fan below the hanging at fairly low speed angled towards the tent wall for a swirling effect. Some fatter product I have left in for 10-11 days. Then final trim and into the jars. Usually burped about 15 min twice a day for the first week. Then once a day for 15-20 min the second week. 3rd week every other day or so for 15 min or so. All the while monitoring the jar RH and adjusting burp time accordingly. The cheap RH meters are hit or miss (mostly miss). I've used my most trusted tent meter and laid it into a food container with a see through lid along with the mini rh meters. After leaving for a day or two I peek through the top and note the discrepancies. I use the ones with the orange cases so I can use a sharpie to write +/- whatever number to bring in line with the reference. But even this attempt at compensation is sketchy at best.Have since purchased a dry cure machine that makes the process idiot proof for me but quite pricey. I would attempt to verify some level of accuracy of the meters first to gain minimal confidence in them. Drying too fast leads to hay smell and taste from what I've heard and read but you say little smell or taste. Leads me to think terps are disappearing but at a loss as to why. Dry area does need to stay dark. Maybe jar product in various stages of the dry process and compare results. Sorry for the long post. Stay at it and follow up results.
I thought of another way to check the quality of the smoke before even drying. If you are trimming and collecting scissor hash, that hash put in a bong should get you wasted if the smoke is good.
Yeah. I agree you don't need a cure for good smoke it just needs to be dry. That's why I asked him if he tested his smoke before he jarred it. I mean if your bud isn't good before you jar it it ain't gonna turn good.
The buds do snap they are not crumbly where to
Smoke gets you high. Nice forehead sweat. Just doesnt have a strong taste haedly at all some have a faint ill call it a chlorophyl taste. Whata weird is we had aome smelling really good about end of week one cure but it wss like the next day the smell had gone away and was nobwhere near as strong as it was the day before. My dry tent stays at around 62 degrees and between 58-62% . I also have a small exhaust fan to come on if it gets above 65% and a small 6" fan point at side wall of tent on low. Ive tried several diffwrent strains ranging from 65 for 5 to 100$ for 5. Juat not sure where im going wrong
Jts def not smoke that im use to i would consider myself a snob. Im all about taste and smell. I agree i would love to know someone with good experience to be able to taste it and tell me where im going wrong.
Thats the exact problem i have when i wait for the snap. The bud is always between 45-55 % after 24 hours. I take the fan leaves and leave the sugar leaves to help extend the dry . I trim those after dry time. Let me ask. Becuase im not sure if over burping could be the issue. When i jar and the buds rh after 24 hours is between 58- 62% how often and how long should i be burping? I was doing 30 mins every day for first two weeks then every 3 days after that for bext two weeks then once a week for next month. And i was doing that whether they were in cure zone or above. Ive never had bud go into the jar and go above 63% after 24 hours. My dry usually takes 7-10 days. My conditions are 62 degrees 55-60% humidity. Tbis last batch after first week or so staeted smelling really good even had a good taste with slight chlorophyl after taste and then in like one day it all went away. What could cause that?
